The Selection - Kiera CasPublished : 24th April 2012
Publisher : Harper Collins (UK)
I wasn't really sure about this book when I first saw this cover, although it's pretty and I like it, the cover just doesn't seem like this would be my sort of read.
Anyway I read the blurb and was straight away drawn in by the sound of this storyline. It definitely sounds like my sort of read and I was straight away intrigued, it sounds so unique.
Here is to hoping that Prince Maxon is a hottie that will blow me away! Looking at the reviews so far it seems to a very good read!

The Blurb :
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 the palace and compete for the heart of the 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
