A new suitor. A shocking discovery.
Margaretha has always been a romantic, and hopes her newest suitor, Lord Claybrook, is destined to be her one true love. But then an injured man is brought to the castle, claiming to be an English lord who was left for dead by Claybrook's men. She convinces herself "Lord Colin" is just an addled stranger, until Colin retrieves an heirloom she lost in a well and asks her to spy on Claybrook as repayment. Margaretha knows she could never be a spy---not only does she tend to talk too much, she's sure Colin is completely wrong about her potential betrothed. But she soon discovers her romantic notions may have been clouding her judgment about not only Colin but Claybrook as well. She soon finds herself running for her life--and it may be up to her to save her father and her family from one man's wicked plot.

My thoughts:
The Princess Spy was another great story by Melanie Dickerson! I really enjoyed the characters and fairy tale aspect. I also liked the danger of trying to stop Claybrook from his evil plans -- definitely added some suspenseful moments.
I will say that the story seemed a little predictable (almost like I had read it before, even though I hadn't), but that didn't hinder my enjoyment at all, really, and I found it a fun read that I was in the mood to read.
All in all, The Princess Spy is a great read if you are looking for a fun, easy read. It's clean and I think younger readers will especially enjoy it, but adults can too.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. ~ Philippians 4:8
