Such a high fun adventure of a gender flipped Sleeping Beauty (where it's a prince that's asleep) and the girl needs to rescue him with a kiss.

Fi is a historian treasure hunter who pricks herself on the hidden Bone Spindle that put Prince Briar Rose under a sleeping curse. This circus hey to the price who she can't start seeing same talking to. But she has a hidden secret that she hasn't shared with anyone.

Shane is a girl on the run from her past who also treasure hunts. She keeps running into the mysterious Red who she starts falling for. She wields an ax like no one's business! She has to hide from and fight these witch hunters.

I loved every part of this! The action is crazy at times. There were too many (big) spiders for my liking though 😉 The way that Fi and Shane have to trust each other didn't start off well but at the end, they are both willing to die for each other.

The book has a great ending and I'm really excited for book 2!
