Waiting on Wednesday

Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge

Since birth, Nyx has been betrothed to the evil ruler of her kingdom—all because of a reckless bargain her father struck. And since birth, she has been training to kill him. 
Betrayed by her family yet bound to obey, Nyx rails against her fate. Still, on her seventeenth birthday, she abandons everything she’s ever known to marry the all-powerful, immortal Ignifex. Her plan? Seduce him, disarm him, and break the nine-hundred-year-old curse he put on her people.
But Ignifex is not at all what Nyx expected. The strangely charming lord beguiles her, and his castle—a shifting maze of magical rooms—enthralls her. As Nyx searches for a way to free her homeland by uncovering Ignifex's secrets, she finds herself unwillingly drawn to him. But even if she could bring herself to love her sworn enemy, could she refuse her duty to kill him?
Based on the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, Cruel Beauty is a dazzling love story about our deepest desires and their power to change our destiny.

This just sounds SO good and is definitely one of my more anticipated releases! Thank God it releases this month.
I always love those stories where you just have no idea who's the "good" guy/who's side you're really on. INTERNAL CONFLICT! Love vs. duty. I never tired of that story. Not to mention, Beauty and the Beast? YES! AND I ADORE THE COVER! It's so clever! And I love the name Nyx. I mean, it means night and that just is too perfect for the dark sounding book! 

*Update* READ AND LOVED (and my review goes up on Tuesday!)
