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 about
The Heart of Betrayal

July 7th 2015 by Henry Holt & Co.
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.
I have been seriously waiting anxiously for this sequel to The Kiss of Deception since I read the ARC last year. The cover is so nice!!! July is almost here. I can’t wait! 🙂

The cover is so gorgeous, I’d pick it up just for that. But I have to read The Kiss of Deception first, I haven’t just yet, and I keep hearing nothing but praise.

This sequel is SOOO good. I really liked “The Kiss of Deception” but this one (dare I say it) may be better! I have less than 100 pages left, and it’s DEFINITELY worth reading!
