Title Reveal: The Crown - Kiera Cass (The Selection #5)

It's here, it's here, it's here!

The title for the final conclusion in The Selection series has been released and yet the synopsis or cover has yet to be revealed but I will keep updating this certain post as more things become revealed.

It is being released on May 3, 2016, although possibly tentative if Cass cannot meet her published date. 

I will let you guys know as she updates everyone. 

Do read the series and possibly keep the fourth book because honestly, if you do not like self-absorbed girls who think that they are better than everyone else because she potentially has the crown.

I can't wait to keep you guys updated on this.

Blog you later, awesome book nerds. 

Cover Reveal - Announced Published Date - The Siren - Kiera Cass

Published Date: July 1, 2009

Re-Published Date: January 26, 2016

Genre: Romance/Young Adult

Synopsis: "You must never do anything that might expose our secret. This means that, in general, you cannot form close bonds with humans. You can speak to us, and you can always commune with the Ocean, but you are deadly to humans. You are, essentially, a weapon. A very beautiful weapon. I won't lie to you, it can be a lonely existence, but once you are done, you get to live. All you have to give, for now, is obedience and time..." 

The same speech has been given hundreds of times to hundreds of beautiful girls who enter the sisterhood of sirens. Kahlen has lived by these rules for years now, patiently waiting for the life she can call her own. But when Akinli, a human, enters her world, she can't bring herself to live by the rules anymore. Suddenly the life she's been waiting for doesn't seem nearly as important as the one she's living now.

Kiera Cass has just announced that she will be re-writing The Siren and I actually cannot wait. I did not read the original published just yet but I do want to give it a try before I get to read The Siren (re-published). 

A review will come soon of the original soon and soon as the re-published one is well, published, a review will come for that as well. As will Rebels: City of Indra - Kendall/Kylie Jenner and Maya Sloan.

The Selection series - Kiera Cass (The Selection #1-4)

Okay, to be honest, I fell in love with The Selection and it's wittiness. The main reason why is because America Singer was a strong and beautiful character that showed the world she did not need a man to define her. Then, here comes Aspen Leger. Older, hotter, guy that America is absolutely in love with. The problem why they cannot show off their relationship off to the world is because Aspen is a caste lower than America.

However, America's family, does not have a lot of money and then her mother hears about Prince Maxon and how he is looking for 35 eligible girls for The Selection. So, my thought was, wow this seems like show, The Bachelor/Bachelorette. I was not wrong and my theory is proven with the most recent release, The Heir.

Follow Kiera Cass as she tells the story of America Singer and how she ends up winning a prince's heart and the country's as well.

Synopsis for The Selection:

For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.

Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself--and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

Synopsis for The Elite:

The Selection began with thirty-five girls.
Now with the group narrowed down to the six Elite, the competition to win Prince Maxon's heart is fiercer than ever—and America is still struggling to decide where her heart truly lies. Is it with Maxon, who could make her life a fairy tale? Or with her first love, Aspen?

America is desperate for more time. But the rest of the Elite know exactly what they want—and America's chance to choose is about to slip away.

Synopsis for The One:

The time has come for one winner to be crowned.

When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown—or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, America realizes just how much she stands to lose—and how hard she'll have to fight for the future she wants.

Synopsis for The Heir:

Princess Eadlyn has grown up hearing endless stories about how her mother and father met. Twenty years ago, America Singer entered the Selection and won the heart of Prince Maxon—and they lived happily ever after. Eadlyn has always found their fairy-tale story romantic, but she has no interest in trying to repeat it. If it were up to her, she'd put off marriage for as long as possible.

But a princess's life is never entirely her own, and Eadlyn can't escape her very own Selection—no matter how fervently she protests.

Eadlyn doesn't expect her story to end in romance. But as the competition begins, one entry may just capture Eadlyn's heart, showing her all the possibilities that lie in front of her . . . and proving that finding her own happily ever after isn't as impossible as she's always thought.

My thoughts on the upcoming 5th book:

Um Cass should have kept it at the 3rd or 4th book but no, she wants the 5th book and the main character in this is not only bratty but she is rude and especially if nothing goes her way, she throws a tantrum. Something in the 4th book is absolutely heartbreaking but I hope it does get better by the 5th.

I guess you can kind of say that I am kind of excited but also slightly bored with the whole ordeal.

XOXO fellow readers. Next up, The Strange Maid by Tessa Gratton and The Dead List by Jennifer L. Armentrout.

The Infinite Sea - Rick Yancey (The 5th Wave #2)

Oh man, I meant to read this book all day but I kept getting distracted by funny videos on Youtube and then I found The Writer's Circle on Facebook that posts some funny pictures.

Seriously though, my attention span is short ad it gets distracted easily. 

The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey, is the epitome of great novels. It is the second book to The 5th Wave and it ended with a complete cliffhanger, may I remind you.

However, this book, it jumps from perspective of one to perspective another. It kind of makes my head hurt but it is deeply intriguing.

Although I am only halfway through this book, I fell absolutely in love with the writer and the series. I cannot say that for a lot of books but if there are more books that he writes, I will read them. The only other time that I felt this way was with Jennifer L. Armentrout, or as J. Lynn as you may know her as. 

I am absolutely thrilled to finish this book and I cannot wait for my update on this. My book to review on Friday will hopefully be The Heir by Kiera Cass but here is the synopsis and cover art. Again, absolutely in love, Also must I add that The 5th Wave just got a movie deal and it should be coming out within the next year or so! So excited!

Synopsis:

How do you rid the Earth of seven billion humans? Rid the humans of their humanity.

Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others’ ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race.

Cassie and her friends haven’t seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate.

And I will get an update to you guys by tomorrow at lunch time. 

XOXO fellow readers and see you soon!

Okay so I totally lied and said I would post an update but by the time I finished the book, I needed to sleep. Sorry everyone.

The only thing that I want to add to this review is that Cassie is not as strong of a female character as I would have hoped but rather Ringer is. I absolutely love Ringer because not only has she stayed bright throughout the alien war but also snarky and a smart-ass. I almost thought she was one to go for the jockey character but there is a character in here that meets her punch for punch.

Ugh. In love. Next up, The Heir - Kiera Cass.

The Lost Sun - Tessa Gratton (The United States of Asgard #1)

More Norse mythology? Heck yes!

I found this book amusing, yes, I haven't read it all the way but considering it is in an alternate world of the United States and the states have changed their names.

Now, Soren Bearskin has been trying to run from the berserker fever. Something that killed his father and thirteen other people. He is the hot and loner boy that you wouldn't expect to be a loner. Not only is everyone afraid of him, he is afraid of himself. Astrid Glyn, daughter of Jena Glyn, both seethers. Jena unfortunately passed on to the other life but Astrid transfers into the academy and has no fear of Soren. 

Soren is fascinated by the girl who claims that she has dreamt of him. When she approaches him every now and then, people are shocked and yet astounded. Popular girl meets loner boy. Oh shocker. But it is a great story so far and I cannot wait to finish this book and onto the second.

Synopsis:

Norse-mythology-infused alternate world: the United States of Asgard. Seventeen-year-old Soren Bearskin is trying to escape the past. His father, a famed warrior, lost himself to the battle-frenzy and killed thirteen innocent people. Soren cannot deny that berserking is in his blood--the fevers, insomnia, and occasional feelings of uncontrollable rage haunt him. So he tries to remain calm and detached from everyone at Sanctus Sigurd's Academy. But that's hard to do when a popular, beautiful girl like Astrid Glyn tells Soren she dreams of him. That's not all Astrid dreams of--the daughter of a renowned prophetess, Astrid is coming into her own inherited abilities. 
When Baldur, son of Odin and one of the most popular gods in the country, goes missing, Astrid sees where he is and convinces Soren to join her on a road trip that will take them to find not only a lost god, but also who they are beyond the legacy of their parents and everything they've been told they have to be.

Upcoming books will be Infinite Sea - The 5th Wave 2nd book by Rick Yancey and hopefully The Heir by Kiera Cass as well. Thanks for reading everyone and tune back in next Wednesday. Let your summer rock on you guys!

Update:

Okay the ending, sweet and sappy. You have no idea how much I equally love and hate those kinds of endings. However, the rescuers boons were just ridiculous. 

This book was well-written for young adults but I would rate it a 3.5 stars out of 5.
