Narration During Books Doon (Doon #1)
DOON… 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. DOON is loosely based on the premise of the musical Brigadoon, with permission from the ALan Jay Lerner Estate and the Frederick Loewe Foundation.

ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh TEN MILLION STARS!!!! *passes out from the intense fangirling*~~~This book is my favorite of the year. I can pretty much stop reading books now until next January- my year of book reading is complete. Brigadoon is one of my favorite stories and musicals. The musical has one of my favorite actors (Gene Kelley). Scotland has always been this elusive and attractive place to me, probably started by a love with Neil Macneill from the Christy novel. Anyway, I hadAbsolutely perfect. This book blew me away! I had pretty high expectations, and they were well exceeded!The plot, and the idea of entering into another world that you may very well end up trapped in, reminded me very much of The Chronicles of Narnia and Entwined- two of my favorite books! I thought the characters and the world were thought out really well, you really felt like you were there, and you felt what the characters were feeling.And Jamie MacCrae. Can we just. Oh my goodness, yes. New
This book is what made me fall in love with Scotland. Truly a fun and timeless read that sticks with you months later. I know Carey & Lorie personally and they are two of the most gracious and loving authors I know. Their book is a true tale of friendship, love, loss and adventure. I read this book almost a year ago and am still in love with it to this day!A must read <3
What if you, as a modern young woman at the cusp of adulthood, had the opportunity to step into a misty Scottish fairy tale? Would you take it--even if it means that there might be no going back? Such is the dilemma facing Veronica & Kenna, two best friends who go for a post-high school graduation trip to Scotland, only to find that the mists in this lovely country hide secrets far beyond their imagining. I LOVED the way the two authors of this novel deftly weave the contemporary worldviews
(Originally posted at www.keepersbookreviews.blogspot.com)**Actual Rating**: 5 stars**Book Format**: eBookOh. My. Sweet. Mama. This book was so literally breath-taking that I had to take the time to round up all my thoughts before I could sit down and start writing this book review. Doon is probably the best non-sequel book I've read this year, and makes up for all the bad books I've read before this; it's just that great. When I first saw the cover and synopsis - and then looked at it again -
Ill admit, I first heard of this book on Youtube and thought it seemed very bad, very cliché. However, after reading a few Outlander books (by Diana Gabaldon) in the last months, I started a *kind of* obsession with Scotland, or at least books with some historical background or time travel elements. This book has it all! But the story itself is a retelling, nothing groundbreaking there. The strenghts of this book were the characters and the writing.The characters: You know when in some books,
This was a Did-Not-Finish, and I read almost 150 pages of this book before I had to stop reading. When I went to ALA a few months back, before I got onto the floor I promised myself I'd only pick out books that looked interesting to me as if I were in a bookstore. But when someone was standing there, handing out free copies to people as the authors signed the books, I couldn't help myself, and hoped I'd be pleasantly surprised even though the synopsis didn't grab me. I'm not the type to idly
