Heir, Apparently picks up right where The Prince & The Apocalypse left off. I am so glad there is a sequel! I was very curious how the story would continue at the end of book one. While the imminent threat of worldwide destruction is no longer, danger seems to follow Wren and Theo. When they are reunited against the palace’s wishes, neither of them are prepared for another life-threatening disaster binding them together. As they fight to survive on an isolated tropical island with the clock ticking, will Wren get the answers she’s looking for? 

Heir, Apparently is a fast-paced and fun YA contemporary. Kara McDowell strikes an excellent balance of adventure, rising stakes, and Wren finally getting answers. Theo and Wren’s journey during the apocalypse did not come without a price, which initially forces Theo to maintain his distance. Meanwhile, Wren must decide how much further into the royal mess she wants to get. Wren and Theo have a sweet connection that deepens as they are forced to work together to survive on the island. The supporting characters was great and includes Theo’s siblings, Wren’s sister and friend, and of course Comet the dog. I’m curious if there will be more adventures in this series!

Thank you to Kara McDowell, Wednesday Books, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
