Review #30: Rose Blossom by Renee Travis




Rose Blossom by Renee Travis

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


While reading Rose Blossom by Renee Travis, please shut all your thoughts and opinions about Twilight series aside, because the author, has profoundly mentioned that she has penned down this story, even before Stephanie Meyer's Twilight has got published. So out of respect, Please Do Not Compare This Book to Twilight Series. It was a mere coincidence that both the stories are quite similar. Let's talk about Rose blossom; it's very beautiful, romantic and quite scary too!

A 17year old girl, Rhodanthe Watson, was diagnosed with a rare heart disease and a quite deadly one too at a very tender age. The doctors have already chalked out her life-plans for her and her over-protective mother makes sure, that Rhodanthe follows through all very strict rules and regulations, thereby making Rhodanthe's life boring and miserable. But in her senior year, she develops a crush for a very mysterious guy named, Julian. And instantaneously, all of a sudden, her dream comes true, when Julian asks her out, followed by the Homecoming Dance. Slowly, Rho got a feeling that Julian is mysterious as well as different and soon her doubt becomes a reality. Along with her boyfriend, she decides to change herself. But her plan gets messy and scary, when she got abducted by a jealous lover! Read it to find out more.


Reading this story, made me sure that the author is quite proficient. The romantic angle that the author has portrayed is quite sweet and very striking. All the characters are quite noteworthy. Rhodanthe, a.k.a, Rose is portrayed as a physically weak teenage girl, but she is one hell of a brave girl, not giving a second thought while stepping into a house full of vampires. And Julian turns out to be a perfect boyfriend cum monster, who is equally caring as well as deadly.

The best part about the book is that the behavior of the vampires is entirely different from what we read in Twilight or what we see in The Vampire Diaries. And I really loved how the author has distinctly and uniquely explained those aspects. Moreover the dialogues are quite engrossing and you can't stop until you get to know what happens with Rhodanthe.

Only disappointment would be that the plot is way too predictable, way too cheesy at times, way too flat, and has a very uninteresting climax.

P.S. The book cover picture is quite remarkable and eye-catching, which intrigues you to open the first page of the book.

Thanks to the author for giving me an opportunity to read and review her book.
