Newish Book: Briar Rose by Jana Oliver

Briar Rose by Jana Oliver is a new, not new book, released in the US earlier this year. Confused? Well, the book was released in the UK in 2013 but was just released in the US this past May. So it is a new book for the US, but not the UK. Usually when this happens, the cover gets an update, but as you can see above, that didn't happen this time either.

Book description for US edition:

Happily ever after might not be possible in this dark and sexy retelling of a modern day Sleeping Beauty

Briar Rose believes in fairy tales . . . and now, because of a family curse, she’s living one. Doomed to fall asleep for 100 years on her 16th birthday, Briar has woken up in the darkest, most twisted fairy tale she could ever have dreamed of, miles away from the safe, boring small-town life that she has left behind. Briar must fight her way out of the story, but she can’t do it alone. She always believed in handsome princes, and now that she’s met one, her only chance is to put her life in his hands, or there will be no happy ever after and no waking up.
