Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases that we’re eagerly awaiting. I started seeing this book on other WOWs in March, and so had to add it to my schedule as soon as I could! I loved the first book, The Jewel, and got the ARC at BEA last summer when I met the author. So now I will be waiting even longer to read it I’m sure as I won’t get the ARC since I’m not going to BEA this year. Anyway, here is the blurb from Goodreads:
Violet is on the run. After the Duchess of the Lake catches Violet with Ash, the hired companion at the Palace of the Lake, Violet has no choice but to escape the Jewel or face certain death. So along with Ash and her best friend, Raven, Violet runs away from her unbearable life of servitude.
But no one said leaving the Jewel would be easy. As they make their way through the circles of the Lone City, Regimentals track their every move, and the trio barely manages to make it out unscathed and into the safe haven they were promised—a mysterious house in the Farm.
But there’s a rebellion brewing, and Violet has found herself in the middle of it. Alongside a new ally, Violet discovers her Auguries are much more powerful than she ever imagined. But is she strong enough to rise up against the Jewel and everything she has ever known?
The White Rose is a raw, captivating sequel to The Jewel that fans won’t be able to put down until the final shocking moments.
Sounds good and I can’t wait to find out what happens next! How about you? What are you waiting on this week?

I haven't started reading this series. I hope you enjoy reading this one!
My WoW
I really liked the first, so hoping to like the second as much. Thanks for stopping by!
Yes. I need this. I need to know what happens next! I think I might re-read the first book before starting this, though. That cover! Gorgeous! Great pick!

I loved getting the ARC at BEA last summer, I hate though when I want to continue a series with ARCs, but don't get to go to BEA to get them the next year. Thanks for visiting!
While I didn't love The Jewel, I did really enjoy it and after that ending I will definitely be reading The White Rose 🙂 Great pick!

I was pretty happy with it. And yeah, that ending!!! Thanks for stopping by!
Awesome pick! I've been dying to get into this series! Hopefully I can soon!
I really enjoyed it so I hope you can get it too! Thanks for visiting!
I haven't read the first but sounds good. Hope that you get a chance to read and enjoy it soon.
I liked it and it had a major big event at the end, and I have to know what happens next! Thanks for stopping by!
I haven't read the first one (there were a lot of mixed reviews for that one, weren't there?!) but I am such a sucker for these covers!
I do love these covers. Yeah, there were some mixed reviews, and I could definitely understand their points, but I still enjoyed the first and need to read on. Thanks for visiting!
I loved this one ten times more then The Jewel. Though I like the cover to The Jewel better. Great pick!

Ahhhhhhhh! I have an egalley of this one I think, I just really need the physical ARC to match my ARC of the first one. Glad to hear it lives up! Thanks for stopping by!
The Jewel wasn't my favorite, but I love the covers for the series. I hope you like this one! I might read it when I have the time. 🙂
Ariel @ Bookish Confessions
It wasn't the best of all that I read last year, but I still enjoyed it. And of course, loved the covers! Thanks for visiting!
The cover is pretty! I want to read The Jewel but haven't gotten to read it yet. Nice pick, Lisa! 🙂
Well, you might be able to wait and read them right in a row! Thanks for stopping by!
THIS COVER. Love!
I didn't read the first book – due to mixed reviews – but I would totally have these for the covers alone LOL
Totally love this kind of cover, especially when it fits the story. I enjoyed it, but did see the others who didn't. Thanks for visiting!
I'm really excited about this book too! Such a great series. Thanks for visiting my blog 🙂
I'm so jealous of all the people at BEA who got a copy of this! Thanks for returning the visit.
I'm not really a big fan of the cover but it sounds quite interesting! I haven't read the first book yet (although I planned on) but I guess it could be something for me as well! Great pick! 😀
Yvonne @ A World Between Folded Pages
It's an interesting dystopian story. I do highly recommend giving it a try. Thanks for stopping by!
Those covers always get my princess complex going, an internal swoony-gushing like you wouldn't believe. x) I haven't read The Jewel, the story didn't jump out on me that much, but I hope you enjoy the sequel!
My WoW
Oh yeah, same here with those covers! Thanks for visiting!
I do also like the cover of this one. There are a lot coming up in the mystery & suspense field. Rogue Lawyer by John Grisham (Oct 2015); The Murderer's Daughter by Jonathan Kellerman (Aug 2015); Speaking in Bones (Temperance Brennan, book 18) by Kathy Reichs (Jul 21, 2015). Wonder where they'll all fit in my TBR. 🙂

I've yet to read any of Kathy Reichs' books, but I love the show Bones. And I got to meet her last summer at BEA. Thanks for stopping by!
I just finished The Jewel, so I'm looking forward to this book too. 🙂
This was one I was sad to have to wait! But now I can't wait for it to come out. Thanks for visiting!
I can't wait to read this book, too! Loved the first book, and yeah, so lucky that this is up on Edelweiss, so I can read it sooner! Great pick! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
Glad I have it from Edelweiss, just wish I had the actual ARC still. Thanks for returning the visit!
