Alien vampires, genetically mutated humans and dystopian sci-fi thriller vibes? YES PLEASE!
The Rose series blends all of the most addicting genres into a fascinating, original story that successfully delivers an action-packed, creatively creepy and all things wonderfully thrilling.
The story begins at the end of World War III. The people of earth have signed a peace treaty with each other, just in time to battle against Alien Vampires whose war has just begun. But there are other motives in the works, enemies among friends, and a galactic showdown that could shake the cosmos and enslave humankind for eternity.
Speaking of vampires, this is not your typical cliche story. This series is full of originality, mashups, and unique twists to common sci-fi tropes. Although the book is fast-paced, the character development is extremely well done without giving us too much fluff or filler. I really enjoyed the side story of Cam and the crew, as well as the mystery of Robyn Winter and his connection to Phil. I also liked the alternating viewpoints of the main characters and the mystery behind The Rose’s origin. I can’t wait to see what’s next in Volume 2!
While the series offers a variety of genre options, I would best describe The Rose as a dystopian sci-fi horror, and is perfect for thrill seeking, alien invasion, government conspiring, blood thirsty book lovers. (Update: Read our review of The Rose Volume 2 here)
