#BookReview: Rise of the Vicious Princess (Rise of the Vicious Princess #1) by C. J. Redwine

The first in a YA political fantasy duology about a fierce princess determined to bring lasting peace to her kingdom regardless of the cost to her heart.

Princess Charis Willowthorn is the dutiful sword of Calera. Raised to be ruthless and cunning, her only goal is to hold her war-torn kingdom together long enough to find a path toward peace with their ancient foe, Montevallo, even if the cost is her own heart.

When violence erupts in the castle itself and an unseen enemy begins sinking Calera’s ships, Charis realizes a threat much greater than Montevallo is coming for her people. So she forms a plan. By day, she is Calera’s formidable princess intent on forging an alliance with Montevallo. By night, she disguises herself as a smuggler and roams the sea with a trusted group of loyalists, hunting for their new enemies. And through it all, there’s the one boy she can’t have—who guards her life but steals her heart.

But her enemies are much closer than Charis realizes, and her heart isn’t the only thing she has left to lose.

His search forced Sean to assume his nom de plume, George Wescot and enter a world of extreme wealth and of people who only cared about their own pleasures and not the pain it caused other people. George uses his skills learned from hunting, fighting and evasion to penetrate this sadistic society. Subsequently, he pursued across the United States, India, and Europe. Finally, Sean stopped running from the Brothers, and started hunting those people who caused his ex-girlfriend's and her family's pain from injuries she sustained.

#BookReview: Curtsies & Consequences by Melissa Constantine

Kira, Princess Royal of the Known Kingdoms, has a big, particularly hairy secret. That terrifying thing running through the woods around Corlea Palace? That's her.

And she plans to keep it up, using the magic of an old cloak to be the mythical Beast of Barlow. It's all going just fine until she receives an urgent request from her cousin Bertie to help him figure out why a group of orphans is turning into little copies of the Beast whenever they go outside. To help solve the mystery Kira is paired with Sir Robert, perhaps the most infuriatingly beautiful (and far too preceptive) knight on the continent, before a planned hunt for the Beast puts them in even more danger. All she has to do is keep her secrets close and Robert closer. 

Easy.

Until she wakes up as the Beast she's been pretending to be.
