The Syndicate by Shelena Shorts (Amazon)
For centuries, the Petrescu family has been protecting society from a danger that moves among the population undetected. Eighteen-year-old Vasi Petrescu has never had a problem carrying out his duty, but, when ordered to eliminate a seventeen-year-old girl, he is immediately taken out of his comfort zone.The Syndicate has never targeted a female before, yet somehow this one has ended up on more than one hit list. Vasi would like to find out why, but there may not be time.
Now, he'll have to decide whether or not to keep her alive even if it means going against his own family.
The action, mystery, and conspiracy in The Syndicate will take readers on an immersing journey in which decisions are not only life changing, but irreversible.
An assassin who’s a teenaged boy? Yeah, I’m reading that.
Entwined by Heather Dixon (Amazon)
Azalea and her younger sisters dance in the mysterious silver forest every night, escaping from the sadness of the palace and their father’s grief. What they don’t understand—although as time passes they begin to get an inkling of the danger they are in—is that the mysterious and dashing Keeper is tightening his snare with deadly purpose. Luckily, Azalea is brave and steadfast. Luckily, a handsome young army captain also has his eye on Azalea. . . . Lush, romantic, and compelling, this debut novel by Heather Dixon will thrill fans of Shannon Hale, Robin McKinley, and Edith Pattou.
When I was a young girl, I had Shelley Duvall’s Faerie Tale Theatre’s rendition of The Dancing Princesses on VHS (I just dated myself.). I watched that movie over and over and over. And can you imagine my delight when I found it on Hulu! Yes, I just watched it. I wanted to be one of the princesses. *giggles*
What’s on your wishlist?
Both of these are new books to me - but who can resist either assassins or princesses? :)

I have Sweet Evil on my wishlist too. I think I'm going to pass on The Selection; not into the Bachelor and I've heard it's similar to that.
