The Betrothed by Kiera Cass

4.0

The Betrothed is a beautiful, fast-paced book by Kiera Cass.

The book starts; convincing you that Hollis Brite, (the main character), is soon to be marrying Prince Jameson, only for it to take a sharp turn, when Hollis meets Silas Eastoffe and falls madly in love.
Then, just before Jameson proposes to her, Hollis tells him that she can't marry him. Then as if this wasn't enough, Hollis then runs away with Silas that same night.
Just when you think the book is finally going to smooth out to a happy ending, Silas and Hollis whole family get murdered in a massacrer on Hollis and Silas' wedding.
This leaves Hollis in a lurch, left with only her sister-in-law Scarlett and her mother-in-law. Scarlett and Lady Eastoffe leave the kingdom a few days later, leaving Hollis behind. Just as the book draws to a close, Hollis realises that she doesn't want to be left all alone, and catches up with their carriage on her horse.
The book then ends with Hollis, Lady Eastoffe and Scarlett together, ready to face whatever comes their way.

I really enjoyed this novel, and I couldn't recommend it more highly. Great for lovers of amazing fashion, romance and a fast-paced storyline.
