There are no happy endings for the Princesses of Chaminade High in this short, twisty tale of teenage murder games by the New York Times bestselling author of The School for Good and Evil series.

The victims are the most popular girls in school, each murdered and arranged in a grim fairy-tale tableau. To find the killer, rookie detective Callum Pederson has gone undercover where the Princes hold court. He’s found enough secrets among the bros to bring them in for questioning - but he could very well get lost in the games the Princes play.

The Princess Game is part of Faraway, a collection of retold fairy tales that take the happily-ever-after in daring new directions. Whether read or listened to in one sitting, prepare to be charmed, moved, enlightened, and frightened all over again.

Perfect ending

THE PRINCESS GAME by Soman Chainani is also a dark story, and with a terrific full cast narration, it keeps you engaged. It’s in essence a police procedural, and readers progressively get a wider and wider view of the goings-on at Chaminade High and the intricacies and high price of being part of the school’s deadly cliques. The story has solidly mature YA content with a focus on hookups, and it seems every Prince has a hurt pride motive to kill a Princess. Perfect ending.

The princess game is dangerous!

This modern retelling of a fairy tale doubles as a murder story and is not apt for little children

Clever, but a little stilted

the story held my interest, but I felt there were instances where the situations were very contrived. It's not bad, but it's not great, either.

Who wants be a Princess anyway?

I enjoyed this story too much. Highschool - a scene of death to five (and then six) young girls dubbed Princesses due to the various and hideous ways they are killed. The Princes, aka. the Jocks, of the school are the prime suspects. An aging cop and a new police cadet are on the case with no viable leads, but plenty of suspects except for one problem: they all have alibis. It turns into 'he said, she said' and it really is quite fast paced for even an hour of time. Definitely worth it.

fun story

I bought this book because I love the author. This was different from the previous books, but it was a lot of fun. It is short so you can listen to it in one setting.

Interesting. A hmmm story.

The Narrators were excellent. The plot of the story kept you entertained. Although some of the narration was needed to be eliminated. It did help, but if storyline was written different it would bfc have sounded better. This book was entertaining.

Suspenseful Princess Murders at a High School

So not what I was expecting. It was like 21 Jump Street meets 90210 with Princes. Very suspenseful and definitely keeps your attention. The narration with the many different actors is great!

interesting concept!

I am enjoying this. the concept is really interesting and I am looking forward to see where it is going.

Decent story.

Glad it was short. Foreseen twist at the end, but could have been told a little better.

Loved It!

I love the mystery, intrigue, and the detective feel, 10 out of 10 for me
