Waiting on Wednesday: A Wicked Thing by Rhiannon Thomas

A Wicked Thing by Rhiannon Thomas
Release date: February 24, 2015
Publisher: Harper Teen
Reading level: Young Adult
Genre: Fantasy
Links: Author's Website/Goodreads
One hundred years after falling asleep, Princess Aurora wakes up to the kiss of a handsome prince and a broken kingdom that has been dreaming of her return. All the books say that she should be living happily ever after. But as Aurora understands all too well, the truth is nothing like the fairy tale.
Her family is long dead. Her "true love" is a kind stranger. And her whole life has been planned out by political foes while she slept.
As Aurora struggles to make sense of her new world, she begins to fear that the curse has left its mark on her, a fiery and dangerous thing that might be as wicked as the witch who once ensnared her. With her wedding day drawing near, Aurora must make the ultimate decision on how to save her kingdom: marry the prince or run.

I love, love, love fairy-tale retellings and Sleeping Beauty is one of my favorites. I can't wait to see how Rhiannon Thomas reimagines Aurora's story.

Waiting on Wednesday Is Hosted By: Breaking the Spine
