So many amazing books I want to add to my bookshelf. Do you have that problem? I had this one a while back on my WoW list. Now that it's out it's been bumped to my Wishlist. I love the cover and the synopsis sounds captivating. 

The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski
(Goodreads)

Winning what you want may cost you everything you love 

As a general’s daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions. 

One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin’s eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It’s not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin. 

But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined. 

Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.

  1. I'm not sure I'm going to like this book but the hype has gotten to me and I want to at least give it a try.
