About this ebook

In this sequel to Doon, Kenna Reid has made a horrible mistake—choosing to follow her dreams of Broadway instead of staying in the enchanted land of Doon. But when Duncan, prince of Doon, appears with an urgent message from Veronica, MacKenna is given a second chance at Doon and true love. With an evil magic lurking across Doon, and MacKenna’s destiny entwined with the cure, can she make peace with her decisions, or will she succumb them.

One year after the events that took MacKenna and her best friend Veronica to the magical land of Doon, Kenna is rethinking her decision to walk away from her friend, Doon, and the highland prince of her dreams - Duncan. To make everything worse, she's received her Calling—proof she and Duncan are each other's one true love— especially when visions of the very alluring Doonish prince appear right before she goes on stage. When Duncan appears and tells Kenna that Doon needs her, that Veronica needs her, she doesn't hesitate at second chances.

Not all is right in Doon, though Jamie and Veronica have blossomed into a full romance, Kenna can’t help but sense that Duncan is yet to forgive her for breaking his heart and abandoning him to pursue her Broadway dreams. As they investigate the dark magic plaguing Doon from the inside, they discover that the witch has left her mark, and not all wounds heal. MacKenna’s fate and destiny are entwined with defeating the dark magic, but can she learn to forgive herself and release Doon from this plague? And even if she can defeat the evil, her happily ever after may still be in peril.

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed this book. It is the continuation of a story I am interested in, set in a beautiful world with lots of adventure. The characters are interesting and unique. I loved that Kenna is always singing and mentioning musicals; it brings her to life in that even her thought life is affected by the things she loves. Also, Vee and Kenna’s friendship is beautiful. The constantly comment on how they “share each other’s brain” which shows the depth of their friendship. I also enjoyed the plotline, which is the main thing I consider when liking a book. It held my attention with a mix of romance and crisis. Destined for Doon didn’t pull from me the same emotions as the first, however. Part the reason for this is the fact that much of the turmoil between the couples are misunderstandings which could be rectified if they would just talk and actually listen to each other. Of course, the existence of misunderstandings is probably a pretty accurate portrayal of any relationship. The curse was interesting. The authors never really explained how the witch made it since Vee and Kenna stripped her of her powers in the first book. Then where is she and how did she restart the curse?

I'd give it 6 stars...truly amazing and suspencefull. I can't wait for the next book!

What kind of ending was that??? Haha!!!! It was good though!!!! 😇
