[Waiting On Wednesday: Princess of Thorns]

Waiting On Wednesday happens every week on Wednesdays (hence the name) and is hosted by Breaking The Spine.  It's were people talk about the books they want to read about that aren't out yet.

My pick this week is...

"Princess of Thorns"
Author: Stacey Jay
Release Date: December 9th, 2014

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:

 Game of Thrones meets the Grimm's fairy tales in this twisted, fast-paced romantic fantasy-adventure about Sleeping Beauty's daughter, a warrior princess who must fight to reclaim her throne.

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?

Aside from the fact that I can't stand the cover, this book sounds amazing!  I also love that it has a gender swap theme going on.  Female warriors hiding their true identity is a total win in my eyes.  Possibly because I have such a love for Mulan.  Can it be December yet?

What are you waiting on this week?  I wanna know!
