Rating: 4 Stars
This is NOT your dreamy vampire book. This is the dark side
of that life. This is the story of evil beings that take what they want and
enjoy it all the more if you show fear or weakness. I will admit that I
normally would not choose to read something so dark, but I was drawn in by the
beautiful writing style of Amy Miles. While the scenes were upsetting to read,
somehow I felt this would be, more than likely, a truer depiction of the
vampire life.
I felt for Roseline from the beginning, hoping, page after
page, for some light, some moment that would give Roseline (and myself) reason
to believe there was some good left in her life. The only reason I am giving
this 4 stars, instead of 5, is that there wasn't any hope for the first half of
the book, which was a little to long for me, as the reader, to be in such
despair. I guess I could look at it as just a way for the reader to feel the
despair Roseline was going through, but I found it hard to do and almost turned
away from an incredible book. I will being reading the next in the series
because I HAVE to know what happens next.
DESOLATE: Book 1 of the Immortal Rose Trilogy
