Welcome to the Pre-Squee, a new weekly feature here at the Bookworms and at The Book Swarm. Some books, though they might not be coming out for a few months, need an early squee — we just can’t hold in our excitement about them! Sure, we’ll do full reviews closer to the release date but this feature gives us a chance to share a little bit of our love, whether it be for the story, cover, characters, or whatever. We’re quite flexible in our book love.
So today we Squee aboutÂ
The Heart of Betrayal
series:Â The Remnant Chronicles #2 | Book 1: Kiss of Deception
Goodreads | Pre-Order : amazon
July 7th 2015 by Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)
Intrigue abounds in this hotly anticipated sequel to The Kiss of Deception!
Held captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape. Desperate to save her life, Lia’s erstwhile assassin, Kaden, has told the Vendan Komizar that she has the gift, and the Komizar’s interest in Lia is greater than anyone could have foreseen.
Meanwhile, nothing is straightforward: there’s Rafe, who lied to Lia, but has sacrificed his freedom to protect her; Kaden, who meant to assassinate her but has now saved her life; and the Vendans, whom Lia always believed to be barbarians. Now that she lives amongst them, however, she realizes that may be far from the truth. Wrestling with her upbringing, her gift, and her sense of self, Lia must make powerful choices that will affect her country… and her own destiny.
So yes, yesterday was one of these Squee moments for me when I saw the cover to The Heart of Betrayal! I loved the first book so so so so freaking much, Kiss of Deception was one of my highlight books this year and definitely made it to my Top 10 List of books!

Love the cover! Pre-squee!!!! July?!? Aaaahhhh! Too long! Kiss of Deception was brilliant. Luckily I’ve got Robin LaFever’s “His Fair Assassin” series and Sarah J. Maas’ “Throne of Glass” series yet to be read!
I’d be remiss if I didn’t recommend Erika Johansen’s The Queen of the Tearling. Not a YA, but absolutely wonderful all the same.
