I was his and he was mine, and no conspiracy or scheme of kingdoms had a fraction of the power that surged between us. —Lia

The premise of this sequel is so similar to that of The Heart of Betrayal. It's like Princess Lia and The Assassin warped to a science fiction world. xD

Sometimes, there is value in keeping your mouth shut. #AngryAtMonty

Every breath, every step I've taken has been for our future together. —Rafe

If this were the last chapter of the book, I would already be happy. :)

Something Akos had said was working its way through me: that the thing I was did not have to be permanent. —Cyra

Looking at the bright side, at least this book doesn't have instalove. ^^

Blackmail is aggravating in normal circumstances, but far worse when it's coming from a younger sister. —Monty

To those of you who have younger sisters, is this true? Hahaha. I'm loving this book already. xD

Whew, another early plot twist! This concluding novel is turning out to be full of surprises (which are not necessarily delightful)! xD

Wow, how the heck are you still alive after being stabbed twice in the gut? #EarlyPlotTwist

If we spend too much time reliving the past, it gets us nowhere. —Rafe

I love the beautiful thickness of this book. Plus, it smells so good! xD

Good evening, booknerds!

If you're interested in reading It Started with Goodbye (a contemporary retelling of Cinderella), I encourage you to check out my written interview with the author. :D Happy reading!

Joking = okay, right? Maybe she really just didn't care about jerks on the Internet. —Kyle

Seriously bro. You should know that when a girl tells you she's "okay," she usually means otherwise. :l #Frustrated

The minute he set foot on that stage, he'd be legitimately famous. And I'd be left behind forever. —Rachel

This book is constantly teaching me that patience is a virtue. Long chapters really aren't my cup of tea. :3

I hate cyber bullies. Please leave Rachel alone. All she did was take a picture of her crush, for crying out loud. No need to be so harsh and petty.

Dear booknerds,
If you're eager to read The Love Interest by Cale Dietrich, then I strongly recommend that you check out my written/blog interview with him. I hope that you will also enjoy his book, which he describes as "unapologetically gay." Tee-hee. Happy reading! :)

How could I have missed the turmoil that simmered just below her surface? How could she have missed mine? —Declan (aka The Dark)

This book reminds me of Pride and Prejudice, in that it is also an attack/commentary on our tendency to be judgmental. However, this book is much more melancholic.

It's amazing how Lia can humiliate the men around her with a simple turn of phrase. #Burn

I don't even know you, but I feel like I understand you. I feel like you understand me. And that's what I like so much about it. —Juliet (aka Cemetery Girl)

It's funny how this book can be so dark and cute at the same time. :3

I wonder why weddings are always "performed" to distract people from the harsh realities of life? :p

I'm actually enjoying the story so far. However, in light of its controversial aspects, this book is most likely not going to get more than 3 stars from me.

In my humble opinion, both the Assassin and the Komizar can rot in Hell together, for all I care. #Annoyed

Even after reading the Assassin's backstory, I still do not like him at all. :l

This book reminds me of P.S. I Like You. However, the idea of exchanging anonymous letters in a graveyard is much darker. :3

Ugh. I'm adding another man to my list of antagonistic fathers in YA. Can't daddies be loving for a change? :p

Everything else that we were to other people didn't matter to us. I didn't need to fall in love with him again. I had never fallen out. —Lia

Please don't let anything bad happen to my ship. <3

Who knew that innocent Gauri would grow up to be such a badass princess? After getting to know her sister Maya first, I feel a little disoriented.



Anyways, cheers to empowered females! Belated Happy Women's Day!

There are just days when my TBR overwhelms me and I suddenly find myself on the verge of a reading slump. Oh well, this is the bookish life. :3

After devouring The Love Interest, I am so ready to finally start this book. <3

Hmm...two characters have to enter a mysterious competition to win one wish? Sounds familiar? I loved that book though, so no problem I guess. ;)

When that plot twist came, I was like...



You amaze me, Cale Dietrich. :3
