Hey guys, so i did a challenge where i read a whole book series in one week and the one i did was called the Selection by Kiera Cass. Kiera Cass also did the book called The Siren which i also did a review to. So, this book should be recommended to people who love the Bachelor, but this time its with royalty.
So this book series starts out with a girl named America who has a rank of a five, a five is a pretty low rank and they don't have enough money, so she has a boyfriend and he is a six so if she were to marry him she would become a six to. So, there is a thing that when the king and queens heir is old enough they start something called the Selection. America gets chosen for this and when the first night rolls around of the competition she is out in the garden and she and the prince, Maxon, seem to bond really well. They just want to stay friends, but there relationship seems to grow more and more. Until, America's old boyfriend shows up, as a royal guard. Maxon sees this strange connection between the two but doesn't see the connection that well. So he carries on with the selection and while he is off with other girls America starts seeing her ex again and hopes not to get caught because if she does she will be kicked off the Selection. But America also feels that her and Maxon's relationship have grown farther apart. Soon, Maxon feels as if he has made his final decision which is to pick America, until he catches America with her ex, and feels betrayed. But in the final ball he was going to pick another girl but there was an attack on the castle, and Maxon gets terribly hurt, America stays with him until the ambush is over, then he truly sees that America does love him and gets married.
After a while they have a a lot of kids and the next books go by the point of view of the oldest, Evelyn, who is soon to be queen. She has come of age to begin the selection, but she wants to rule by herself as just a single ruler, she only said yes because she didn't wish to fall in love and was going to quit after three months of the Selection. But when she begins she happens to find a guy who didn't speak English and needed a translator named Erik. But when Evelyn starts to fall in love with some of the guys, finds out some bad things that could effect her choice. The boys invite her on group dates for a baseball game and cooking in the kitchen. But during the baseball game her mother, America, has a heart attack and is stuck asleep for a while, and because her father, Maxon, is also a little ill, she must be in charge for some time as queen. Still having the Selection to handle and now the county her life is crazy, and must find whom she can trust, because of a sudden threat that accrues from who she thought was a friend, but all he wanted was to take the throne for himself. I don't want to spoil if she picks someone or what happens to the sudden threat, but i did love the end of the book.
I truly loved this book series and would read it again if i wanted. This whole book series deserves a 5 star review, and if you like the Bachelor or the Bachelorette stuff you will love this book series. Also if you have a great book series to read please tell me and i will see what i can to to read it.
