Book two did not disappoint! I love to drop in a book off my normal genres to mix and lighten it up and this was super cute! Absolutely worth the read!

I will not be giving feedback on this title, because I was offered this book by the publisher, but didn't realize it's a sequel. Entirely my fault, but yeah...oops.

"Heir Apparently" is a total winner, picking up right where the first book left off. Wren Wheeler's journey post-apocalypse takes a crazy turn as she deals with her accidental royal marriage and ends up stuck on a tropical island with Theo. The character development is top-notch, especially how they handle their relationship. The supporting cast, including Theo's siblings and Wren's friends, adds so much depth and humor. The mix of romance, adventure, and royal drama is just perfect. "Heir Apparently" is a must-read for anyone looking for a thrilling, heartwarming story with a royal twist.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press | Wednesday Books for allowing me to read a copy of this E-ARC in exchange for an honest review. All the views and opinions in this review are purely my own and not associated with any brand.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Kara McDowell for writing this book. The Prince and the Apocalypse was my favorite book from 2023. I was praying there would be a follow up and I'm so glad to see there was. This book doesn't have the same sense of adventure as the first book but it still has the fun chemistry that we loved from the first book. The characters are still great! The writing is well done! The story is fun! I'm so excited to get this book in physical copy when it comes out!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this sequel! This was just as much fun as the first book, although you have to suspend disbelief for the ways they break Royal protocol and get away with it 😂. All the royals on one plane? They would never! As with the first book, this is perfect for fans of The Royal We and the royals in general. Quick and fun and perfect for summer!

I had hoped that this book would be better than the first, which I trudged through and barely finished. Unfortunately, I actually ended up liking this one even less! I really struggled with the strange back-and-forth that the book had throughout. It didn't feel cohesive at all, and it left me sitting there like "What in the world did I just read?"

I don't particularly recommend this book to anyone who wasn't a fan of the first one, and I'd be hesitant to recommend it to anyone who *did* enjoy the first one.

As always, my thanks to NetGalley for allowing me the access to this Arc.

I really liked Prince and the Apocalypse and have been so excited for this follow up. The covers are great. The premise is really fun. But this second book fell flat for me. It felt like a lot packed into a book. The plane crashes. The events on the island. The events when the get off the island. It felt like every chapter brought in something new so when I got to the end, I was kind of exhausted. I am glad I read it and also glad to see things wrapped up.

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was a fun beach read. Don't hesitate to pick it up for the summer!

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and author for the copy of this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

When THE PRINCE & THE APOCALYPSE ended, it was one of the moments where I wanted to throw a book so bad, but I would never! I’ve been not so patiently waiting for HEIR, APPARENTLY by Kara McDowell, and I was not let down. Theo and Wren are back with Comet the Apocalypse Dog and new friends for an adventure I did not expect, but I could not stop reading. This is a duology that makes me so happy, and I know I will reread it when I need feelings and laughter.

These characters have my heart, my tears, and many of my laughs. I know the duology is done, but I would not complain if McDowell said, “Hey readers, how about more books about our friends?” I would be the first in line!

You want to think that a series with book one about the apocalypse and book two about a plane crash plus part of the royal family would be ridiculous. Then again, look at the world we live in? At least these books give us a cute dog!

Thanks, Wednesday Books and Netgalley, for the arc!

I FLEW through this book. I stayed up late to finish it and loved it. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting this story to turn into. The plot had me turning page after page. The ending had unexpected endings without being predictable. The last second twist at the end actually caught me off guard. The characters are just SO likable and relatable. I’m sad this is a duology, but would honestly love a story from the perspective of Victoria that’s set after this story had ended.

I'm so glad I got to read an advanced copy of this, because with the cliffhanger from book one, I didn't know how much longer I could wait for book two! I don't want to give too much away with my review - a lot happens in this book that goes beyond the plane crash. If you're a fan of adventure books with pining, romance, and high stakes, then this one is for you.

I couldn't finish this book. I just found it jumpy and very back and forth. This book was just not it for me. Thank you to the publisher and net gallery for a e-ARC of this novel.

While I tried to read this book, I did not realize it was the second in the series. I usually love YA but when I went back to read the first, I just couldn't get into it. The storyline felt too all over the place and too much. I did end up dnfing the first book at 25% and will not be reading this book. Thank you for the opportunity.

Heir apparently was a very cute book, and funny as well. I really liked the idea that it was life after a comet was to hit Earth, and absolutely nothing happened from the change. I also liked the main characters, and their dynamic. It’s funny, yet fitting for the age they are supposed to be. I did not like the fact that this book was really detailed on little things that would not matter at the end.

Heir Apparently by Kara McDowell is a delightfully fun sequel .

Our leading lady has survived the near apocalypse and found herself accidentally married to royalty . This entertaining premise builds on the zany fun of book one while revisiting and growing the characters that we have already come to love .

* This title is a direct sequel and best read/enjoyed by those who’ve already read the prince and the apocalypse

4 out of 5 stars - if you ask me, I'll tell you to read it.

A completely unrealistic, yet fun book. I read it quickly and had fun with the twists and turns.

I loved the story, the world building and meeting the different characters. I felt completely immersed in the story and couldn't stop reading it.

"Heir Apparently" by Kara McDowell introduces freshman Wren Wheeler, whose already stressful life takes a wild turn when she discovers she's accidentally married to the King of England, Theo. Despite surviving a near-apocalypse over the summer, Wren can't shake her feelings for Theo, especially when he takes her dog and sparks a chemistry-fueled reunion caught by the paparazzi. Now under the royal spotlight, Wren must fly back to London with Theo, accompanied by friends and family. However, their journey takes a dangerous turn when their plane crashes on a tropical island, forcing them to band together to survive against the odds. Amidst the chaos, Wren and Theo must confront their feelings for each other and decide if their future holds heartbreak or happily ever after. McDowell's novel is a thrilling blend of romance, adventure, and self-discovery that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.

This was such a great follow up! I am addicted to the voice and the way that MacDowell tells the story. It’s fun and witty and just keeps me reading. I had not read anything by this author before reading the series and I’m so happy that the first book wasn’t just a one off. She’s absolutely on my radar now for everything else as well !
