Title: The Winner's Crime (The Winner's Trilogy #2)
Author: Marie Rutkoski
Publisher: Farrar Straus Giroux
Expected Publication Date: March 3, 2015
Blurb:
Book two of the dazzling Winner's Trilogy is a fight to the death as Kestrel risks betrayal of country for love.
The engagement of Lady Kestrel to Valoria’s crown prince means one celebration after another. But to Kestrel it means living in a cage of her own making. As the wedding approaches, she aches to tell Arin the truth about her engagement…if she could only trust him. Yet can she even trust herself? For—unknown to Arin—Kestrel is becoming a skilled practitioner of deceit: an anonymous spy passing information to Herran, and close to uncovering a shocking secret.
As Arin enlists dangerous allies in the struggle to keep his country’s freedom, he can’t fight the suspicion that Kestrel knows more than she shows. In the end, it might not be a dagger in the dark that cuts him open, but the truth. And when that happens, Kestrel and Arin learn just how much their crimes will cost them.

I have a copy of The Winner's Curse, but still haven't read it. 0_0 I know!! WHAT am I waiting for?! I really need to get on that. I was actually hoping to get the audiobook, but I've heard the narrator is pretty annoying, so now I'm not so sure. Either way, I need to read it SOON!! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved the first one. It's a bit slower paced than I'm used to, but the writing is fantastic! GET ON IT, Lisa! LOL! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI just love this cover! Great choice, I still need to read the first book but I have a copy so I'm sure I can fit it in before this one comes out. Thanks for stopping by my wow!
ReplyDeleteRight? The cover is just as fantastic as the first one! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI'm definitely going to read this, but I hope it's a bit faster paced than the first. Those covers just suck me in, too. Have a great day!

My WoW
I've heard it is not any faster paced. I actually liked that the first one was a bit slow. I'm usually not a fan of that, but with fantasy type stuff I like to savor it! Thanks for stopping by, Michelle!
DeleteI can't wait to read this one as well! I just downloaded it from NetGalley, but it won't be read for weeks, honestly. I hope you enjoy it when you read it! Thanks for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteAlyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I am so jealous. I am not approved for their titles on Net Galley (and it's not public). I so want it like yesterday! I know I'll enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI got a copy of the Winner's Curse a few weeks ago - I really need to know what everyone's been raving about! This is such a beautiful cover too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm jelly! Enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteOh, yeah!!! This will be a future WOW for me. I really loved the first book and I'm dying to read this one! Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteTressa @ Wishful Endings
