Molly Snow's third installment in the BeSwitched series picks up right where BeSwitched Witch left off--with Surla and Jax transported to France in the 1730. Surla is back in her cat form, but she still has feelings for Jax that must be resolved. In addition to her own romantic troubles, Surla must step in to help insure that Jax's family line continues as it should. Prince Nicholas Morreau and a maid named Noella are not falling in love like they are supposed to so our feline heroine must become BeSwitched with Noella and woo the Prince. Blocking her efforts are an evil witch named Esme and Sinclair, a member of the King's council.Finding out about Jax's heritage and Surla's past added a lot more dimension to the characters as we watch them grow and develop throughout the story. Cathy fans will be disappointed that she is not in this novel, but I am sure she will pop back up as the series continues. New villains accompany the new setting, and Esme and Sinclair are wonderfully written.Snow keeps the playful, fun tone found in the previous BeSwitched stories, but you also see her writing develop in Royally BeSwitched. Any middle grade or young adult reader will enjoy this installment of the series.I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
