Summary:
**A USA Today Recommended Series!**
What if Beauty was cursed, and the Beast was the only one who
could save her? Don't miss WITHERING ROSE, a dystopian romance from bestselling
author Kaitlyn Davis that reimagines the classic fairy tale of Beauty & The
Beast. This is the second book in Once Upon A Curse, a series of interconnected
stand-alone novels all set in the same fantasy universe.
"As the heat finally disappeared, I felt the bloom blossom in
the very core of my soul, a rose just like my name—a ticking clock hidden
behind a façade of beauty. From that moment on, my life would become a
countdown, and all I could do was wait and watch as the petals of time slowly
started to fall."
Omorose Bouchene has a secret—magic. There's only one problem. At
the age of seven, an earthquake struck, catapulting her into a new world. A
land made of skyscrapers and cell phones. Fast cars and fluorescent lights. A
land where magic isn't supposed to exist and anyone who wields it is the enemy.

REVIEWS for Gathering Frost!
"My favorite thing about this book is the action. Jade isn't a sleeping princess. She's the best fighter and so fierce in her "empty" state. I felt like this was an urban fantasy with all the steam of a romance, and it was almost perfect for me." - Jessie Potts, USA TODAY Happy Ever After Blog
"Davis writes with confidence and poise, and the story's many twists and turns stave off predictability and allow readers to become immersed in a starkly magical world filled with last hopes." - Publisher's Weekly
"Gathering Frost is just awesome in every way. Beautiful prose, lots of heart-wrenching emotion, action and romance, a great, unstoppable villain, and a smart, tough heroine who will fight for what she wants." - Geeks in High School
The writing is flawless as always and I must say, way to take a classic and make such a creative and wonderful twist to it...It's well thought out and it unbelievably magnificent. I seriously couldn't put it down. Wait I never actually put it down. I started and finished in one sitting because it's just that good. This one is a MUST READ." - Happy Tails and Tales Blog

My Review:
On the day the earthquake stuck Omorose Bouchene only seven
years old loses almost everything that she holds dear to her. Her home and life
as she knows it is ripped from her and she ends up in a place that she has
never been before; a place with fast cars and cell phones among other things. Omorose
and her father were on their way to visit a prince whom she is engaged to and has visited a couple of other times in her life.
Before she reaches the prince’s home the earthquake strikes
and she is in this new place called Earth and on this day she receives her
magic. She knows in that very instance that her mother and little sister are
both dead. Omorose’s magic has a secret attached to it one that she holds close
to her heart. This secret is the reason her father is always telling her not to
use her magic. He is afraid of losing her.
Magic is not allowed to be used on Earth and anyone caught
using it will be killed. So Omorose is taught by her father that she can’t use
her magic and risk being found out by the humans. But it is hard for Omorose
not use her magic even with knowing what it cost her.
One day Omorose decides she can’t take it anymore living amongst
the humans and hiding her magic so she confides in her father that she has to
leave and that she is going to find the Beast that everyone is so afraid of and
hopefully he knows of a way to break her curse so she can live a normal life
like everyone else.
Omorose has never had any friends and the only thing she has
ever really wanted was to be accepted for what she is. She has just wanted a
place to belong to or someone to belong too. She just wants someone to accept
her the way she is and for who she is.
Omorose has given her decision of leaving a lot of thought and has come to the conclusion that this is the only safest thing to do. She will head into the mountains to find the Beast that everyone is so afraid of and hopefully tame him into helping her if she can that is.

Will Omorose find the Beast? Will she find a way to break
the curse? Will she find the love that she is looking for? What will Omorose
find in the mountains? Will she finally be accepted for who she really is? Can
she find the peace that she is looking for? Will she survived the snow, cold,
frozen mountains and make it to find the Beast? What is in store for Omorose?
To find out all the answers pick up your copy of Withering Rose to find out. I don’t think you really have to read the first book Gathering Frost in the Once Upon a Curse before read the second book Withering Rose but I would definitely advise that you do so that you will understand more about Omorose and her curse and I know you don’t want to miss out on another fantastic story now do you? So pick up a copy of both books Gathering Frost and Withering Rose.

Both will grab a hold of you from the very first word and will
not let go until you have reached the end. The only thing that will come
between the two of you is that thing that is called life. Once Upon a Curse
will enthrall you from the very beginning to end. I can’t wait for the third book
in the series Chasing Midnight the classic fairy tale of Cinderella gets retold;
coming in 2017!
