Synopsis:
A princess must find her place in a reborn world.

She flees on her wedding day.

She steals ancient documents from the Chancellor's secret collection.

She is pursued by bounty hunters sent by her own father.

She is Princess Lia, seventeen, First Daughter of the House of Morrighan.

The Kingdom of Morrighan is steeped in tradition and the stories of a bygone world, but some traditions Lia can't abide. Like having to marry someone she's never met to secure a political alliance.

Fed up and ready for a new life, Lia flees to a distant village on the morning of her wedding. She settles in among the common folk, intrigued when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive—and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deceptions swirl and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets—secrets that may unravel her world—even as she feels herself falling in love.

Today was the day a thousand dreams would die and a single dream would be born. 

- Princess With a Hecka Long Name AKA Lia, Kiss of Deception, pg. 1

So sad to say that it didn't really live up to my expectations. The book started out great, but then sloped slightly downhill onwards? 

I liked Lia enough. She's tough, independent, and isn't going to back down for anyone anytime soon! Who doesn't like a strong heroine :) 

The love interests, sad to say, were kiiind of....... stupid. *well that escalated quickly* xD

One assassin, and one prince. We don't know who is who until like 60% through, and though that might have been creative, it didn't work for me since I guessed wrong and that ruined both the characters for the rest of the book. -.- Like, I've never read anything that did this before, so all throughout the book, I thought I missed something in the description and went with stereotypes to determine their identities. Mistaaaakeeee much? I'll have to reread it with the right set of mind.

And, the way these two guys met each other was ehhhh, and too much of a coincidence. So Lia fled the castle and is now working at a bar, right? (*points up to synopsis*)

So before going in the bar, the prince (assassin?) sees the assassin (prince? ..you could tell how confused I was) near a water fountain. He goes like "Hey, travelling alone draws more attention, no? There's another lonely looking gentleman! Imma go and get him a drink so I can blend in. They have nooo idea who the other person is. And they both promptly fall in love with the princess after she serves them drinks. 

Me: Well that was fast.. she sure draws men easily 0.o

They both want to be near her (For their personal purposes) so they become bestie roomies! They never do anything and never leave! They always help out at the inn and never run out of money! And they both like Lia! Well that's not weird at aaalllll *nods slowly* She should be more watchful.. like they could be creeps! But she also fell in love quite quick *cries with frustration* 

The one thing I liked though was that Lia isn't like a lot of heroines; she doesn't "love both of them and can't choose which one she likes better (because men are totally like sweets you select in a store *rolls eyes*)." She only likes one dude, and thinks the other one is just "a really nice person." 

With the exception that she flirts with the other guy sometimes to gain attention of the person she likes ... Meh. At least it isn't a triangle. I've been avoiding those kind of books.

Throughout this whole thing, a very bored Cassie is sitting there half asleep like WHY ISN'T THE ASSASSIN ASSASSINATING?! Honestly. If the assassin (whichever one that was) fell for her within a minute, where's the action gonna beeee? :((

Conclusion: The action did not come until 70%. (and STILL the assassin did not do anything; that came from the barbarians and other assassins.)

So what was happening during those 350 (i'm a math GENIUS. BOW DOWN TO ME) pages? 

Ask someone else *facepalm* I have no clue.

I did know that the setting did not change at all, and that there was this scene thing about a scroll... I think that was quite important...  and... um.. oh yeah Lia's poor brother visited her and delivered some news ( :( ). Nothing particularly much. I think the book could have been cut down in volume a lot. 

I mean okay, I may be exaggerating a bit (it wasn't that slow, but for ME personally it felt like forever), but I expected awesome fight scenes and ogres (on second thought; nah) or something! Not my faultt.....I just expected different things to happen.

I liked the magical element the author put in the story though! It reminded me of ToG a lot. Even if a bit confusing, i'm definitely going to pick up the sequel to see what happens on that note. 

Conclusion:

An okay fantasy book, lopsided polygon romance, weird love interests with an identity crisis, and slow progress in storyline. Overhyped. Sorry :P 

Thanks Rachel for recommending this to mee! (you should have seen her gushing about this xD Literally like:

Omg Cass! This is awesome! 100 pages left! *disappears off camera for an hour*

*resurfaces* Omg Cass I finished the book! Read it! Read it! *beam*)  

You can read her lovely contrasting review: Here: and decide if you want to read it yourself. 

Choose wisely, my minions. *fades into shadows*

Trailer Reveal – Whatever Life Throws At You by Julie Cross

We are so excited to bring you the Trailer Reveal for Julie Cross' WHATEVER LIFE THROWS AT YOU! WHATEVER LIFE THROWS AT YOU is a YA contemporary romance published by Entangled Teen, and is releasing on October 7th!!

About WHATEVER LIFE THROWS AT YOU:

Life loves a good curveball… Seventeen-year-old Annie Lucas is too young to remember her dad’s glory days as a pitcher for the Yankees. So when her father is offered a coaching position with the Kansas City Royals, Annie is intrigued to see the baseball side of her dad. Of course, knowing he’ll be a mentor to hot young rookie pitcher, Jason Brody, certainly makes it more enticing.

After an awkward first meeting with “Brody” involving very little clothing and a much-too-personal locker room interview, Annie’s convinced she knows Brody’s type: arrogant, self-involved, bossy. As her dad grows closer to the pitching phenom, the friction between Brody and Annie increases. But when opening day arrives and it looks like both her dad and Brody may lose their dream jobs, Annie steps up and offers support. She and Brody call a truce that grows into friendship—and beyond.

Falling for a rising star who’s quickly reaching a level that involves rabid female fans is not what Annie would call smart, except suddenly she’s getting hints that maybe this crush isn’t one-sided after all. Could someone like Brody actually fall for a girl like her?

Belle: *cough* I hate that last line....sooo cliché and bleeh. But as a whole this book sounds pretty interesting so I'll be lenient :P Plus, that cover is pretty cutesy *grins* That trailer tho o.O It's not a fav xD

Spearwood Academy Two: Episodes 6–10 by A.S. Oren

Spearwood Academy Two: Episodes 6-10 by A.S. Oren
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Current Rating on Goodreads: 4.14 of 5 stars
Pages: 93
Synopsis (on Goodreads):

Avalon is the first female of her kind in centuries. She is a dragon shapeshifter, who is painfully cursed to turn into her dragon form every night. Spearwood Academy has the answers to her questions, but there is just one problem, up until she came along it was an all boy school. How ever will this Harry Potter geek, Whovian and Nerdfighter wade through the waters of testosterone, greed and even love? 

An omnibus of episodes 6-10. Corruption rains down on Spearwood Academy.

*****I recieved a free copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.*****

Okay, so V2 starts of exactly where V1 ended. And if you're wondering, these volumes aren't written like 'novels'. Rather, almost like TV episodes ^^ It's pretty funny because I feel like I'm watching TV, except I'm reading it lol!

Anyhoo, the first thing I wanted to do when I finished reading was gloat :P Because I totallyy guessed Amr and Avvii's connection from the start! *triumphant smirk* Of course, I'm can't say anything about it tho *zips lips* That would be a spoiler after all hehe!

The constant mention of shows and fan fiction was a bit weird for me, since I didn't understand half of the puns or inside jokes, but whatever *shrugs*

Also it's interesting that the Royals aren't actually on top of the pecking order ^^ I guess they're in as much of a jam as everyone else......they just get fancy clothes and a let's-boss-people-around right as a bonus XP
And then you have the Ancients, whom I can't seem to figure out if they're 'good' or 'bad'......apparently they have different vibes? *cocks head* I'm assuming that means that some have better intentions than others......

And the heat thing was hilarous....in a creepy kinda way XDD It was also quite dramatised in a way that almost reminded me of Rebel Belle ^^ Same with the memory thing, it was really weird and dramatic....I'm not sure how I feel about it all, but I'll just roll with it for now I guess *shrugs*

Avalon/Avvi is as strong as she was in V1, which I'm grateful for lol! Only problem is I feel a bit disconnected from her, but overall she's pretty cool.
Then you have the boys....and duudee is there many of them or what! What I don't get is Avalon has gotten tingles and 'electricity' *cough* with half of them when she happens to brush fingers or something silly like that *quirks brow* How is this even possible? o.O Stick to a tops of 2 love interests, girl! *facepalm* This is like, multiple puppy love at once *wags finger at Avvi*
You have Dante the flirt, Horace the calm one (generally), Amr the brotherly one *sly grin*, Triton my fav *winks*, Lusk the bully (who's not so bully-ish anymore yaay!), Bullock the rude tutor and Kearn the servant (I don't really care for him honestly)
And then you have the Royals! Paden is a total creepo o.O Seriously, I thought he'd give up, but nooo he's still trying to get Avvi to marry him *cracks up* Poor guy. Mind you, he seems to be calming down towards the end of V2, so mayhap he'll be tolerable after all XDD
And of course Maverick the mysterious one. By mysterious, I mean, he's a confusing character. He was Avalon's childhood bully when she was in school, and then he randomly pops up at Spearwood Academy, and it turns out, not only is he a dragon, but he's a Royal and Paden's brother. And then icing on the cake, he apologises repeatedly for bullying her and says that he was there to protect her? Very confusing.

Also, I happened on Oren's wordpress website (here), and I know the competition related to Spearwood Boys is now finished, but out of curiosity, I searched up the songs, and I'm sad to say I have no idea which boys half of the songs are connected to XD What I'm interested in, tho, is that most of the songs seem to suggest that the boys have feelings for Avalon that we don't know about just by reading V1 and V2, feelings that aren't platonic no less, so now I'm quite intrigued, and can't wait for the release of Spearwood Boys, because I'm certainly interested in knowing the inner workings of the boys' minds, especially since I now know of their apparent hidden feelings :P

While some things that happened in V2 were quite outlandish, it is a good indie story and continuation of V1, and if you want to read something that's just sheer fun and ridiculousness, then this is your material ;)
Again I thank A.S. Oren for giving me the opportunity to read this!
My review of V1 can be found on the blog: here

3 stars!

THE FINE ART OF PRETENDING Synopsis:

According to the guys at Fairfield Academy, there are two types of girls: the kind you hook up with, and the kind you're friends with. Seventeen-year-old Alyssa Reed is the second type. And she hates it. With just one year left to change her rank, she devises a plan to become the first type by homecoming, and she sets her sights on the perfect date—Justin Carter, Fairfield Academy’s biggest hottie and most notorious player. With 57 days until the dance, Aly launches Operation Sex Appeal and sheds her tomboy image. The only thing left is for Justin actually to notice her. Enter best friend Brandon Taylor, the school’s second biggest hottie, and now Aly’s pretend boyfriend. With his help, elevating from “funny friend” to “tempting vixen” is only a matter of time. But when everything goes according to plan, the inevitable “break up” leaves their friendship in shambles, and Aly and Brandon with feelings they can’t explain. And the fake couple discovers pretending can sometimes cost you the one thing you never expected to want.

EXCERPT:

An exhale of breath leaves Brandon’s lips, almost like a laugh, and he scoots closer to me on the blanket. I twist my legs under myself, sitting tall as I face him. He cups my chin and tilts it toward him, drowning me in the now dark-green depths of his eyes, the cologne I gave him for his birthday filling my head. It’s woodsy and yummy and I always loved how it smelled on the store testers, but on Brandon, it’s even sexier.

My eyes flutter closed, and I inhale again, this time slowly. Goose bumps prickle my arms, and my head gets fuzzy. Brandon slides his hand down the column of my neck and brings the other up, threading his fingers through the hair at my nape. His breath fans across my cheek, and everything south of my bellybutton squeezes tight. When his mouth first meets mine, it’s hesitant, questioning. But as I move my lips with his, he quickly grows bolder, coaxing them apart.

Desire, pure and raw, electrifies my veins as his tongue sweeps my mouth. A whimpering sound springs from my chest, and instinctively, I wrap my arms around his neck, tugging him closer. Needing more. My teeth graze his full bottom lip, and I pull it, sucking on it gently. He moans and knots his fingers in my hair, and a thrill dances down my back. Brandon is an amazing kisser, just as I knew he would be. I have no control over my body’s reactions. I lose myself in his lips, his tongue, and his strong arms, forgetting time and space and even my surroundings—until Gabi’s snicker brings reality crashing around us, reminding me we have an audience. And that I’m kissing Brandon. We break apart, out of breath, and stare into each other’s eyes. That was unexpected.

Belle: Hmmm....*eyes glaze over* I've actually read one of Harris's YA books called My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century, and I'm going to be putting up the review soon! She's a pretty good YA writer, and I can't wait to read this one, especially since it's her first shot at proper contemporary YA.....and by proper I mean, no time travel ;)

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

The Kite Runner
by
Khaled Hosseini

Stand Alone.
Page Count: 401

My Rating: ★★★★★ Brilliant!
Current Average Rating on Goodreads: 4.21

Synopsis:
“It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime." 
Amir is the son of a wealthy Kabul merchant, a member of the ruling caste of Pashums. Hassan, his servant and constant companion, is a Hazara, a despised and impoverished caste. Their uncommon bond is torn by Amir's choice to abandon his friend amidst the increasing ethnic, religious, and political tensions of the dying years of the Afghan monarchy, wrenching them far apart. But so strong is the bond between the two boys that Amir journeys back to a distant world, to try to right past wrongs against the only true friend he ever had.

The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies.

A sweeping story of family, love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of the history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful novel that has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic.

Hassan:
FOR YOU, A THOUSAND TIMES OVER!

Thissss.. was an hjhfdxgfgvbkj (speechless) book.
Honestly, I'm becoming more pulled towards books with classic-y feelings lately, and stories like these are the reason why. It's just so timeless and magical!

First, I was skeptical about this because I haven't read much historical fiction, plus it didn't really help that everytime I went to school, my friend was like 'Oh my gosh Cassie, that is such a weird and inappropriate book!'

*facepalm*

Yes it was a bit inappropriate, no it wasn't weird. Now we got that sorted out, moving on.

 It's centred around Afghanistan, which I am quite sad so say I have no clue about it's history :/ *cough*Notmyfault..wellmaybebutshhh

The time period this book goes through is reaaaally extensive. Amir is telling us about his story, and it begins with his 13 year old self, and we're still with him when he's like 34 or something 0.o Oldd! I haven't read many stories where the characters are full grown adults! Woah.
(If you're wondering, I checked and no it isn't YA. Apparently it's an adult book.. partly because Amir ain't no young adult and there are some mature themes.)

 There is SO much character development with Amir as we literally live through most his life. It was seriously wacky XD But I got attached with all the people, (Hassan<3) and although some of them didn't get a happy ever after..... nothing seemed rushed and random.

If you see it one way, there really wasn't a definite plot line either. It was like the story just went ooon and ooon right until Amir forgave himself (kind of).. and that's when it finally stopped. Took long enough :P

Sounds strange? A bit maybe. But give it a go. :)

We could also see how America and Afghanistan contrasted back then. And how the poor and rich differed; how people in opposite classes considered each other, and just general human things. Enlightening :0 Dun dun dun!

Bottom Line:
Beautiful book, characters you live through hardships with. Tis truly a powerful impacting book that will put in views of people you've never really considered. Highly recommendedd!

Wowzers short review.
But it really seems like i'm reading nothing but amazing books these days, no?! :D *is proud*

Biggest Flirts by Jennifer Echols

Biggest Flirts by Jennifer Echols
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Current Rating on Goodreads: 3.78 of 5 stars
Pages: 336
Synopsis (via Goodreads):

Tia and Will’s lives get flipped upside down when they’re voted Yearbook’s Biggest Flirts in this sassy novel from the author of Endless Summer and The One That I Want.

Tia just wants to have fun. She’s worked hard to earn her reputation as the life of the party, and she’s ready for a carefree senior year of hanging out with friends and hooking up with cute boys. And her first order of business? New guy Will. She can’t get enough of his Midwestern accent and laidback swagger. 

As the sparks start to fly, Will wants to get serious. Tia’s seen how caring too much has left her sisters heartbroken, and she isn’t interested in commitment. But pushing Will away drives him into the arms of another girl. Tia tells herself it’s no big deal…until the yearbook elections are announced. Getting voted Biggest Flirts with Will is, well, awkward. They may just be friends, but their chemistry is beginning to jeopardize Will’s new relationship—and causing Tia to reconsider her true feelings. What started as a lighthearted fling is about to get very complicated…

You see, there were parts that I absolutely LOVEDDD. But then most of the time I wanted to claw Tia's eyes out and bash her head into the wall! *hisses* She was just so fixated and scared that she did practically everything wrong :/
This book is sooo wrong! XD Tia sobs when she accidentally does well in sumfin *facepalm* And she wants Will all to herself but refuses to date him! And Will is an introverted cosmic flirter.......but only with her? o.O The flirter part, obvs :P And so he half-dates the straight-A dibby dobber Angelica, who I feel obliged to hate because I'm reading in Tia's POV xD but still flirts with Tia, and then gets mad at her everytime someone comments on their flirting *rolls eyes* #riddonkculous
But it was a seriously hilariousssss read XPP

I couldn't help becoming attached to the characters in the book because they were so flawed in their own ways that I wanted, needed, to see them truly recognise their mistakes and finally succeed. I really hope that Tia learns from and retains the life lessons she gained in the book.

There was also a serious tone to the novel. The underlying themes were quite relevant to youths in problematic circumstances and showed that mind sets cemented at a young age are quite hard to break, but you can get there and it is always possible if you put the effort in. Yesssss I'm talking about Tia XD *snorts*

So yeaaaahhh. Half the time I wanted to throw the book at the wall and yet as the story concluded, I couldn't help smiling broadly, because the characters had grown so much from the beginning, and it was such a privilege to read.......even if they're technically just charries written up on paper, in fact, especially that they're written up on paper; there's just something so magical about it and the thoughts of the author really emanate through.

I was a teensy bit peeved that we don't know for certain what happened with Twill........yeessssss my ship name ;P But I suppose the open ending was more fitting of the book *pouts* I just wish we'd been given concrete proof *sad sigh* Tho good newsss! There are more books in the series (even though they're not centred on Tia and Will *sadface*) so in any luck we'll still hear more of them xD

I wasn't sure how many stars to give Biggest Flirts, but in the end I decided to go with 3 stars :P

P.s. Aaand, leaving you with a parting gift *winks*
“Ms. Nakamoto called through the microphone, “Mr. Matthews, get off Ms. Cruz. I’m starting to sound like a broken record.”
Down the line of snare drums, Jimmy tapped his watch and said, “Seven minutes.”
*busts out laughing* I just loved that xDD

Reluctant Prince Goodreads

Exclusive Excerpt:

Jackson clutched the stone wall of his chamber and gasped for air. What had just happened? He had returned to Cymmera, of that he was certain, but how? He hadn’t accessed the gateway. At least he didn’t remember opening it.

A vision of her assailed him, beat at him, reminded him that he’d failed. Oh, man. He was in trouble.

He pushed away from the wall. Images of his target taunted him. He shoved a chair aside and tore through the pictures scattered across the table in a desperate search for salvation. There. He pulled the shot from the mess but found only condemnation.

The long blond hair flowing behind her in the snapshot had not been visible to him, but there was no mistaking the deep blue of her eyes.
The pounding of a fist against the heavy wood door released him from whatever spell she’d cast. “Jackson.” Another loud thud punctuated his name. He struggled to get his bearings, tried to slow the racing of his heart. “Yeah, one minute.”
“Now. Your father wants to see you, immediately.” Kai, his father’s most trusted warrior. He was in more trouble than he’d originally thought. Was it possible the king would sentence him to death for ignoring a direct order? Surely not without offering him a fair trial, or at least granting him the opportunity to explain. But what could he say? What explanation could there be for failing to deliver the girl? None.

“I won’t knock again.” The warrior would soon break down the door and drag him before the throne. He crumpled the offending photo, the evidence of his disgrace, into a ball. Instead of tossing it in the trash as he’d intended, he shoved it into the small leather satchel he wore at his waist. With a deep breath, he released the latch and pulled open the door.

“Come.” Kai turned his back on him and strode purposefully down the corridor, their footfalls echoing through the silence of accusation. The thought of escape taunted him, but he would never make it out of the castle. He had only recently completed his warrior training under Kai’s watch and would be no match for the seasoned soldier. Besides, Kai was a stickler for the rules. If he tried to run, the warrior would surely take him down, protégé or not.
