Teen Review - Princess Trap by Kirsten Boie

Princess Trap by Kristen Boie

When new “princess” Jenna, her long lost cousin Melena and their friend Jonas save their country, everything is great, right? Not so much. After an unflattering picture of Jenna appears in newspapers around the world and she discovers her boy-crush kissing another girl she has had it. Jenna runs away but stumbles across mother’s boyfriend’s son, Perry, who is on the run for his own reasons. They decide to hang low for awhile but when Perry gets back from buying some food, you’ll never believe what he has found: An explanation of the shortages of food and necessities which having been occurring in Scandia, their beloved country, that everyone assumes was caused by the rebels. But last year, when the rebels helped Jenna, she found that things aren’t always as they seem and that includes people. Could her father, whom she just met for the first time last year before he was forced into exile, be the cause of another crisis in Scandia? If he’s isn’t in charge, then who is?


This was an excellent book with cliff-hanger ending chapters. I highly recommend it but advise reading the first book in the series, The Princess Plot by the same author first. I loved that the book had different viewpoints so there were many different things and sub-plots going on. I really enjoyed both of the books. They are a great combination of mystery, fantasy & politics.
