I love this series! I was so glad to hop back into this world and see how everything resolves. These books are like juicy soap operas in book form. Wish this series was continuing but look forward to what McGee will write next.

A fantastic conclusion to one of my favorite series that I've ever read. I love Katharine and how she wrapped up this story overall.

Katharine McGee blessed us American Royals fans with a very satisfying conclusion to a fun series. I was hooked on these books from the opening pages of American Royals, and that never once changed throughout the four books.

Every book in the series has ended with a lot up in the air, if not an outright cliffhanger, and I am really happy that this book wrapped everything up so well. The character growth and relationship development for all of our main characters – Bee, Sam, Nina, and Daphne – were all so well done. Sam and Nina were my favorites from the beginning, and that didn't change, but I am totally impressed at McGee's ability to get me to care about Daphne so much when she was such a villain in the first couple of books.

I loved this journey, and cannot recommend this series enough for fans of romance and YA contemporary. It's such a fun history twist to imagine America with a royal family. The drama, the unforeseen twists and turns, the political maneuverings. I really loved it all.

Of course, the ending is a bit bittersweet for me because I don't want this series to end. I would love to see another book, especially continuing Sam and Nina's journeys, but it doesn't sound like there are any current plans. But, we can hope, right?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Receiving an advanced copy was much appreciated. I believe both existing fans and newcomers will find it equally enjoyable.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to arc review this!

Reign is perfect for someone who loves over-the-top drama and angst. I binged the first two books in the series around the time the second book was published, and absolutely adored them. They are well written, but my taste in books has changed in the past few years and I don't love the way that I used to.

I have really leaned into reading romance books for the past several years, and have a very low tolerance for romantic drama that unfolds for book after book (or on TV!).

So, while the writing is well done and I can see why most people rate this book 4-5 stars, I didn't find it to be very enjoyable.

This was a worthy conclusion to the Washington Family saga. I'm so sad this series is ending but what an ending it is! The "what-if" of this storyline has been fantastic!

This whole series has been a joy, and while I'm sad that it's over, this is an excellent ending. It does a nice job having its own plot while piecing together the future for the characters in a way that feels true to the storylines and individuals.

These books have such a fun light aspect to them (hello love triangles galore!) but there’s also so much complexity to the characters, and I love how the POVs are only from the women in the series. They constantly have to compromise their own wants with duty, family, and social pressure, and getting their inside POVs makes all of their motivations more relatable and confusing and makes even the “villains” sympathetic.

We finally get an answer to Beatrice’s crazy cliffhanger in Rivals, and the consequences of all of that. Daphne finally has Jeff, and a spot as a royal, closer than ever but I think she’s finally realizing that just because she has been taught to do something doesn’t mean she has to go against what she really wants. And Sam is dealing with the consequences of her actions, and how following her heart may not always be the best thing to do, but I’m so proud of how she’s coming into her own and becoming independent in this book! And Nina is Nina-ing as per usual; I really like seeing her away from the royal family more (though maybe closer to another one 😉).

I’m really sad to see this series come to an end, and will definitely be rereading in my future!

I really loved how this story began in the first book of the series, but felt like the books lost some of their charm by the conclusion of the series. Everything felt a bit haphazard and I still felt there were some story lines that did not get their due. I'd probably still recommend, but for me the series steadily went downhill.

I loved this book and this series! It picks right up with where the 3rd book left off and provided a satisfying conclusion. Can't wait to see what McGee. comes up with next

"American Royals IV: Reign" by Katharine McGee is a captivating and dramatic conclusion to the New York Times bestselling American Royals series. Packed with romance, duty, and power struggles, the novel unfolds a riveting tale that keeps readers hooked until the very end.

The story delves into the chaos within America's royal family, with Queen Beatrice in a coma and Princess Samantha missing, presumably having run away with Lord Marshall Davis. The resulting power vacuum places Prince Jefferson on the throne, a situation that some in America welcome, while others resist. McGee skillfully weaves a narrative that explores the intricate dynamics of love, duty, and power in the context of royalty.

The characters are well-developed, each grappling with their own dilemmas and desires. The portrayal of Prince Jefferson, Princess Samantha, and Daphne Deighton adds depth to the storyline, with their relationships and decisions shaping the fate of the royal family. The emotional turmoil and internal conflicts of the characters contribute to the overall richness of the narrative.

McGee's writing style is engaging and adept at building tension. The novel expertly balances the various plotlines, creating a sense of urgency that propels the reader forward. The exploration of love and secrets within the Washington family adds layers to the story, making it not just a tale of royalty but also a complex family drama.

One of the strengths of "Reign" lies in its ability to keep readers guessing about the ultimate fate of the characters and the monarchy itself. The uncertainties surrounding Queen Beatrice's condition, Samantha's disappearance, and the romantic entanglements keep the suspense alive throughout the book.

While the novel provides a satisfying conclusion to the series, it also leaves room for reflection on the themes of love, sacrifice, and the consequences of secrecy. "American Royals IV: Reign" is a four-star read that delivers a compelling mix of romance, intrigue, and royal drama. Katharine McGee skillfully ties up the loose ends of the series, providing fans with a satisfying and memorable conclusion to the American Royals saga.

I'm glad this is the last book in the series, because it starts to feel like we're recycling plots. It kind of feels like book three undid everything in book one and two and then book four redid it. That being said, I have enjoyed the series over all.

This book did me the growth in Daphne that I wanted to see as well as everyone realizing Jefferson was a terrible person to the women in his lives.

Another great read by this author. I love the continuation of the Washington family saga and the story's conclusion. Lots of intrigue, romance, duty, and decisions are made that affect the lives of the each of the Washington family members. Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

⭐️⭐️⭐ Reign (American Royals #4) by Katharine McGee

So based on how this book ended, this series is over. I enjoyed reading about Bea, Sam, Jeff, Daphne, and Nina throughout these four books. But I must say that I’m glad it’s over.

This fourth book wrapped up the drama and excitement that is the Washington family, the royal family of the United States. Without spoiling anything, everything is wrapped up nicely in the end and HEA’s for everyone -- except one person.

This book was filled with a bit of mystery, a bit of discovery, a bit of growing up, and a bit of love. (I found myself rooting for a couple of unlikely pairs.)

Overall this was a decent ending to a series. Well-done and perfect for young adult (and adult) romance readers, especially those who like The Selection Series.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this title for review.

A good conclusion to this story. I loved the first half of this one but then it got kinda boring for me in the end. Still love the concept of this one though.

I cannot get enough of this series!! The idea of royalty in America is fascinating and I love that we get a small view of what it could look like, I’m so sad this series is ending but what a way to go out.

If you are a fan of Princess Diaries 2, this book is for you.

I am so glad we got to go back to the land of American Royals for more than a duology. I think some characters deserved a happier ending, but I'm heartened to have gone on the journey with them.

Such a thrilling conclusion to this series! I loved this series so much, so happy this ended up turning into a quartet!

After reading the other three books earlier this year, I was super excited to read this one! I felt like this was the perfect way to wrap up the series. The drama in the American Royals always gets me. It is perfectly written. I was highly entertained the entire time. I loved the cameos that characters from previous books made. In my opinion, everyone's storylines ended exactly how they should. Sad the series is over, but it was perfect and I hope one day they do a television adaptation of it!

I cannot get enough of this YA series! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced copy of American Royals IV: Reign.
