Love. Betrayal. Murder.

Valentina is living a charmed, glittering life in Miami—falling in love for the first time, showered with gifts and affection by her father, surrounded by friends—when one shocking moment shatters everything she thought she knew about herself, her boyfriend, and her world. With no one left to trust, Valentina sheds her identity and flees to Montreal, where she finds work posing for a series of portraits by a pompous young artist. Valentina has always been at home in the art world, but she's never felt quite so alone.

Valentina's carefully constructed new life comes crashing down when someone from her past resurfaces, putting her safety in question and her heart on the line. With betrayal at every turn, Valentina must untangle the deceptions of those she once loved and race to find her own truth—before it's too late.

Valentina Cruz no longer exists.

One moment she was wrapped in Emilio's arms, melting into his kiss. The next, she was witnessing the unthinkable: a murder in cold blood, ordered by her father and carried out by her boyfriend. When Emilio pulled the trigger, Valentina disappeared. She made a split-second decision to shed her identity and flee her life of privilege, leaving the glittering parties and sultry nightlife of Miami far behind.

She doesn't know how to explain to herself what she saw. All she knows now is that nothing she believed about her family, her heart, or Emilio's love was real.

She can change her name and deny her past, but Valentina can't run from the truth. The lines between right and wrong, and trust and betrayal, will be blurred beyond recognition as she untangles the deceptions of the two men she once loved and races to find her own truth.

So, I just heard of this book and it seems really interesting. There's a sneak peek that's about the first five chapters of the book. Ya'll can check it out I guess if anyone reads this *tears*. Anyway, here's the sneak peek.​

Okay, so I don't want people thinking "Oh, it's just another fairy tale story." because it isn't. The characters are just based off them and actually have very interesting backgrounds. Especially Iko the android, because she's just freakin' hilarious. The story is really interesting and each book adds the perspective of another character.

OhhhhHhhhHhhHH! And Fairest is coming out next January. It's set before the series starts when Queen Levana is 15 and goes through the next 10 years of her life showing her relationship between her and her sister and how she became Queen. There's also this small excerpt.

"She felt no great loss at the death of her parents, who had been gone now for half the long day, eight artificial night. Their deaths had been terribly boring—assassinated by a shell, who had used an invincibility against the Lunar gift to sneak into the palace. The man had shot two royal guards in their heads before making his way to her parents' bedroom on the third floor, killing three more guards, and slitting her mother's throat so deeply the knife had severed part of her spine. He had then gone down the hallway to where her father was lying with one of his mistresses and stabbed him sixteen times in the chest. The mistress was still screaming, blood spurts across her face, when two royal guards found them. The shell murderer was still stabbing.

Levana had not seen the bodies, but she had seen the bedroom the next morning, and her first thought had been that all that blood would make a very pretty rouge on her lips."
