"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Title: Princess of Thorns
Author: Stacey Jay
Expected Publication: December 9, 2014
Summary:
Though she looks like a mere mortal, Princess Aurora is a fairy blessed with enhanced strength, bravery, and mercy yet cursed to destroy the free will of any male who kisses her. Disguised as a boy, she enlists the help of the handsome but also cursed Prince Niklaas to fight legions of evil and free her brother from the ogre queen who stole Aurora's throne ten years ago.
Will Aurora triumph over evil and reach her brother before it's too late? Can Aurora and Niklaas break the curses that will otherwise forever keep them from finding their one true love?
Why I am lurking on this: I already have Juliet Immortal and Romeo Redeemed by Stacey Jay on my pile of retellings, and I am looking forward to this very much, although I didn't have time to read the others yet. But I have to say that I don't like this cover much...

For some reason I thought this one was out already and I was just behind reading it, lol. Definitely excited for this one though. I really should go Pre-Order my copy now that I'm thinking of it. Great choice!

I haven't read anything by Stacey Jay, but Princess of Thorns sounds really amazing. It reminds be little of Defy by Sara B. Larson, but it also has it's own kind of uniqueness, so I really hope we both end up liking it!
I've only read her Juliet Immortal (which I really liked) so have to get to her other retellings, but can't wait for this. 🙂

That cover is pretty hideous but I do like retellings. I'll have to check this one out when it's released. I haven't read/heard of many Sleeping Beauty retellings so that's cool!

I haven't read anything by this author before. I'm not really fond of this cover. I hope you enjoy this when you read it. Thanks for stopping by My WoW

This one does look good. I haven't read Jay's Juliet Immortal series, but I did read Of Beast and Beauty which was pretty interesting, so I'm looking forward to what she does with this story. And yes, the cover is a tad underwhelming... and awkward. Great pick!

I haven't read her Romeo and Juliet retellings but I have read Of Beast and Beauty and loved it! I don't really like the cover either :/ Definitely excited for this book though.

Yes! Love girls disguised as boy books. Also, I love that she is both gifted and cursed. Great pick

I've read a Stacey Jay book before. It think that was Juliet Immortal. I've liked it just fine.
I don't know about this one but I always like a good retelling.
Thanks for stopping by.

I love fairy tales retold so I may have to check this one out. I liked Juliet, Immortal.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Thanx for visiting my WoW!

I'm such a sucker for fairy tale retellings! I usually think Aurora is kind of boring but now there's all these awesome stories! Great pick, thanks for sharing (:
