BOOK NAME: Heartless 
 AUTHOR: Marissa Meyer 
 ACTUAL RATING: 4.5 
 Long before she was the terror of Wonderland, she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love. 
 I had high expectations for this book and I do believe that it has almost reached every single one of them! This book was a joy to read. To discover what lead darling Catherine to become the Queen of Hearts. 
 Catherine is the daughter of the Marquess and Marchioness of Rock Turtle cove and she's expected to act as a lady, do nothing to insult the honor of her family and get married off pretty soon. She's one of the king's favorites because of the delicate pasteries and treats she can magically whipp up. 
 Once upon a time, the Queen of Hearts never wished to be Queen. 
 She had dreams of opening the most spectacular, wonderous bakery in all of Hearts. 
 Though the King does like her for her sweet delicacies, she doesn't favour him at all, to say the least. Even I thought the king to be a bit too bubbly... 
 Let me introduce Jest, the court Joker. A mysterious, clever young man whoes caught Catherine's attention. Jest has one of those bad-boy vibes surrounding him -getting you to double-think whether he's on the 'good' side or the 'bad'. 
 I thought he was awesome (view spoiler)[until he had his head chopped off. Quiet sad. I was opting for them to have a happily ever after in the end. (hide spoiler)] 
 And the ending . . . AUGH HEARTBREAKING
