Doon book review
I recently read the book Doon by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon.
I got a free copy of this ebook from BookLook Bloggers in exchange for an honest book review.
Book Summary:
"Veronica doesn't think she's going crazy. But why can't anyone else see the mysterious blond boy who keeps popping up wherever she goes? When her best friend, Mackenna, invites her to spend the summer in Scotland, Veronica jumps at the opportunity to leave her complicated life behind for a few months.
But the Scottish countryside holds other plans.
Not only has the imaginary kilted boy followed her to Alloway, she and Mackenna uncover a strange set of rings and a very unnerving letter from Mackenna's great aunt—and when the girls test the instructions Aunt Gracie left behind, they find themselves transported to a land that defies explanation. Doon seems like a real-life fairy tale, complete with one prince who has eyes for Mackenna and another who looks suspiciously like the boy from Veronica's daydreams. But Doon has a dark underbelly as well. The two girls could have everything they've longed for...or they could end up breaking an enchantment and find themselves trapped in a world that has become a nightmare."

I enjoyed reading this book, it was very good and very interesting. I think the first person alternating points of view of the characters Veronica and McKenna worked really well, and they clearly had their own voices, and their character developments were quite clear and good.
Doon is like an old fairy tale with a modern twist, full of magic and fantasy.
However, even though I did enjoy reading this book and found it interesting, there were times when I found myself lost in what was going on and a bit confused, which resulted in me taking a break from reading this book before I could continue reading it. But I did finish reading it, and I really enjoyed it.
