Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
Release Date: March 7, 2012
Add it on Goodreads
Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts—and a violent destiny. If she chooses to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a handmaiden to Death. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives of others.
Ismae’s most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittany—where she finds herself woefully under prepared—not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?
Not only does this super amazing, but I am absolutely in love with the cover. Pretty girl, pretty dress, and then…BAM! You see her weapon. Also, how great is that tagline? I am dying to get my hands on this.
What are you waiting on?

Dude, I NEED this book in my life!! Every review I read for this gushes about how freaking awesome it is… which is really testing my patience, because damn, March seems so far away. And yes, I love the cover! Feminine and badass <3 WANT.
I totally forgot how awesome your blogtheme looked, because I always read your posts via google feedreader. xD Daaamn. *sudden urge to make new wordpress theme instantly*
Your choice looks pretty fantastic. (Which is why I opened the post in my internet browser in the first place, duh :’D) I have it on my not-yet-released shelf already, but totally forgot until I saw your post.. Okay.. until I clicked “Add it on Goodreads” and it said that I already have it on my shelf.. *sigh*
Anyways, have a nice day!
