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

  • I loved learning more about each of the characters..
  • 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

  • The book ends on a cliffhanger that has us wanting more!

 

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

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for a copy of this book! All opinions ar my own.
