BRIAR ROSE------pan macmillan
For Briar Rose, life is anything but a fairy tale. She's stuck in a
small town in deepest Georgia with parents who won't let her out of
their sight, a bunch of small-minded, gossiping neighbours and an evil
ex who's spreading nasty rumours about what she may or may not have done
in the back of his car. She's tired of it all, so when, on her
sixteenth birthday, her parents tell her that she is cursed and will go
to sleep for a hundred years when the clock strikes midnight, she's
actually kind of glad to leave it all behind. She says her goodbyes,
lies down, and closes her eyes .
And then she wakes up. Cold, alone and in the middle of the darkest, most twisted fairy tale she could ever have dreamed of.
Now Briar must fight her way out of the story that has been created for
her, but she can't do it alone. She never believed in handsome princes,
but now 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.
