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

I had never heard of this book before I picked it up at Barnes & Noble a few weeks ago. And while I usually like to do a little research about books that I have never heard of before I pick them up, I decided to just go with it in this case because let's take a moment and be honest...I'm a total fool for a beautiful cover. *sheepish grin* And this one is a doozy! Beautiful girl on a bridge facing a gorgeous misty green landscape with a castle in the background. Hook, line, and sinker-I wasThis first installment in the Doon series by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon was a very fun, light, Summer read. It's a retelling of the stage musical Brigadoon, and while it does focus heavy on the romance, I honestly wasn't bothered by it. I felt it was handled well and, also, NO LOVE TRIANGLES! Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I loved the beautiful descriptions of Scotland.To see my full video review, click HERE.FINAL VERDICT: 4.5 stars
I have a confession: I love the recent plethora of young adult fiction. Not Twilight I have standards, after all, but it busted the floodgates wide open and now were swimming in some great, thoughtful and provocative YA Lit. From Katniss Everdeen and Percy Jackson to the Pure trilogy, the YA world is delighting young adults (and some of us not-so-young) with creative and original fantasy.Another confession: I dont often hold Christian art in high regard (at least not since the Renaissance). We
This book is what made me fall in love with Scotland. Truly a fun and timeless read that sticks with you months later. I know Carey & Lorie personally and they are two of the most gracious and loving authors I know. Their book is a true tale of friendship, love, loss and adventure. I read this book almost a year ago and am still in love with it to this day!A must read <3
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
Before I begin, I should disclose that I'm critique partners with both authors, and I consider them among my closest friends. But please don't let that discount my review. I first read DOON in draft form a couple of years ago when Lorie and I agreed to swap manuscripts. Despite the fact that it was unedited, I tore through DOON in a day because I simply could not step away from it. Over time, I've read each new version of the manuscript, and it kept getting better and better. I fell in love with

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
