Cindy's Review: 
The one regret I have from reading this book is not reading it sooner. Why didn't I? I received it like a month ago in the mail, but I haven't got to reading it. I know it's summer and all, but then y'all know, summer can busier. Like even my weekends are taken. :( Well. Either way, super glad I did read it~ :D Since I took so long to read and review it, I'll make this review especially juicy. <3

At First Glance:
I really didn't think this book would be that appealing. Like the teaser didn't take hold of my attention and twist it until I had to open the book. The cover? Well, at first, I thought the cover had nothing to do with the book. It obviously had something to do with the title though. Hehe.

The Characters/Summary:
Lynn Davis - Lynn was a great protagonist. But she's so old! At least to me. She's too old to be single. LOL. I dunno much about her looks though. The author didn't describe her that much. All I remember is that she has red hair. And I kind of like it like that. The reader can imagine how they look. Not everything is about looks. Unless you're reading new adult romance. LOL. :) She may or may not be a princess. <   This just says so much. But then.....well, I can't really say I'm spoiling the book. You'd kinda get a hint while reading. At first, I thought Lynn cried too much. She did cry a lot. But then,s he was like kidnapped from her home, soo..... But then she got better. And became stronger. She stood up to brats and all. :)

Kyle von Talion - I love their sexy last names. Lynn's is von Astrium. It's just so sexy. LOL. And Kyle. I dunno his age but he has this cool energy around him. I just like guys with high authority. Especially the medieval novels. Or novels with royalties. 

Of course, there's got to be a spoiled brat princess, who also may be evil. This just kind of reminds me of this Chinese drama I finished not long ago. Ohmergerd. Except the girl wasn't a lost princess. And the guy was actually the king's younger brother. That drama tho. My feels. And the guy's cute too. Ohmergerd. Okay. Back to the book. 

Destiny's Flower also kind of reminds me a bit of The Selection. Or actually a lot. Because, the ten girls are in a competition to marry the prince. And each girl were picked from the ten houses. Von Talion. Von Astrium. etc. Yep. And in a way, both America from The Selection and Lynn got special connections. Ish. They just have more of a chance to win than other girls. Probably because they're the main character.

Final Thoughts:
Overall, this book. Great for medieval fans~ Over here!! And there's some romance definitely. Although they don't do anything. I'm debating about the love triangle though. I don't know. I think the second book would give us waaay more information. 

Really can't wait for the second book~ :D You can find out more about Destiny's Flower @ www.rosebuz.com. 

Rating: (1-10): 9~ 

Happy Reading~ 

Book Haul #3!

I haven't done a book haul since. Well. Forever. Literally. :) I did do some Stacking the Shelves posts, but I kinda stopped. Ish. Well. Yeah, I stopped. Cuz I got lazy. You can't blame me. I was busy. :/

When I got some books yesterday, thanks to book bestie/coming author Liana @ Book Addict., I knew I had to brag. Jk. Maybe just to, y'all know. Give information.:D  Plus, it's such a Liana thing to do a book haul. So here I come.

I'm going to include some of the other books I got that supposedly wasn't mentioned in any of the Stacking the Shelves. I kinda have bad memory. Not kinda. More like I really do.  They mostly are either ebooks and arcs sent by authors. Because, I didn't buy any books. Or I did. But then Amazon said it comes in October. *cries When the book I pre-ordered also comes out.

So, yesterday, Liana gave me five books! Because I'm so cool like that. Omg. I love that girl. K.

I read this already.

And Liana just got extras. 

:D So I'd say, go read it.

Check out my review!

An adventurous YA 

novel. Yay! So more

to my book collection. 

4.5/5 stars. 

Haven't read this one. 

It's an ARC. 

Judging from what book

queen says, it's pretty good.

But the cover is ugly.

Either way,

4/5 stars.

Okay. We both haven't read this one.

Seems kinda interesting.......

Erm. I hope it has romance in it. ;D 

Except I kind of don't do souls and stuff.

I'll see. I'll see. :D

Average Rating: 3.47

Liana says it's good. 

She thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is also an ARC. 

The one above is an ARC too.

But there's these upside down pages in the middle of the book......

Okay. The tagline does seem

pretty interesting.

4/5 stars.

Okayy. Pretty interesting title.....

School stuff. Possibly no romance.

But teaches us ish? how to stick up 

to a bully. Yea. Okey.

Everyone who read it seems to think

it's a good book. Looking forward it~ 

4/5 stars. 

Yep. I just love Liana for giving these babies to me. ;D Can't believe she actually gave her babies away. Amazing~ I just get people to do such impossible things. *poses. Jk. I'm just soooo awkward. Okay.

SO anyways, the ratings above are mostly by Liana. Or actually, all the 4/5 ratings are by Liana. And the others are either by me or Goodreads source. 

Herher. Yes. I said, I'll list the other books. But y'all know what! Nvm~ I like this post just like this. Okey. Bye! <3
