Six Roses. Six Vials Of Blood. Six Visits To A Vampire Who Could Be Her Salvation… Or Her Damnation.

I recently finished reading Six Scorched Roses by Carissa Broadbent. This is book #1.5 in the Crowns of Nyaxia series.

POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT

  Rating: 4/5 stars

"Lilith has been dying since the day she was born. But while she long ago came to terms with her own imminent death, the deaths of everyone she loves is an entirely different matter. As her town slowly withers in the clutches of a mysterious god-cursed illness, she takes matters into her own hands.

Desperate to find a cure, Lilith strikes a bargain with the only thing the gods hate even more than her village: a vampire, Vale. She offers him six roses in exchange for six vials of vampire blood–the one hope for her town’s salvation.

But when what begins as a simple transaction gradually becomes something more, Lilith is faced with a terrifying realization: It’s dangerous to wander into the clutches of a vampire… and in a place already suffering a god’s wrath, more dangerous still to fall in love with one."

There's no way this was a novella. While it was just 230 pages long, it read like a full novel and I loved every single minute of it like. Carissa really showed her writing style here and I won't take any criticism on it. She is a good author and she knows how to keep the audience engaged. I honestly still can't fathom how this book gave me all the feels while just being this short. I loved it.

Lilith, was not how I expected her to be- because of the name I thought she was a witch or a devil but she was the exact opposite. I love characters like her so much, they bring so much to the story and the romance and the way Carissa wrote it was incredible. Vale, the grumpy vampire was everything in this book. The way he fought for her and wrote letters to her and was just overall fascinated by her. Plus have you looked at him. He made me love this book even more so yeah I would definitely say go ahead and read it!

The romance was so good. It was so angsty and the tension between them was undeniable, their chemistry was undeniable and the spice was chefs kiss. The tension that was built up between them and the chemistry brewing between them definitely paid off!

The plot worked so well with this! At first I didn't really understand how it would work with this length but the way it was written it worked pretty well. I liked the whole blood thing and the reason behind it and the meddling gods and the ending??

Overall, it was such a fun novella and it's not in anyway connected to the first book so like definitely give it a go regardless of having read the first two books

Check out Six Scorched Roses, and discover what happens when you make a deal with a vampire.

Happy Reading :)
