REVIEW:

Whilst on sick leave, Detective Bailey Simmons finds a young woman battered and left for dead in the Florida Everglades, in what appears to be a case of mistaken identity.

With the attacker still not identified, Katya leaves the hospital. Too afraid to go back to her own home, she accepts Bailey’s invitation to stay with him while she fully recovers. Katya and Bailey inevitably begin to fall for each other, but having both been hurt in the past neither tells the other how they really feel, and their lives spiral into familiar patterns of jealousy, deceit, betrayal, and violence, all of which revolve around Detective Peyton Moran, who has already stolen one woman out from under Bailey’s nose.

When Katya flees from Bailey’s house to her new apartment after humiliating herself by declaring her love for him, things take a sinister turn for the worst. Is it all over for Katya and Bailey? More importantly is it all over for Katya?

This was a well written story, which at times had my heart thudding in my chest, and at others had me grinding my teeth with frustration that they didn’t just get on with it.

If you enjoy a bit of romance, a bit of a thriller, and a bit of intrigue, this is the book for you.

REVIEW:

Emily Knolls leads a boring life. She’s fed up with the same routine day after day. Work—which is unfulfilling, and then home—which is lonely and drab. She even dislikes her name. A friendless woman, she wishes things were different. She gets calls from her family, but sometimes that just isn’t enough. About to get into the bath on yet another boring evening, she is startled when the doorbell rings. No one rings her bell! No one ever calls round. Her neighbours are indifferent to her existence.

To her surprise, the person at the door is a delivery man. He has a parcel for her. Red roses and a sinister note. The next day another package arrives. Red roses, though marginally less fresh than those of the day before. Another package arrives, and then she receives a phone call—creepy.

Two more packages arrive, along with other notes. Emily calls the police. At this point The Black Rose got sinister and downright uncomfortable, yet I felt the need to read on. More phone calls… I get freaked out when reading of silent calls, but the caller speaks, and this scene disturbed me. I’m glad I wasn’t reading at nighttime!

Emily forms a bond with the policeman that arrived to take the details of the sinister packages. Her stalker phones, letting her know he knows what she’s been doing. Honestly, this is such a creepy story!

I won’t give any more away, as at this point The Black Rose takes a twist and turn that had me on the edge of my seat. I got goose bumps and shivers. I know if I had read this last night I would have quite honestly been frightened.

If you like a creepy tale, enjoy being freaked out of your wits, then The Black Rose is the book for you.

Shudder!
