This is an incredible story about the ugly side of an abusive relationship but it also is about healing and learning to trust. Sound like a Nicholas Sparks novel? Trust me it is not. If you like the edgy side of romance with a little mystery you will definitely like this book.
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas Eighteen year old Celaena is an assassin feared by all. She is imprisoned in the salt mines of Endovier. Celaena grabs the attention of the King who is a cruel and evil ruler. He has offered her freedom if she becomes his champion. Celaena must fight for 4 years a total of 23 battles. The king is not the only evil presence in the castle. There is something evil and forgotten in the walls of the castle and killing off the other competitors. I think you will either love or hate this book. I really liked it. Celaena is a strong female character but she is a girly girl. She is a smart aleck with a diva personality and she kicks butt.
Shatter Me by Taheren Mafi Juliette Ferrar is 17 and has been alone and jailed for almost a year, 264 days to be exact. Juliette has a gift or curse as she likes to call it, her touch causes pain and eventually death. This is something the government want to control and use for their benefit. On day 264 she is given a cell mate, Adam, who is immune to her touch. Coincidence, I think not, he is working for the government. They want him to get Juliette to come over to their side. But things are never that simple, Adam falls for Juliette and together they try to defeat the "Establishment". This book is the first in a trilogy. Juliette's character starts out a bit whiny but as the story develops so does her character. If you are a fan of dystopian novels with romance thrown in you will not be disappointed.
