Doon
Carey Corp & Lorie Langdon
Veronica just saw her boyfriend flirting with another girl. Her mother is dating a lazy, cruel new man and they both pretend Veronica is invisible. She has been having visions of a handsome kilted Scottish boy.
When her best friend invites her to a summer vacation at her inherited Scotland cottage for free, Veronica can't say no.
Veronica packs up and heads to a small cottage near a mysterious bridge. Within the cottage, Veronica finds a mysterious journal describing a parallel world that passes time much slower. She also realizes that her mysterious kilted boy has followed her to Scotland.
When the girls find magical rings and cross the Bridge of Doon, they are transported to that fantasy island where they are taken to the princes of Doon. When Veronica arrives, she realizes the oldest prince is the mysterious kilted boy from her visions.
Together, the girls and the princes must uncover the dark underbelly of Doon in order to save the island before it is destroyed by an evil sorceress bent on destroying Doon forever.
This is a pretty girly book, I will say that up front. Veronica is in love with the idea of love, especially with the prince. Her best friend, Mackenna, also is rocketed into love with the prince's brother. However, the fantastical magic throughout the story is Earth shattering. The girls act like 16 year old girls, so they do some pretty stupid stuff without thinking it through, which actually makes the story more believable.
The four main characters are connected on levels you don't find out until the end of the story, and you're left heartbroken when both Veronica and Mackenna make the ultimate sacrifices.
This is the first book of a new series...The second book is:
