This one just didnt work for us. The reader didnt get far enough into it for us to feel comfortable giving it a review.

I loved everything about this book , can't wait until I read more this author

I was excited to read this because it sounded promising but overall I ended up being disappointed, The plot was interesting but I ended up unimpressed, also the main character seemed plain and uninteresting. I'm sorry that I didn't like this book more.

I started Rose Petal Graves a few days ago. I was intrigued by the cover and the blurb and started reading right after I received the copy from Netgalley. I liked the idea of ancient battles between men and faeries and the love story that had been promised.

As I started reading, I soon realized that Cat, the main character was really lost in the world which had revealed itself after th tragic death of her mother. I enjoyed that Rose Petal Graves was a family story. She and her father have a very close relationship. In fact, the whole town seems to have close ties with everyone basically.

I liked that the story was progressing fast and there was never a boring par to this book. Unfortunately, the characters were rather flat in my opinion. There was hinted at a lot of tension between different people and groups, but usually, they were only mentioned in passing which was a shame. I would have like to get to know the characters better.

The romance-y part seemed kind of forced in the beginning because suddenly, there was a kiss and then for a long time nothing. It was a little weird.

The writing style was not to my liking because I don't enjoy reading a book where everything important is conveyed through two characters speaking. I really liked the ideas the author had but I have to say that I did not enjoy the story a lot. I have two stars because I felt that I might be too harsh and the plot was cool.

I can recommend this book to everyone who likes sudden turns of action and doesn't mind characters being a little flat.

*I received this copy from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

I wanted to really like this one! I mean that cover is freaking amazing, but I did not like the mc at all. It also felt slow to me.

Wow! All I can say is WOW! I absolutely loved this book. It made me smile, cry and tugged so hard at my heart that it broke.

Enter the world of faes, faehunters and mystical powers. Enter Rowan.

Catori couldn't wait to leave Rowan, the town she grew up in. But when her mother died suddenly she goes back to be with her dad and bury her mom in the town cemetery, which just happens to be in her yard. When she arrives home she finds that things aren't exactly "normal". Her mom has a casket that she recently unearthed from the cemetery in the basement/morgue, but it is full of fresh rose petals.

To uncover the secrets of what is going on she will have to unearth the secrets of her lineage and do it quickly before others close to her die.

I received an advanced eARC from NetGalley.

Olivia Wildenstein’s book is an enchanting work that somehow managed to pull plenty of action and romance into one story of mythical proportions. If her fabulous, and well written storyline isn’t enough to make you fall in love with her, wait until you reach the climatic ending that will leave you drooling for her sequel.

Wildenstein has a real talent for vibrant and fast paced plot lines, detailed character development and picturesque imagery. She’s created this fantastic world of magic along with surprisingly realistic, multi-faceted characters that make the world around you melt away as you become surrounded with only what the author wants you to see and experience.

I loved her writing as she draws you in to the point that you feel the anguish and power emanating from her words in this poignant story about love and family. You just can’t ask for more than what Wildenstein gives.
