SYNOPSIS:
ROSE Frost receives a bracelet on her sixteenth birthday, a parting gift from her mother who claims it is a family heirloom. From that night Rose starts having vivid dreams and strange visions.
DAYS after, her family separate and Rose moves into her grandmother's house. Her dreams start to involve a woman called Halíka Dacomé. Is she a legend or a figment of her imagination?
DANGER strikes one night. Rose is first on the scene after she smells burning and discovers a car that has been purposely set on fire. She is convinced that the boy in her latest vision is inside the car. The mysterious Aiden Deverill pulls Rose to safety, but not before a window explodes and a ball of fire burns them both. She uses her secret healing gift to heal the scars and to all appearances remains unscathed.
But Aiden is free from burns too and Rose doesn't know why.
She is drawn to his alluring smile, his gorgeous dark looks and hypnotising blue eyes, but as they get closer her friends warn her off claiming that he's bad news.
Rose tries to find the truth about Halika Dacomé and more about why Aiden is so disliked, but she soon gets drawn into helping her friends solve the mystery behind the missing Warminster townsfolk. The latest missing person is her new friend Jez's father.
During the investigation she meets Morgan, a family friend of Daisy's who lives in the cottage at the bottom of Daisy's garden. He's kind, funny and clearly devoted to her, but Rose finds out that his hatred towards Aiden and his grandfather, Ben Deverill, lies rooted in a shocking event that happened years before involving both families.
For Rose, her new life is beginning but she soon realises that people are not always what they seem, and finds it difficult to determine who to trust.
What she always believed to be a happy family and a friendly town soon turns on its head when she discovers that her family secret, Aiden Deverill and the truth behind Halíka Dacomé is at the heart of the whole conspiracy.
REVIEW:
I was given this book as part of Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy Fanatics! read to review....
This book is so good!! It's a book that you just can't put down. It will keep you enthralled until the very last page and keep you up at night until you finish reading it!
Alexandra May has an easy to read and descriptive writing style. And she knows how to create suspense and romance!
Rose is an outspoken, strong and sassy girl who goes to live with her grandmother Daisy while her parents are away because of her father's 'dangerous' job. Not long after moving there she meets Aiden. Aiden is gorgeous and mysterious and Rose feels a deep connection to him. But everyone warns her to stay away from him because he is dangerous!! But Rose doesn't see that. He treats her with care and kindness...... And then there is Morgan. He tells Rose that she can trust him with anything. Rose finds herself having feelings for him. But it's different to how she feels for Aiden.
Then there is Rose's 'gift'. And how does Rose's haunting dreams and the legend of Halíka Dacomé fit into it all.
There is betrayal, lies and deception, romance and suspense. This book has it all and I can't wait to see where book 2 will take us.
