Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to spotlight
and talk about the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read.
Generally they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on
Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. Another sequel this week, this time to a book that I really enjoyed last year, Glitter by Aprilynne Pike. I think I saw the e-galley pop up on Edelweiss last week, and so I’m very excited to read this sequel, or I guess I should say final book in the duology. Here is the blurb from Goodreads:
Breaking Bad meets Marie Antoinette in a near-future world where the residents of Versailles live like it’s the 1700s–this sequel to Glitter by #1 New York Times bestselling author Aprilynne Pike will leave readers shocked!
Danica planned to use beauty, blackmail, and a glittering drug to control her own fate. Her escape from the twisted world of the Palace of Versailles was perfectly orchestrated and paid for. Or so she thought.
Betrayed by the man who had promised her freedom, Dani is now married to the murderous King. It’s a terrifying position to be in…and yet it’s oddly intoxicating. Power may be an even stronger drug than Glitter–a drug Dani can’t resist, in the form of secrets, manipulation, and sabotage.
In her new position at the head of the court, Dani must ask herself who she really is. Can she use her newfound power to secure her real love, Saber’s freedom and a chance at a life together outside the palace? Or is being Queen too addictive to give up?

I haven't started this series, but it's always there in the back of my mind! I'll probably pick up the two books sometime…eventually! Haha. 😀 I hope you love it Lisa! Here is my WoW for the week!
Well, if you wait long enough you'll be able to read them back to back with no waiting in between. So that's always nice! Thanks for stopping by!
What an awesome cover! Hope you love it!
Thanks for visiting!
I haven't read anything by this author yet. It sounds interesting. And power can be like a drug indeed.
Thanks for stopping by!
"Breaking Bad meets Marie Antoinette"?! SOLD!
I'd never seen Breaking BAd, but I knew the premise, so it sold me on the first book! Thanks for visiting!
I haven't heard of this before, but it sounds cool! I might have to check out the first book!
You should do that! Thanks for stopping by!
Danica has me wanting to know more about her story. I want to know what she does with this newfound power. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for visiting!
Wow, that cover is eye catching! I haven't started this series, but it sounds good. I hope you get to read it soon:-)
Me too! Thanks for stopping by!
I haven't heard of this book before but it sounds great! I've never read anything by Aprilynn Pike but I've heard good things about her books! Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Thanks for returning the stop!
This looks quite good, and I still haven't tried Aprilyyne Pike yet *sigh*
YOu should remedy that soon! Thanks for stopping by!
i don't think I've heard of this series before. I love this cover and you pretty much won me over with Braking Bad meets Marie Antoinette!
That is what grabbed my attention for the first book too. Thanks for visiting!
I recently read Glitter and really loved it. Can't wait to read this one too. Great choice!
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who really enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping by!
Oh wow, you totally had me at "Breaking Bad meets Marie Antoinette." That is most definitely not a combo that you hear everyday! Great pick this week.
That's what got me for the first book. Thanks for visiting!
I remember looking at Glitter back when it released, but I never did pick it up. Perhaps at some point I will – and with its sequel releasing, it might be the perfect time to *finally* pick this one up! 🙂
Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland – and happy reading. 🙂
Since there are only going to be two, it might be smart to wait till both are out. Thanks for returning the visit!
I haven't heard of this book, although of course I've heard of Aprilynne Pike. She's supposed to be an AMAZING author, so I'm adding this novel to my Goodreads shelves. I NEED to know how this story pans out! And that cover….simply GORGEOUS!!!
Thanks for featuring this book! Thanks as well for commenting on my CWW post!! Sorry about the late comment….:( Have a GREAT week!! <3 <3 🙂 🙂
No problem on a late comment, I tend to be late sometimes when I comment back too. Glad you could make it over for a visit though!
