review 1: I brought this book on release day and must say I was not disappointed.Roses at Dusk will certainly take you on a roller coaster ride, with twists, turns and mystery entwined within the pages and even a little bit of romance to curb that inner romantic. It’s a psychological thriller with a paranormal twist that will certainly have you on the edge of your seat or hidden within your room as the pages enfold. There will be certain characters on first sight that you will swoon after , and then after reading a chapter or two , you will be gobsmacked and even grossed out, or scared, at certain scenes put forth. I know I thought WTF and felt sorry for Hannah at many a moment. Can someone be loved too much? And the length that someone would do to keep you within arm’... mores reach? I was engrossed from the very start, however very surprised at the storyline that was put forth. IN A GOOD WAY! As dark as it comes across at times, I pulled the covers down and sped along at record breaking pace. This book gave me more than I could have imagined. CHILLS FOR SURE... LOL. I certainly do enjoy a story that is unique and different and definitely one of a kind. Roses at Dusk is certainly that ! M W Russell gives us a haunting, yet dark yet and mysterious tale that is not only alluring but downright scary in parts. In Roses at Dusk we see a darker side to fallen angels, and mysteries that you will want to be unleashed. I’m not going into the storyline with this review As I to want you to be as surprised as I was. I was slightly taken back in certain parts, cringing and gasping along the way, but also sheepishly grinning at a certain parts to.I enjoyed the banter between Felix and Hannah, the flirty yet wonderful friendship formed and also the twist that becomes about as well. Hannah formed new friendships and love and the author put this forth well. I liked all the characters within the story. However, even the darker ones you couldn’t help but sort of feel sorry for. To need something – so dark…. Its unjustifiable yet ……………. The relationships grew as the story progressed; we see different sides to all the characters as it the story unfolded. Some for better some for worse... Roses at Dusk will certainly have you raising your eyebrows, taken aback at many a scenes but it lures you in like a magnet to a piece of metal. The storyline is fluent flowiing and engrossing and will certainly pique your interest till the last page has been turned. I look forward to the next installment of this series, and recommend it to all who like a haunting tale, a bit darker than most but also Unique!
review 2: I picked this book up as I was looking for something in the thriller/horror genre, but quickly realised this is not the sort of book I would normally read. I couldn't help groaning when early on a devilishly handsome man comes strolling down the beach in tight jeans with his shirt undone, and I lost count of the number of times the term "devastatingly handsome" was used.That being said, I did find myself continually returning to the book to see how things would turn out. The main villain is suitably powerful and threatening, making it difficult to see how the heroine will ultimately triumph; and I think there are a lot of people who would enjoy the story of a woman trapped in a dangerous relationship with no obvious way out. I think anyone who liked the Twilight series will be entertained, although the content of this book seems more mature (I think Twilight spliced with Fifty Shades of Grey was what the author was going for).A few things let the book down for me. Most noticeably, there were many typos ("if" instead of "of," "passed" instead of "past," "like" instead of "liked," "nid-stride" instead of "mid-stride" - I spotted several in every chapter) and there were several sections where the paragraph formatting was wrong. There were also several areas where unusual phrases were evident in descriptions (such as a night a character cannot remember being described as "unforgettable"). I think it would pay for the author to give the work another proofread and tighten up the edit a bit more (easily done with a Kindle book), as it really will improve the book.I also found there were times where characters acted unrealistically. One character, after being assaulted, decides the best thing to do is forget about it and fall straight into the arms of the most likely suspect. Later on, the same character is fleeing for her life, but still goes in to work because she doesn't want to miss a business meeting she has scheduled.I am rating this book four stars because I think there is much to enjoy here for fans of the genre and I appreciate I am not the target audience. For anyone who thinks the Twilight books are a bit tame, this could be a winner. less
