To pay back the damages, she is forced to work for the club, and it's there that she discovers just how wealthy the boys are and how different they are from everybody else.

Review : this volume was great I loved the stories so after Haruhi father walks in on tamaki on Haruhi well he throws Tamaki and then we learn kyoya has been chatting with Haruhi father and Haruhi gets mad and goes to the store alone but Haruhi father after hurting tamaki feelings leaves and he goes to the store with Haruhi where they end up making a hot pot . In the next part Hunny ends up getting a cavity and sweets end up getting banned in the host club and he ends up getting mad at mori and mori feels it's his fault that honey didn't brush his teeth hunny apologizes to mori and then sweets are back at the host club. In the next part of the story they end up doing a alice and wonderland part with multiple Alice's first it was the twins then tamaki then Haruhi it was a funny part of the story
. The last part is when the newspaper club wants to do a expose on the host club mostly tamaki but the twins find out and they all stop it from happening I enjoyed this volume.

One day, Haruhi, a scholarship student at exclusive Ouran High School, breaks an $80,000 vase that belongs to the "Host Club," a mysterious campus group consisting of six super-rich (and gorgeous) guys. To pay back the damages, she is forced to work for the club, and it's there that she discovers just how wealthy the boys are and how different they are from everybody else.

Review : I loved this volume it was funny so the host club ends up going to the beach and then a situation happens where Haruhi gets hurt and Tamaki gets mad at her cause she could of been in danger so he vows not to talk to her until she sees it . But then she realizes the rest of the host club was worried about her also . Tamaki finds out Haruhi is afraid of thunderstorms so he helps her not be scared but the host club walks in on him and Haruhi with a blindfold on her it was to funny . The next part was the is where we meet girls from a all girls school zuco club who want Haruhi to join their club and leave the host club but Haruhi never planned on leaving and the host club members end up dressing as girls . Then we get to a Halloween part where Haruhi gets "cursed" cause she saw a witch but it turns out to be a trick the twins were playing on Haruhi so she could enjoy Halloween which was kinda nice . The host club members end up checking out Haruhi house and they have tea and cake and Haruhi is going to make lunch for them when tamaki falls on Haruhi and then her dad comes home .

I like my body . I'm never going to let someone make me feel bad about it or about cheese curds.

An assassin's loyalties are always in doubt but her heart never wavers

Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the King's Champion. But she is far from loyal to the crown. Though she hides her secret vigilantly, her deadly charade becomes difficult when she realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. No one is above questioning her allegiance—not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign princess with a rebel heart.

Then, one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie ... and whom she is willing to fight for.


Review: I freaking loved this book even more than the first one so Celena is now the king's champion and has to kill people on his list but she cant do it so shes been faking his death now shes supposed to kill this guy named Archer who apparently is in charge of this movement against the king . Celena sees this creature in the library and is freaked out and goes to visit Elena but shes resting but the door knocker is talking his name is Mort . She is trying to figure out a way to fake Archer death so she meets with him and tells him the plan and threatens him if he screws her over .I liked chaol way more in this book he cares so much for Celena they ended up dancing on one occasion. The king is still trying to silence Nehemiah and there is a hit on Nehemiah life . Chaol and Celena have dinner and they kiss and end up sleeping together they are finally happy . Dorian has discovered he may have some magic abilities. Chaol is taken and Celena goes to get him and Archer is apart of a movement what the fuck and Nehemiah was killed by an assassin and Celena kills her killer . Celena is in mourning over Nehemiah cause they got into a fight before she died . Celena goes back into the library and finds the creature and Dorian is there also what the fuck is the king hiding . Celena opens a portal to talk to Nehemiah and it's bad news cause something comes out after she talks to Nehemiah and Dorian and Chaol come and help but she gets into the portal and Celena turns into her true form a Fae what the hell . She tells chaol that she is Fae . Chaol ends up getting the king to send her to wendolyn where there are Fae . Chaol finds out that Celena is the lost princess.


Quotes

Dance with me, Celaena," he said again, his voice rough. When her eyes met his she forgot about the cold, and the moon, and the glass palace looming above them. The secret library and the king's plans and Mort and Elena faded into nothing. She took his hand and there was only the music and Chaol.

Chaol raised his brows. "So I'm just here for decoration?"

"Be grateful I consider you a worthy accessory.”

“Roland gave her a courtier’s smile. “And what sort of work do you do for my uncle?
”
Dorian shifted on his feet and Chaol went very still, but Celaena returned Roland’s smile and said, “I bury the king’s opponents where nobody will ever find them.”


Who said anything about shame?" She gestured down to her naked body, even though it was covered by the blanket. "Honestly, I'm surprised you're not strutting about, boasting to everyone. I certainly would be if I'd tumbled me.
"Does your love for yourself know no bounds?"
"Absolutely none.”


If they wanted Adarlan's Assassin, they'd get her.

And Wyrd help them when she arrived.”


If they wanted Adarlan's Assassin, they'd get her.

And Wyrd help them when she arrived.”

Because she wasn't human, Chaol realized, gaping at her from where he still crouched over Fleetfoot.
No - she wasn't human at all.
Celaena was Fae.”


There was a poem scribbled at the top of the Ashryver family tree, as though some student had dashed it down as a reminder while studying.

Ashryver Eyes
The fairest eyes, from legends old
Of brightest blue, ringed with gold

Bright blue eyes, ringed with gold. A strangled cry came out of him. How many times had he looked into those eyes? How many times had he seen her avert her gaze, that one bit proof she couldn't hide, from the king?

Celaena Sardothien wasn't in league with Aelin Ashryver Galathynius.

Celaena Sardothien was Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, heir to the throne and righful Queen of Terrasen.”

If they wanted adarlands's assassin , they'd get her.
And wyrd help them when she arrived.
