My Review: I fell in love with the cover of Missing Royal long before I knew the story behind it. This cover drew me in and made me want to know the story that lied in wait behind it. Now I have the story and understand how the cover ties in and I was not disappointed at all. Everything about this story is so very interesting an unique. I don't want to give any of the story away as I want to keep it locked up tight inside of my heart forever but, where would the fun in that be. I will tell you that every word, character, and scene was so completely vivid that it was as if I lived inside Missing Royal and had been there my whole life. I will not soon forget this story. Konstanz Silverbow as written an amazing awe inspiring book that has captured my heart. I am not sure where the Finding Gold series will take me next but I am ready for the adventure to begin!
5/5
Excerpt One:
We
don’t race like usual. No games or laughing. Just silence as we ride through
the trees and towards the gate. The one place I've always wanted to go. The one
place I wish I was never going. The one place I can’t avoid.
We
arrive at the gate far too soon. I begin shaking. My hands tremble as I fidget
with the reins. My entire body is tense. I’m not sure what terrifies me the
most about this whole scenario but one thing I know for sure, this is real.
It
isn't a joke set up by my parents. This isn't just a dream that’s about to end.
Tears well up in my eyes once more as I finally let the truth sink in – I’m
leaving everything I've ever known and never coming back.
Everything
I know is behind me. And all that lies ahead is a life I’m not ready for.
People wait for me because they love me, they claim me as their own but I do
not know them. It’s like my whole life is walking along a cliff. One more
surprise, one last push and I’ll go over.
I
don’t know who I am anymore. I don’t know much of anything. I’m walking into
the unknown with someone I thought I knew, but don’t really know at all. Each
haunting thought fills me as we approach the gate. So desperately I long to turn
around and run now while I still can.
“My dear Shanice, please be
comforted and know that you are being watched over. No harm will befall you at
this time. Feel peace, my daughter.” The haunting voice of my mother,
the one who beckons me, overcomes my senses. And where it terrified me before,
now her voice is soft and comforting.
I
feel the peace she wishes me to and as scared as I am, as much as I don’t want
to go, I make it to the gate and continue walking as it opens with one loud
squeal. Valentino allows me to enter first. Perhaps he can feel how much I feel
like running right now and knows I won’t make it through on my own.
But
I nudge Star forward, sobbing uncontrollably. Five steps in and I pull on the
reins. I turn around in the saddle and watch the gate close. More racking sobs
overtake me as my past is closed behind me by a hauntingly beautiful gate.
