The Kings of Charleston (The Kings of Charleston #1) by Kat H Clayton

Casper Whitley is forced to move to Charleston, South Carolina where she’ll be the new kid her senior year of high school.

After Casper’s life is threatened, someone is forced to tell the truth about her parents, the Romans and Kythera’s motives for her being in Charleston. Once the truth is revealed, she must decide whether to protect her family and Kythera’s secrets or walk away from everything she has ever known.

It took me a while to get into The Kings of Charleston, but once I did, I was addicted. Casper is not your typical heiress. She could do without the clothes and the parties and the expensive cars as long as she still has her horses. The Kentucky farm and the horses are all that really matter. So when her father decides to move the family to Charleston, South Carolina, Casper doesn't know what to do. She's leaving everything she's ever known behind in Lexington, Kentucky.

When Casper meets Cal, sparks fly. I enjoyed them as a couple. The romance didn't feel forced or fast. Casper's incessant Twilight references did get on my nerve (those of you who read my review of Twilight on Monday know why).

Mystery, intrigue, and tension can be found in plentiful amounts in this book. From the moment I saw the name, I wanted to know what Kythera was. I was right there with Casper as she investigated every clue she could find. I loved it!
