She did it in Quest of the Hart and she’s done it again in Charmed Memories. Mary has a way of taking what a reader thinks is going to be a simple, fun story and turning it into a life lesson. I thought, “There’s no way she’s going to be able to top Quest of the Hart. So I was very nervous going into Charmed Memories. It was truly a story of growth and empowerment for teen girls. I thought it reached beyond the boundaries of being just another “young adult novel” in a pile of books. Where to start? I have to say, I absolutely loved, LOVED, Mary’s debut Quest of the Hart. Buried in Bri's memories are deadly secrets someone wants kept from the light of day, and learning who she is may cost more than either is willing to pay. Bri has no memory of her past, and the princess wasn't the only girl who disappeared from the ship.ĭesperate to prove Bri is his princess, Trevor unwittingly places the two of them in grave danger.

Prince Trevor has always placed duty to his kingdom above the desires of his own heart. I received no monetary compensation, and all comments are subjective and mine alone.
