Book Review: American Royals III: Rivals by Katharine McGee

American Royals III: Rivals by Katharine McGee is the third book in the American Royals series. It follows the what-if scenario if America had a royal family.

In this third installment, our protagonist Beatrice has taken her reign as Queen. One of her first duties is to host the League of Kings—a conference for royals. This exciting next chapter finds relationships tested, strangers becoming friends, and rivals becoming allies.

Highlights

  • All the drama! There is a lot of it in this book and it’s fun to read.
  • A surprising ending that you won’t see coming!

Lowlights

Final Thoughts: American Royals III: Rivals does a fantastic job diving deeper into each of these beloved characters.
