Representaion In Pursuance Of 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. Follow the journey at http://www.DoonSeries.com

Cross the Bridge!After reading this book I can't help but be amazed. Its like these two authors took everything I love and added it all into book form! They couldn't have picked a better setting if they had tried. Scotland already has the looks and feel of a fairytale land. Combine that with some memorable characters, heart pounding romance, a dash of magic and you get Doon. I think what I liked most about this book was that even though it had the makings of a fairytale things didn't just fallReview can also be found at Jackie's Book World Blog :)*ARC provided by Netgalley*I was immediately grabbed by the beautiful cover and the premise. Even before reading the book, I knew it was going to be great. Doon is a magical scottish place that has been placed under a spell in order to protect the people of Doon from an evil witch. But the spell would not protect the people of Doon from what's coming to them.When Mackenna suggests that Veronica and her go to Scottland for a vacation. It
I really wanted to like this book. Scottish setting? Girls who are great best friends? These are things I love. The set up was fabulous, but the book didn't follow through. It's 368 pages of telling us why everyone is awesome and why the witch is so scary rather than actually letting the characters breathe and become real for the readers.Everything was too much. There was no subtlety, no reality. Everyone is model gorgeous (as repeated CONSTANTLY) evil is EVIL, good people are totally pure.
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,
Ahh, where to begin? I love when I find a book that I can't get out of my head days after I have turned the last page. A book that has you longing for more and wanting to believe in everything; fairy tales, time travel, aberrations, The Calling. That is exactly what I found Doon to be.Ms. Corp and Ms. Langdon do not disappoint in this first book of what is bound to be another great young adult series. I easily devoured Doon (as a grown-ass woman) and I can only imagine how our youth would
OH MY GOSH. This was so perfect. SO PERFECT. I just can't even. I NEED THE NEXT ONE NOWWWWWAll of my reviews are spoiler free (unless stated otherwise) so you can go ahead and read my review!Full review:Doon follows the story of two best friends who are spending their holiday in Scotland as one of the girls has inherited her late Aunt's cottage in Alloway. The other girl, Veronica, keeps having hallucinations of a handsome blonde boy in a kilt and he seems to be calling to her to follow him. The
