For so long I have stayed away from this book, but finally I've read rebel belle and it was so good. I tried to steered clear of this book despite all the hype because it really didn't seem like something I'd like, the cover didn't appeal to me and the premise just seemed weird, which it was but in a good way. The book was original, it made me laugh out loud in places, and the main protagonist is by far one of my favourite characters. 
 Harper Price is the perfect southern belle, she is in basically every club, has the best marks in her class, popular friends and a perfect boyfriend. So there's lots of pressure on Harper to stay perfect and keep her image. It's homecoming and Harper is going to be crowned queen but she realizes that she doesn't have any lip gloss on, how could that be her lips are naked. So she hurries over to the bathroom to gloss up her lips before the crowning. This is where it gets weird, the janitor comes in as she's applying her borrowed lip gloss and locks the door behind him, that's not it, because he also has a huge cut on his stomach which could only be made by a sword. Harper goes over to ask if he's ok and needs help (which obviously he does) Mr. Hall then KISSES HARPER and DIES in the girls washroom (I'm pretty sure at that point she just stared up into nothingness trying to process that the school janitor just kissed her). Then it get even stranger if that's possible, the bathroom door blows up and Harper's history teacher barges in with a sword, he stares at the now dead janitor on the floor before noticing Harper and... Attacks her because what else would he do, right? Luckily Harper suddenly gains super ninja badass powers and kills her history teacher with her high heeled shoe. In the end Harper walks out of the bathroom unharmed wondering what the fuck just happened. 
 When Mr. Hall kissed Harper it wasn't because he was just a pedophile, when he kissed Harper he passed on some cool powers and made Harper a paladin. Paladins are a sort of protector and supposedly protect a 'special cause', so all Harper has to do is find that cause can't be to bad, right? Wrong. The 'special cause' just so happens to be Harper's mortal enemy David Saylor. Now Harper must protect David with her life, till death just because she forgot to put lip gloss on for homecoming. 
 This book was so much fun and so entertaining. The premise was strange and new, I personally have never heard of Paladins before so I didn't know what to expect and had no idea where the story was going to lead making it that much more interesting. The book at first glance sucks you in with the action and weirdness of the whole situation and there is always something happening to keep you intrigued the whole way through. Then conclusion of the book was great too, lots of action and some unexpected turns that make me even more excited to get my hands on the next book. There was character development, adorable relationships, humour and just plain bizarre situations. If you decide to read this you are sure to like this book and fall in love with Harper, the girly girl who seriously knows how to kick butt. She's charming, sweet, and damn straight hilarious. 
 Miss mayhem, the second book will be in my procession soon because the entertainment of the first book was over way to quick. I'm sure I'll love it if it's anything like the first book and wouldn't be surprised if I finished it the day I start it. I'm ready for more Harper and David, strange and awkward situations and another good laugh. 4 stars.
