Aurelia

Aurelia
By Anne Osterlund
Speak, 2008. 246 pgs. Young Adult

Aurelia, the crown princess of Tyralt, wants control over her own life. Robert, her former classmate, wants Aurelia. And someone wants her... dead. Robert, the son of the king's former royal spy, is allowed into the inner circle to secretly investigate and watch over Aurelia. But the princess will not heed the danger around her, and she does not need Robert to save her. Just as their friendship begins to grow into something more, the threat on Aurelia's life becomes paramount.

Part mystery, part romance, this was a fun, light read. Unfortunately, it was a bit predictable, but it was still enjoyable to watch events unfold. I think teens will really enjoy reading this and I will definitely read the next book in the series.
