YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

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'll join this BR!

I'll probably start this tomorrow because I have lots of homework to do and I'm really behind my reading schedule :/

I'll be starting this later today, I'm a bit behind too :)

Surprisingly, I really enjoy the writing style! but I can't really focus and I need to reread some parts in order to understand it.. though I don't believe it's the book... maybe I'm too tired
Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ Okay, that was an interesting legend but I am a bit confused about the mystery boy... it turned out that Kenna's aunt has also seen him? I have so many theories about him...ugh :D and Adelaide has some secrets too... she acted really suspiciously when she saw Kenna's aunt journal! I believe she and her daughter have some secret agenda... (hide spoiler)]

is anyone reading this with me? :( Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ okay, now I think that the witch is Adelaide... I am almost sure about it! I love Duncan and Jamie, even though he is a bit hard to read.. he is going to be a king soon so it's expected to act in a certain way and I like to believe that he is a bit scared of showing his feelings because he is starting to like Vee... (hide spoiler)]

I am :) sorry for being so late, I've been a bit behind with my buddy reads! I'm about 10% in at the moment

chapter 19 (view spoiler)[ aghh after those sweet moments both couples shared everything shattered... and those dead soldiers? I am sure Gideon has something to do with it... he could be working with the witch (hide spoiler)]
chapter 21 (view spoiler)[ I knew it!!! She is the witch hahaha (hide spoiler)]

chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ I can't understand why doesn't she just tell him about the journal.. and she acts a bit too childish which is starting to annoy me... also that Scottish accent Carey Corp was trying to show makes it really hard for me to imagine the perfect prince with his deep voice... I just laugh all the time at his strange pronunciation :D but apart from that I am very much enjoying it! (hide spoiler)]
