Well hello InBetweeners. So I know this book has been out a few weeks now but I am just getting the time to catch up on my reviews. I got this book the day it came out and finished it the day after once I finished my last final for the semester. Thank goodness that is all done with too. I have missed my much needed free time, and my baby (my blog) a ton and am very happy to really be getting back in the swing of things. Hope ya'll enjoy and definitely check out the selection series if you haven't already.
Overview
The highly anticipated third book in Kiera Cass's #1 New York Times bestselling Selection series! The One will captivate readers who love dystopian YA fiction and fairy tales. Fans who have followed America's whirlwind romance since it began will delight in The One—a swoon-worthy read for teens who have devoured Veronica Roth's Divergent, Ally Condie's Matched, or Lauren Oliver's Delirium. The Selection changed America Singer's life in ways she never could have imagined. Since she entered the competition to become the next princess of Illéa, America has struggled with her feelings for her first love, Aspen—and her growing attraction to Prince Maxon. Now she's made her choice . . . and she's prepared to fight for the future she wants.
Find out who America will choose in The One, the enchanting, beautifully romantic third book in the Selection series!
HOLY SMOKES!!!! This book is just one of absolute amazingness. I fell in love with the Selection series back a little before the second book Elite came out and from then on I was hooked. Let me tell you it was a very painful wait for this one to be out but somehow I survived (distracting myself by getting hooked onto other series).
So to give you some info, I live in a smaller town in Georgia and the town next to mine is fairly big but there is only a Books A Million to buy from there. The closest Barnes and Noble is almost an hour away and every time I go I wind up getting lost either on the way there or trying to get home. I was determined to get The One from B&N because they were doing a special edition and I wanted it lol. I have a long standing love hate relationship with B&N. Mostly hate. I own a nook and after replacing it 4 times now I have learned the store has terrible customer service. But for some messed up reason I stay loyal. (I think I am seriously crazy) So here I am driving over an hour for a book (this is where my mom rolls her eyes and gets in the car anyways to keep my crazy butt company) and when I get to the store I got the very last copy (Go me) For more than 5 dollars more then I was supposed to pay when I had pre-ordered it originally online (but the order didn't go through and I wasn't notified and lets just say I was pretty mad when I found out. Plus the gas money I was having to pay now. Yeah like I said love HATE relationship) Long story short, I got the dang book, and yes I got lost on the way home, but I found a great thrift shop to stop at so it all worked out.
Back to my review, sorry for the rant.
The One is the third and final book in The Selection Series, and it did not disappoint. Cass creates a beautiful dystopian story. Set in the Kingdom of Illea, America finds herself a member of the 4 remaining elite trying to win the hand of the gorgeous Prince Maxon. But nothing is ever simple. Americas ex Aspen is a guard in the palace and she is having a hard time deciding if her future is to be the queen of a country with more skeletons in its closet than she ever thought possible, or with her past love that broke her heart. If only those were the only two things standing in her way. America not only finds herself between the two loves of her life but between a potential war with a rebel group determined to dethrone the royal family and stop the selection. But when some unlikely allies present themselves America, Maxon, and Aspen have to decide if standing up to Maxon's farther King Clarkson will be the right thing for not only their future but the future of Illea. But King Clarkson won't go down without a fight, and after Americas already in hot water for almost blowing Clarkson's secret he will do anything to make sure she is not The One. Will Her love for Maxon be enough to overcome all the obstacles or will America fail and be sent home. With twists and turns around every corner The One will bring this amazing series to an explosive end, and not everyone will make it out alive.
And what would one of my reviews be without a freak fest over one hot prince. I LOVE Maxon. Not only is he a hunk but the sweet shy side of him just melts my heart. And there is one part in the book and I wont give anything away but it was a total swoon worthy moment, that made me want to jump in the book and just hug and squeeze that guy hehe. And personally I want to smack America around for putting him through so much and not just giving him a straight answer. I mean really, he has never had a chance to date like a normal person and he finds the one girl he can be himself with and she cant commit uhhhhhh. I like love triangles, but to tell ya'll the truth I was borderline about to throw the book if she didn't make a decision.
The One is a great end to such a good series and highly encourage everyone to go pick it up as soon as possible. Or if you haven't started the series, get on that, you will love being apart of America's world.
Hey ya'll you ready for a new blog hop giveaway???
This month we are jumping genres. This hop is actually extremely hard for me because i typically only stick with one maybe two different kinds of books. and the ones I branch out on are the free nook books I can try without worrying about losing money. But here goes I decided to find one just for ya'll and this hop. I'm giving away an e-book of Rule by Jay Crownover, from your choice of media outlet e.g. B&N, Amazon, ext...
Rule (Marked Men Series #1) by: Jay Crownover
Overview:
Opposites in every way . . . except the one that matters
Shaw Landon loved Rule Archer from the moment she laid eyes on him. Rule is everything a straight--A pre-med student like Shaw shouldn't want--and the only person she's never tried to please. She isn't afraid of his scary piercings and tattoos or his wild attitude. Though she knows that Rule is wrong for her, her heart just won't listen.
To a rebel like Rule Archer, Shaw Landon is a stuck-up, perfect princess-and his dead twin brother's girl. She lives by other people's rules; he makes his own. He doesn't have time for a good girl like Shaw-even if she's the only one who can see the person he truly is.
But a short skirt, too many birthday cocktails, and spilled secrets lead to a night neither can forget. Now, Shaw and Rule have to figure out how a girl like her and a guy like him are supposed to be together without destroying their love . . . or each other.
The first Marked Men novel in Jay Crownover's combustible New Adult series. (From Barnes and Nobel)

Hey ya'll so there is a new blog hop is underway and this month it's for a book that is AH-MAZ-ING.
There are so many books that fall into this category and sadly I can only choose one. So for this giveaway lets do Sweet Evil by:Wendy Higgins in honor of her new Book Sweet Reckoning coming out this past week.
This is seriously one of my favorite series. I am madly in love with Kaidan Rowe and love the chemistry between him and Anna. Plus this book has such a great mix of some dang good paranormal romance and a great message about being true to your beliefs and not wavering from your feelings for those you love.
The world of Nephilim, evil demons, and angels will leave you begging for more, and you won't be able to stop reading till you have your hands on all 3 installments of the series.
Hope you enjoy the book and be sure to keep up with the blog, giveaways almost every month and reviews and cover reveals for some of the most popular new books. plus a few other things here and there.
Overview:
Embrace the Forbidden
What if there were teens whose lives literally depended on being bad influences?
This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels.
Tenderhearted Southern girl Anna Whitt was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She's aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but Anna, the ultimate good girl, has always had the advantage of her angel side to balance the darkness within. It isn't until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage and her willpower is put to the test. He's the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.
Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?
Holy freaking cow!!!!! Words can not describe this book. It literally made me feel all the feels lol. What a way to end a series, it was absolutely perfect. And I have to say I am a little sad to see it finally finished. I almost wanted to delay reading it to make it last a bit longer, but I'm just not strong enough to delay the inevitable and finished the book in less than 24 hours, *sigh, I know.
Overview:
Embrace Your fate
It's time.
Evil is running rampant, and sweet Anna Whitt is its target. Nobody knows when or how the Dukes will strike, but Anna and her Nephilim allies will do anything necessary to rid the earth of the demons and their oppressive ways.
The stakes are higher than ever, and Anna is determined that the love she feels will be her strength, not a liability. But trying to protect the ones she loves while running for her life and battling demonic forces proves to be perilous—especially as faces are changing and trust is fleeting. When the Duke of Lust sends Anna's great love, Kaidan Rowe, to work against her, Anna must decide how much she's prepared to risk.
In the most sensual and fast-paced installment yet, Sweet Reckoning brings all the beloved Neph together one last time to fight for their freedom. (From Barnes and Noble)
So where to start????? Well I guess lets just get the most important part out of the way... Kaidan Rowe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who I will admit is my favorite book hottie (other than Daemon Black) but not going on that hot alien tangent for a few more months hehe. Although there was definitely a small little shout out to said hot alien books in this. So back to the point. The smoking hot drummer is back and more adorable than ever. At the end of Sweet Peril (Book 2) Anna Whitt and Kaidan finally decide what to do about their growing love for each other. I don't want to give it all away in case you are new to the series but lets just say I was one happy person at the end of the that book. In Sweet Reckoning we see a completely different side of Kai. He is no longer the brooding secretive neph avoiding his feelings that we originally saw throughout the first 2 books, now he is very forward with his feelings for Anna and will let nothing stop him from being with her. Even if it means Taking down his own demon father and the other 11 Dukes (The demons of the 7 deadly sins plus a few more. All who fell from heaven to wreak havoc on the earth) For the son of the demon of lust, Kai puts his natural instincts aside and we see just how caring and kind the real Kaidan is and how love can change a person for the better. *We are talking totally swoon worthy stuff here ya'll. In this last book we find everyone's favorite neph teaming up again to bring down their big bad daddy demons. And some familiar humans pitching in to help along the way as well. While Anna can't stay with her best friend Jay and adoptive mother Patti any more, they still play a huge roll in her life and do everything they can to help possibly defeat the dukes. This book definitely throws a few curve balls at you. But I have to say that as shocked as a couple in particular left me, they added depth to the plot and made everything everyone was working for worth so much more. And ok let me just say one thing, there is a particular part in this book that had me going crazy. And not mad crazy or anything like that. Crazy in the sense that I have been wondering since half way through book 2 why know one thought of this particular moment sooner. I am telling you I thought about this the minute this whole "Anna has to use the sword of righteousness to take down the dukes by staying pure and righteous herself blah blah blah" if I had things my way this great big problem would have been fixed by the end of book 2. but this folks is why I am not the author here. Suspense? Ha I laugh at suspense, my way would be everyone getting to the point the minute it popped into my head. I have to say this was an absolutely stellar way to end a series, and as happy as I am to finally have all the answers I'm also extremely sad to see the story go. I feel like I have been a part of the nephs trials and tribulations as much as they have and I will miss all the things that happen in the amazing world Wendy Higgins so beautifully created. As with anything the end must come and I am happy to say that I am so thankful to Wendy for writing such an amazing story and having the guts to publish it. Goodbye Kai and Anna your story has been one of Sweet Awesomeness.
I actually got my book a few days early and this was me right after getting my hands on it. Thank goodness for a book store that released it early. hehe
And if you haven't started the series I highly encourage you to. It is amazing and you will fall in love from the very first chapter.
Squee!!!! This cover is freaking awesome. Wish it matched a little better with the original ones but I can deal. Plus Pepe Toth looks freaking hot on this cover. *swoon
Can not wait till it is out in august.
Though it will be sad to see the series end, I am freaking counting down the days ya'll hehe
