Glitter by Aprilynne Pike
A royal murder. The promise of a throne she never wanted. And a glittering drug that is her only way out.
Outside the Palace of Versailles, it’s modern day. Inside, the people dress, eat, and act like it’s the eighteenth century. The palace has every indulgence, but for one pretty young thing, it’s about to become a very beautiful prison.
When Danica witnesses an act of murder by the young king, her mother makes a cruel power play…blackmailing the king into making Dani his queen. When she turns eighteen, Dani will marry the most ruthless and dangerous man of the court. She has six months to escape her terrifying destiny. Six months to raise enough money to disappear into the real world beyond the palace gates.
Her ticket out? Glitter. A drug so powerful that a tiny pinch mixed into a pot of rouge or lip gloss can make the wearer hopelessly addicted. Addicted to a drug Dani can sell for more money than she ever dreamed.
But in Versailles, secrets are impossible to keep. And the most dangerous secret—falling for a drug dealer outside the palace walls—is one risk she has to take.

Seriously soooo many things speaks for me to get my hands on this... that cover! Seriously I am in love with it! The blurb! It sounds amazing. And it's Aprilynne Pike so yay!
I am getting this in a hardback one day and then I will stare at it for weeks before actually reading it 'cause that's how it goes.
Don't forget to check out Stephanie's post to find out what book(s) is driving her mad.
This book! ♥ It's the best Aprilynne Pike has written since Wings. It might even be even better than that!
