Blood Rose (Blood #1)

by Danielle Rose 

~Description~

There’s no wrath like that of a witch scorned.

As one of the only spirit users in her coven, Avah has been chosen to wield The Power, the ultimate weapon against the immortal vampire species witches have been at war with for centuries.

But on the night of her birth rite, Avah’s coven is attacked. Forced to seek refuge among the very beings she’s sworn to kill, Avah vows revenge on those who took her former life from her.

As Avah slowly transitions into a life of blood and war, she realizes everything she’s been told is a lie.

~My Review~

5 out of 5 Stars

I can’t even begin to express how much happened in this one book, and how much I loved every single minute of it!  If you think you’ve had a rough few weeks, I bet it doesn’t compare to the craziness that Avah faces in just a few weeks in this book!  As you read this, it truly is amazing that this much can happen to one person in such a short period of time, but it is written so well, that I have no problem believing it.  She simply had a really, really terrible thing happen to her that set off a rapid chain of equally sucky things happening.

The good news is it’s not ALL terrible for Avah, and the balance of good and bad events were really well done.  When finding out one huge lie about her life turns into a huge change and a series of revelations of who she is and what her future may hold, she handles it exactly as you would expect – a combination of angry, scared and feisty.  I loved it.  However, those that she is forced to now be with – that were her sworn enemies her entire life – turn out to be not so bad.  In THIS revelation comes the really good stuff.  I don’t want to spoil it, but I would say for sure that all the bad that happened to her that lead her to this part of her new life? TOTALLY WORTH IT.

I loved how many different levels of things were going on in this book, and how fast it made me read this book.  Avah is simultaneously learning about how much of her past was a lie, how vastly different her future will be, how to make new relationships with people she previously swore to hate, who she can really trust, and who she just can’t seem to stay away from, no matter how hard she tries.

By the time I was done with this book, I could not pick up book 2 fast enough! I read all 3 in a week – and would have faster, if life didn’t get in the way!  I can’t stress enough how much you should read this book – and the entire series.  It was a really great take on the supernatural, and how no matter what you’re taught, nothing is ever so black and white.
