While Cin tries to help Coltan with the new reality of his life, a host of surprising complications crop up which take them both on a journey of self-discovery. With the help of a mysterious ally, Cin and her friends embark upon a quest to find a magical object known as the golden apple. It’s said that whoever possesses the apple is granted one wish. Figuring out where this legendary item is … located won’t be the hard part. Discovering how to get there and surviving the journey to its resting place may end up costing Cin more than she bargained for.
After tragedy strikes the city of Briardale, a new adversary rises from the ashes and threatens to destroy everything Cin loves. Not only will Cin have to rely on the other Thorns to help her protect the city from this new foe, but she’ll also have to trust her new angelic friends to guide her to her destiny. As if all of this wasn’t enough, Cin must also learn how to balance both duty to the Thorns and love for a man she can no longer view as her enemy.

This is the second book in Circle of the Rose Chronicles and it was incredible! S. J. West has created a unique new retelling of Cinderella bringing together a dynamic group of characters with real personalities that the reader can relate too. Cin and the gang are on an adventure to find the Golden Apple which they think can grant one wish. To awake Briar Rose which they hope will free the city. The story captivates your attention right from the beginning full of drama, danger, suspense and emotion. I can’t wait to read book three.
Sj does it again. Book to in cins story is so amazing so many twists n turn u dont expect.. Way to go sj this seires is a must read
The end of this book had my mouth hanging open! I didn’t see that coming at all! What an adventurous story! Adventure! A coming romance and bad-ass heroine. If you love fairytales with a twist then this is the book and series for you.
This is the 2nd book of the series so far! The adventures are here to continues in the search for a way to awaken Briar Rose. I love almost all of the other fairy tales made their way into the books so far! The twists and turns are real! Lol I now need book 3, and I need it NOW! Go ahead and one-click these books today! You won’t regret it!
Yet again SJ West did not disappoint with book 2 in this series! I found this book to be even more edge of your seat than the first. I love the character of Cin and her friends. This modern day retelling of fairytales is done in a way that makes you appreciate the mythology but also enjoy the fresh new take. My only complaint is that it ended on a major cliffhanger and I cant wait for the next one!
I am always nervous about reading a second book in a series. So many times, I am disappointed because the plots and characters fall short of the wonders of the first book. Well that IS NOT the case here. The author does a fantastic job keeping the plot and characters just as interesting! Once Again, I feel into the Briardale world and just when I think I have it figured out, bam, a new twist to some of my favorite fairy tales! I highly recommend reading this series if you like twisted versions of the classic fairytales!
Cin and her friends are forced to accept some major, life altering truths about themselves as they try to awaken Briar Rose. New foes and new fairy tales are introduced to Cin’s world and the ride is wild!
S j. West draws you into a magical world Cin and her friends are on a journey to fly in the golden apple there was definitely some twists and turns that I so didn’t expect with one of Cin friends but I won’t give it away! Then we have Prince Colton he is such a sweet sweet guy and so good to send I really hope they’re able 2 be together I cannot wait for the next book they are so good this series is very hard to put down once you pick it up!
Oh my wow! Just when I though things couldn’t get any better they did! I couldn’t put this book down. I seriously cannot wait for the next book to find out what is next for Cin and the gang!
S.J. does another fantastic job on Cin d’Rella and the Golden Apple.
Cin is absolutely fantastic. I was enthralled from the very first page. Definitely kept me on my toes and had to really pay attention, as the story moves quickly! The store gets more in detail about the characters and their lives, provide answers to questions previously asked. Definitely one roller coaster ride for my emotions! I really loved this book and can’t wait for the next in the series!!!
WOW! I knew the author was going to retell the story somehow, but WOW! The author has a way of taking what you know and twisting it into a whole new story that you can’t put down! Just when I thought “I got it” the rollercoaster ride began and didn’t stop until the last page when I couldn’t believe the ride ended and I got right back in line for the next book in the series, waiting impatiently!!!!
Cin has learned a lot in a very short time! Loved book 1 in this series, and book 2 wasn’t a disappointment. I love all the twists that make it hard to put down. It’s nice to run across a series that you can feel comfortable recommending to anyone, no matter their age or your relationship. Can’t wait to read book 3!
Wow! This was such a great book to follow the first one. I really enjoyed reading this one. There were many twists and turns that I did not see coming. Some were very shocking! I cannot wait until the next book comes out. I am definitely left wanting more!
Great book! Super fun and easy to read. Cannot wait till book number 3 comes out.
Book 2 takes up on a roller coast ride of an adventure and for anyone who gets attached to the characters they read about will get a roller coaster ride of emotions from this book. Cin being a Thorn, is on a quest to save her world and finds out it’s bigger than she originally knew and a whole lot more complicated. I loved the second book and I can’t wait for the next!
Wow! This second book in the Circle of the Rose series is spell-binding! I love the characters and forget that this is a retelling of the fairy tales I grew up hearing. Cin is a well-developed character and revealed secrets abound in this story. Great ending! – even though it is a cliffhanger of great magnitude. SO many possibilities of how this story will continue. Looking forward to the continuing escapades of Cin and her friends.
Just loved the 2nd book in this series. Cin and Coltan are so cute together. Gretel has her questions answered. Great ending and cannot wait to read the next book in the series!!
This book was nothing short of AMAZING! I read it in a single sitting. Cin continues on her quest to awaken Briar Rose, with the other thorns by her side. We get to learn more on their back stories in this sequel, (with some surprising answers!), which I loved. This one leaves us with just enough questions almost answered to have me on pins and needles, already impatient for book three.
Wow! The effort put into these books is phenomenal! The back story behind “the sleeping” Princess is so very unique and well thought out. All the pieces to the puzzle are starting to fit together and I cant wait! We finally get a peek into Cin’s parentage and how special she truly is. Bomb drop when it comes to Colten. They are so close to ending the curse. All the secrets coming to light will leave you flabbergasted. Throw in a seriously wicked and strong mage and you have one hell of an adventure. It seems like Cin is finally trusting her friends and her feelings for Colten more. I do not trust Commander Ford, shes looking might suspect. Major cliffhanger at the end.
