Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where
we spotlight upcoming releases that we’re eagerly awaiting. This week I
chose a book that is a sequel to another book that I really enjoyed. This is the sequel to an audiobook I listened to just recently, The Conspiracy of Us. I will definitely listen to the sequel, or read it. Not sure, whichever comes first? But I loved the first one, I went and bought a copy to keep on my shelf. You can click on the title link in this paragraph to go read my review of it. Now, here is the blurb for the sequel from Goodreads:
Two weeks.
That’s how long it took for Avery West’s ordinary life to change forever: In two weeks, she discovered she was heiress to a powerful secret society known as the Circle, learned her mother was taken hostage by the Circle’s enemies, and fell for a boy she’s not allowed to love, just as she found out another was her unwelcome destiny.
Now, Avery crosses oceans in private jets to hunt for clues that will uncover the truth about the Circle, setting her mom and herself free before it’s too late. By her side are both the boys: Jack—steady, loyal, and determined to help her even at the expense of his own duty—and Stellan, whose connection to Avery grows stronger by the day despite her best intentions, making her question what she believes at every turn.
But at the end of a desperate hunt from the islands of Greece to the red carpet at Cannes comes a discovery that not only changes everything, but could bring the whole world to its knees. And now Avery is forced to face the truth: in the world of the Circle, no one is what they seem.
So, have you read the first book yet? Does it sound like something you’d enjoy? What book are you anxiously awaiting this week?
While you’re here, I’ve got a couple giveaways you should go check out:
- Romance is in the Air Giveaway Hop – Choice of one of 9 of my favorite romances from the past year
- These Vicious Masks by Kelly Zekas and Tarun Shanker – finished copy of the book
I never read the original story but it has caught my eye in the past. I love it when I can see a sequel and immediately know what series it belongs too. Yes, I hate cover changes 🙂 Hope you love it!
I hate when they change covers! Especially when they do it for the very last book, which has happened a few times this past year. Thanks for stopping by!
The Conspiracy of Us was a bit of a slow read for me. I was intrigued by the circle story line though so I may pick up the sequel to see where that will lead.
I listened to it as an audiobook, and it did start out kind of slow I guess. But I got into it enough that by the end I really liked it! Thanks for visiting!
Wow, sounds so tempting! I haven't read the first one, but I'm sure you're going to love this one. Here's mine: “THE GIRL IN THE RED COAT”
I'm sure I will as well. The author has written some great characters as well as an exciting storyline! Thanks for stopping by!
new to me but sounds good and hope that you get a chance to read it soon.
Me too! I see people with ARCs and I just think, GIVE ME!!!! 🙂 Thanks for visiting!
I haven't read the first book in this series. I hope you enjoy reading this book!
My WoW
It's an interesting story! I hope I can get ahold of it soon! Thanks for stopping by!
I love this cover! And this series seems interesting, but I haven't read it yet.
It's a fun conspiracy theory/ancient organization controls everything type of book. And lots of world history mixed in! You should give it a try. Thanks for visiting!
Nice cover, and secret society plus Greece and France… sounds good to me. 🙂
Yeah, the history and all the conspiracy stuff is great! You should check it out! Thanks for stopping by!
I haven't read anything by this author before but this book sounds great. And the cover is beautiful! I hope you love it once you get a chance to read it.
The first one in the series was my first for this author. It was a good surprise! Thanks for visiting!
I have an ARC of book one but never read it! I like the covers but I am 100% sure that these books are not for me (given the love triangle I keep hearing about). I hope you enjoy it when you read it, Lisa!

Ah, that's too bad. The love triangle doesn't seem like it's really going to be a love triangle, as one of the guys even says it is just to get the power, and the girl knows that is all. But it might change in this sequel. Who knows! Thanks for stopping by!
Great choice !! I love the cover, it is quite pretty. I should start on this series… I hope you will love this book !
The covers are both striking so far, but I kinda like this one being more pink. 🙂 Thanks for visiting, and you should definitely give this a try!
I hate to admit I've not seen this one before. Gosh I love all the pink on the cover!! Definitely adding this one to my TBR list. Thanks so much for sharing!!! Love finding new books to add.
Make sure you read the first one! But yeah, love the cover of this one so much! Thanks for stopping by!
I haven't read the first book in this series, but it sounds very interesting!
There's a lot to the series, it is definitely interesting! Thanks for visiting!
This is a new author to me. The series sounds great. I hope you are able to get it soon. 🙂

Great pick Lisa! I haven't read the first book yet but I did hear some pretty good reviews about it. And it really looks and sounds like an amazing and awesome book. Thank you for stopping by my blog. 🙂
It was one I'd been interested in for awhile. And was a great audiobook to listen to. Thanks for returning the visit!
I still need to read The Conspiracy of Us! I heard so many good things about it.
You definitely should! It was very good! Thanks for stopping by!
I really need to check out this series soon! Definitely heard a lot of great things, hopefully book 2 is also awesome! Thanks for sharing (:
