Book Review: Doon by Carey Corp & Lorie Langdon


Veronica and Mackenna are best friends, and have been since childhood. Veronica’s family life has become miserable, and Mackenna has recently inherited a cottage in Scotland from her aunt. The summer after high school, the two of them decide to take a trip to Scotland together before embarking on college and careers. However, upon arriving at the cottage, the girls find more adventure than they bargained for in the form of a strange and isolated kingdom called Doon.
Doon is the first of a new series, and as a fan of fantasy novels I must say I quite enjoyed it. Once I got into the book I couldn’t put it down, and stayed up way past bedtime to finish reading it! When I got more than halfway through the book, I realized the author’s use of allegory to present Christian themes through fantasy, and began to enjoy the book even more! The target audience is teens or young adults, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait for a sequel!  The story was full of suspense and built up romance, and although there were a few parts that almost seemed predictable, the story line was entertaining. I would recommend this book to readers of fantasy.

I received this book for free from the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers <http://booklookbloggers.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions and thoughts I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255
