From An Online Book Club:
This book, Princess: She's No Ordinary Princess. Her Secrets Are Out Of This World, is a mindblowing book by the talented author, Robin Peddieson. I liked so many things about this book. The first was the turn of events. When Sara found the sofa she was curled up on and the table beside her wasn't her own, I thought the two guys she saw staring at her were her abductors, but I was totally wrong. They were the complete opposite of what she thought. Knowing that she was a total stranger with gruesome marks on her back, a normal human being would have, at the very least, allowed her to stay for the night and maybe sent her out the next morning or even phoned the cops. But that was not the case with Sean and Liam. Although they had their doubts, they were still welcoming and understanding. This made me believe that there are still kind and loving people.
​
Robin Peddieson is very skilled at keeping people in suspense. I kept wondering who Sara's abductors were. Who or what was the shadowy figure only she could see? Why would they give her a long break before carrying her off again? Who would inflict such injuries on her? Why couldn't she remember significant parts of her life? Why, of all places, was she dropped in Ireland? These questions kept me reading because I really wanted them answered. When they were answered, I was blown away because I never in a million years would have guessed them correctly. I think this is a very important skill every author should have: the ability to keep the reader guessing.
​
The book was divided into quite a lot of chapters, which was a huge boost because it's easier and more relaxing to read a big book with smaller chapters. I also liked that each chapter had a title that gave an insight into the chapter.
​
I appreciated the fact that the book was professionally edited. There is no double that the book is terrific. I found nothing to dislike about it. I rate this book five out of five stars, as I found no reason to deduct a star from my rating. The positive aspects of the book influenced this extremely high rating. I highly recommend it to lovers of fiction, but especially to those who love books filled with suspense.

I haven't read a book in a while and this book gave me the inspiration to start reading again. I can't wait for book 2 to come out.
Kristine Wieckowski
I must say the title is a bit deceptive. I was expecting your typical "Princess" type of storyline, but I was wrong about that! This book is filled with deep characters that pull you in from the start. The twists and turns are very unexpected and so original. I just cannot wait for a second book. There MUST be a second book as this wonderful story keeps you wanting more. Great read, wonderful new author with obvious talent and a great imagination. Keep them coming!

I finished this book in a weekend. I was recommended by a friend and I can't thank them enough! It's an unexpected storyline with mystery, intrigue and a love story thrown in for good measure. I am now a fan and will be watching for more books by the author. She's definitely got my attention!

I really wanted to read this book because Robin and I worked together as a team ao read a friend's book is very fun. I started reading assuming it was going to be book on the law (we worked together in a law office) but it became so much more. I am waiting impatiently for the second book and Robin told me that it is being edited so hopefully we can continue on with the story soon!

Captivating! I met Robin at a neighborhood sale where she held a table presenting her book. "Princess" As a budding author, I love supporting the work of others. Even though this isn't my usual genre (thinking it was a romance novel), so I purchased it. When I got home, I flipped through the beginning pages and found myself curled up on my chair with a cup of coffee. It's been a long time for me to read a fiction book, but I couldn't put it down. When I did, I came back as soon as I could. It was finished in 3 days. I thoroughly enjoyed the mysterious novelty of this adventure. I cannot wait for Book Two and Book One seems to leave off dangling the carrot of more to come. I you are looking for a good read that captivates your interest, this is it!

I cannot recommend this book enough. It's not the kind of book that I usually pick up to read. But because I know Robin, I REALLY wanted to read her book and LOVE it. And that is exactly what happened! Once I got started I could not put it down I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I really loved the time spent with Jill. I wasn't surprised when a little love story snuck in there. I loved that part! I can't wait until the next book!! This review was entered for my mom, Pam. I am going to order my audio book version right now!

Princess pulls you in and doesn't let go! I actually saw the characters in my mind and also felt like I went on this roller coaster journey right along with them. I couldn't put it down and am anxiously awaiting book two. PLEASE tell me that there is a second book in the works! I couldn't help but wonder if there weresome actual truths weaved in amongst the story line. I suddenly have a desire to visit the land where this story took place. But I's rather get there in a more traditional way rather that the way Princess went! Truly a great read from a promising new author!
Karen Custer
This book isn't my normal genre of books but I'm so glad that I got it! What a wonderful read! The story line is fantastic and the suspense is insanely good! The characters are well developed and the book leaves you wanting more. I sure hope that there is a Book 2 in the near future because I have so many unanswered questions - Questions I must have answered!!!! Hope this new author continues to grace us with other talents. Well done !!

I went to school with the author, Robin! I was absolutely over the moon when the book arrived. The story line was very different to what I normally read, but I enjoyed it very much. Adored the way Robin built the storyline. And the twist was very interesting. I am soooo looking forward to the second book!! And have just shared the book with my daughter!
