From Goodreads: In the year 2054, after decades of gender selection, India now has a ratio of five boys for every one girl, making women an incredibly valuable commodity. Tired of marrying off their daughters to the highest bidder and determined to finally make marriage fair, the women who form the country of Koyonagar have instituted a series of tests so that every boy has a chance to win a wife.

From Goodreads: When Cassie Taylor met Ethan Hold at acting school, sparks flew. She was the good girl actress. He was the bad boy about campus. But one fated casting choice for Romeo and Juliet changed it all. Like the characters they were playing, Cassie and Ethan's romance seemed destined. Until he broke her heart and betrayed her trust. Now the A-List heartthrob is back in her life and turning her world around. One touch at a time.

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews, where bloggers share their weekly book hauls! I absolutely love showcasing what I received over the week, and seeing what goodies everyone else got as well!!!
Hey guys! If you haven't heard yet, I'm an Into the Dark Series Ambassador for Bree Despain. What exactly does this mean? Well, it means that I get to share exclusive behind-the-scenes content (Like I did a few weeks ago, with Haden, Daphne, and Tobin's Character Profiles and theTeaser Quotes) and fun giveaways like the one I did (still going!!) for The Shadow Prince! Today, I have a pretty epic behind the scenes video for the series!
Bree Despain's INTO THE DARK series is based on two of her favorite Greek myths: Persephone & Hades, and Orpheus & Eurydice. Both are stories about people who ventured into the dark (or the unknown) for the sake of love. Most people are more familiar with the Persephone myth than they are with the story of Orpheus and Eurydice so Bree decided to to make a little 4 minute movie version of the myth for anyone who might want a little refresher course on this tragic tale. The movie was written and directed by Bree's 12 year old son and stars the members of her family--including Bree and all of her messy hair + no makeup glory. Enjoy!
