Where Roses Rot #2
Glitter Rose
She survived by being invisible. He made her want to be seen.
Paris survived the end of the world with glitter eyeshadow, designer combat boots, and a katana. Alone in her penthouse, she talks to kitchen appliances and hasn't spoken to another living person in over a year. Her invisibility to the walking dead makes her the perfect lone survivor.
Until Knox crashes into her world, bleeding and suspicious and everything Paris isn't: tactical, grounded, dangerous. What starts as reluctant first aid becomes something neither expected in a world where trust is a luxury few can afford.
But being invisible to the dead makes her visible to the living. The wrong kind of living. When her past catches up, everything Paris and Knox have built crumbles under the weight of old sins.
Perfect for readers who crave stranger-to-lovers intensity, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, forced proximity tension, found family bonds, a touch of dark, spice, and a heroine who proves that even the end of the world can't kill your shine.
A fast-paced standalone with an HFN, dual POV, and proof that love can bloom even when the world rots. Please make sure to check the content warning site.

Everyone needs glitter at the end of the world
How can this series have got better?! But it did!
Love the banter and Paris's character is great.
I couldn't put this down and laughed as so many points.
So many questions still on this series. Hope for book 3 to show more!

Paris has always lived like a princess — homeschooled, sheltered, and oh, completely 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 to zombies. 👀 When the apocalypse hit, she spent an entire year surviving alone — chatting with her pots, telescope, plants (😭), trusty katana, and glittery eyeshadows ✨ just to stay sane.
She’s quirky, chaotic, and absolutely endearing — and through her binoculars, she often spots this mysterious Hot Guy taking down zombies like it’s just another Tuesday. Until one day, fate 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘴 him into her life when he falls from a nearby fire escape. 💀
Their connection is instant — full of banter, tension, and that spark that feels both effortless and intense. Knox sees something in Paris that no one else ever did. He trusts her completely, believes her words without hesitation, even after learning what her last name is known for. The way he sees the good in her and chooses her anyway? My heart. 🥹
What follows is a fast-paced, emotional insta-love story that never feels rushed. It beautifully ties up the threads from book one while bringing in chaos, warmth, and heart. I felt so bad for Minji (she didn’t deserve that 🥺), and I wish there was more of Gavin and Sophia — but overall, Glitter Rose is a satisfying, heartfelt sequel filled with tenderness, survival, and love blooming in the most unlikely place. 🌹

I thought I loved book one but book two had me in a chokehold!! I read this in a day - couldn’t put it down!! Paris is such a fun FMC and I loved how different she was than other FMCs I have read. And let’s not forget Mr. Hot Guy MMC! Gosh I loved these two and I loved this book!

2.5 stars. A little insta lovey (the first 8 days are covered in a paragraph or two then they're both fighting feelings, despite him getting over his dead ex). We don't see their feelings develop at all before they're there. It was especially jarring with the MMC because he's telling us about his fiancee who died at the start of things a year ago, and then he's kissing the FMC wanting to sleep with her. The issue was that we only saw his POV very few times in the story, so we went from:
1) not trusting her, to
2) wanting to sleep with her, being totally captivated by her, to
3) idk if I can trust her enough to invite her to my home/compound, immediately to:
4) Either you're coming with me or I'm staying with you forever.
All of these came out of nowhere because the changes behind those thoughts weren't built up enough.
There's also a huge time jump 3/4 of the way through, and a quick rescue after that. It all felt a little surface level at that point.
Aside from that, the book was good. The spice was good, the setup interesting. The FMC was a nice change of pace in character. The MMC was a little of anything the author needed at the moment, but he was also attentive and sweet so I'll accept it. 😅
Ends on an HFN, but it's a zombie romance, it kind of has to.
---
Did I save his life or complicate mine beyond repair?
“When everything’s ugly, beauty becomes rebellion.”
“Fuck the romance novels.” He crawls back into bed with me, mattress dipping under his weight. “They don’t tell you how fucking terrifying it is when you actually care."

Let's start this off with the honest truth.
I avoided this book because in my ridiculous head I thought this was going to be zombie smut and it was not. So let's clear the air there.
Ok, so
Spice 🌶 🌶
Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really enjoyed this book. It has a great way of connecting you to the characters. A fun and detailed enough story so you can see it in your head. The characters are solidly built and described and if this was a movie I would pay to see it.
The romance is cute but not cheesy and doesn't over take the story.
It's not an overly told, beat to death zombie story.
A well written story that follows a young girl as she incidentally meets another survivor who tries to use her fire escape and fails. A story of survival, loss and building a future - with some hiccups.
I highly recommend this book!

I’ve rated this book based on the CAWPILE method. This book averaged 5 stars.
CHARACTERS- 10/10
Characters are great. Banter great.
ATMOSPHERE/SETTING- 10/10
The setting was described beautifully and the whole vibe was great.
WRITING STYLE- 10/10
Love the writing style, not super wordy but very easy to get through.
PLOT- 9/10
Plot is great, my only complaint is that there’s a certain part where there is a time skip that I think should’ve been written fully.
INTRIGUE- 10/10
100% wanted to know what happened. Found it hard to put down.
LOGIC/RELATIONSHIPS- 8/10
Much like the first book in this series, I felt the characters moved a little bit too fast, which took away some of the believability for me.
ENJOYMENT- 9/10
I would’ve preferred this book to be more drawn out and for the love story to be a little more slow burn, just so it could feel a bit more realistic. But altogether I really enjoyed it anyways and I’d love to grab a physical copy for my shelf.

I REALLY enjoyed this one! Set the same as Glass Rose, just a year-ish later. Casual mentions of characters from the previous book, but you aren't left completely confused if you didn't read it.
Paris is a sweetheart and I loved her character. She's practical and yet where's glitter make up. Just because the world went to s**t doesn't mean you have to look like it. She's resourceful and her comebacks to Knox were making me laugh so much.
It was a nice dynamic twist with Knox being injured when they meet and she's the one to take care of him. I liked that we heard about enough of Knox's background to be fairly satisfying. Not opposed to more, but definitely made understanding him easier.

I received this as an ARC. I read the previous book in this duet, Glass Rose. This is set in the same universe and we do see familiar characters. This was better than book one and I loved that one. Paris is amazing and I love her glitter and quirkiness. Telly and Bino agreed! Pair her with ‘hot guy’ and it gets more interesting from there.

I think she wears glitter im not sure tho

I loved the first book in this series and I was really looking forward to this book releasing! I know that this book was going to focus on new characters but set in the same world as the first book! After reading, I can say that I really enjoyed this book! I felt like it had a bit of a different vibe to the first book, but then it all connected to the first book and made sense! The plot only took me a few sittings to read because I didn’t want to put it down! There was a lot of romance in the plot and I loved the way it developed! The characters helped and looked after each other! The romance allowed for some very steamy scenes between the main characters too! There was also some action and suspense in the plot, but not a lot of scenes with zombies in them! I do wish there had been more zombies in the book, but there was enough going on in the plot to keep it interesting! The characters were also amazing and made this book even better! Paris was the main female character, and she was alone in the zombie ridden world and had survived in her penthouse by herself! I loved Paris and she wanted some normality with her glitter eyeshadow and talking to her appliances as if they would answer back! Paris was hiding a big secret that changed everything and she was a strong character! Knox was the main male character and love interest of Paris! I found Knox to be such an intriguing character and I wanted to know more about him! Knox was protective of Paris and he wanted her to be safe! Knox also cared a lot about Paris and he didn't make fun of her for talking to appliances! I liked him a lot and he had also experienced a loss that changed him! The majority of this book was written from Paris’s point of view, but some chapters were written from Knox’s point of view! I was hoping that this book was going to be written this way because the first book was written from dual point of view, but the synopsis does gives the impression that it might only have been written from Paris’s point of view! I loved that it was written from both characters point of views because it helped me connect more with Paris and Knox and see their feelings for each other develop! It allowed for a lot more things to happen in the plot as well, which helped as the characters didn’t do everything together and they both were going through their own situations! I now can’t wait to read the next book in this series! I obviously know nothing about it nothing has been revealed yet, but I can’t wait to learn all about it and read it once it releases! I also love the cover for this book and how well it matches the cover for the first book! It suits the feel of the book and it would draw me to the book if I hadn't already read the first book!

This is the second book of the series and I loved it! Paris has lived in the apocalypse on her own for over a year. With just her appliances and garden keeping her company, she talks to them as if they were real. She follows what happens to the world below from her penthouse and sees a man that goes to her part of the neighborhood for rations. All of a sudden, the man she's been following for months falls into her life.. literally. She hasn't communicated with another human for a long time. Can he be trusted? Or will she be making a mistake?
Knox is a survivor that has lost everything in his life. He lives in a community with other people and helps by going out to look for rations. While looking for a place to stay for the night, he takes a fall and winds up hurting himself badly. He gets help from an unlikely source that practically carries him inside an abandoned apartment complex. When he realizes it's a woman, he becomes mesmerized by her glittery eye shadow. But can he trust her with his life? And who does she talk to when she thinks he isn't listening? Is there someone else in the penthouse with them or is it just his concussed mind playing tricks on him?
This is a great story about learning to trust someone, romance and telling truths about their lives. I received an ARC for free and am leaving a review voluntarily.

TOO CUTE!! I adored the heroine!!
Went into this blind and I couldn't have picked a better gem. GLITTER ROSE was better than the first book that just reeked of insta-love. While this had a nice attraction going on, the characters were VERY likeable.
You can't hate on a beautiful, awkward heroine who is self-sufficient and oh, so alone in the apocalypse. I liked how PARIS talks to herself and gives names to inanimate objects. I can see why or how KNOX fell so easily for her. In a fucked up world where hope's lost, PARIS was the embodiment of it. There was life within her despite the bleak existence.
For once, the damsel saves the white knight and I fucking loved it! I wouldn't have minded this to be a longer novel, I felt sad when I reached the end. I want moreee!!
OVERALL this is a nice and cute zombie apocalypse romance to binge on. It doesn't have a complicated plot, has a good, lovey-dovey romance going on with characters that grow on you and a beautiful cover to appreciate.

Glitter Rose absolutely devoured me (pun fully intended). This author somehow blends grit, gore, and glam into a story that feels both wildly chaotic and deeply addictive.
First off—can we talk about the chemistry? It’s not just “oh they’re attracted to each other,” it’s “we might die tomorrow so let’s burn the world down together tonight.”
What really hooked me, though, is how the story balances survival with identity. The main character doesn’t just fight to stay alive—she fights to stay herself in a world that’s constantly trying to strip people down to their most desperate instincts. There’s something weirdly empowering about watching someone refuse to lose their shine, even when everything around them is rotting.

Glitter Rose” by Gigi Vale
Series: Where Roses Rot Book 2
Genre: Dark Romance
POV: Dual
Rating: 4⭐️
Spice: 3🌶️
Darkness: 5🩶
Highlights:
🖤Virgin FMC
🖤Ex Soldier MMC
🖤Zombies
🖤Evil Conglomerate Bad Guys
Thoughts:
I loved this post apocalyptic romance. It had intrigue, suspense, jump scares with zombies and the medium burn of two lost souls finding love during an apocalypse. I liked the extra spicy bits that were popping up between the characters. And most of all I thought Paris was a quirky fun character with a lot of spirit.

Didn’t think you could beat book 1 but here we are!
Received this ARC immediately after Glass Rose and finally got to reading it. I didn’t think I could like another couple more than Sofia and Gavin but Knox and Paris were so cute. Their banter was everything to me! I only wish this book was longer I could’ve read about these two for 200 more pages 🥹🩷
Thanks Gigi and booksirens for allowing me to ARC read this 🩷

Outside of this couple having a lot more banter, this felt much too similar to the previous book.
Unfortunately Minji’s side plot stood out to me more than anything else and it barely had any real development. Also everything we learned or that was hinted at in the previous book wasn’t followed up on which was disappointing.

Great zombie apocalypse romance!
I really enjoyed this book, good plot apocalypse vibe and spicy romance. If it had been longer I would have loved it more but tge author seems to be writing more books so I'll get my fix. I started the series with this book but now I definitely want to go back to the first. I'm an obsessed claire kent fan and I recommend this book!

3.5!! enjoyable, i was beginning to think this book might’ve plateaued but then a twist happened and it was interesting. it was fun. i wish the pacing was a bit slower, felt like we were speed walking thru important parts that i would’ve enjoyed strolling thru. but i enjoyed this apocalyptic romance

If you,re going to write zombie apocalypse romance, at least make it somewhat believable 🙄
Romance felt too rushed and on top of that they're eating strawberries and apples and sleeping in clean sheets… There's supposedly no water and no electricity. On top of that I read a similar storyline not so long ago (daughter of the mad scientist who started the apocalypse)
Big fat NO FOR ME !

The romance ruined the story :D

This was good but not exceptional. It’s a bit funny and cheeky and not that intense. Overall worth reading!

Really fun quick read, the story was really cute and intriguing in how it connected to the larger plot within this series!
August 11, 2026
I accidently read these out of order and did not even notice!
This was such a unique romance set in a zombie romance.
The fact that the MMC is so understanding of the FMC's quirks made my bitter little heart grow a few sizes.

the author definitely has a thing for nightmares and territorial men
October 23, 2025
I love a princess in the apocalypse type story. Especially when the MMC doesn't want her to change.
That's what this story serves and I enjoyed it. The only thing that really brought down my rating was some of the dialogue. Some the dialogue felt a bit cheesy/clunky and she lost me when she had 'sassy' dialogue. But the moments between Paris and Knox were so sweet. I liked this story more than the first in this series. I am glad I picked it up and look forward to more from this author.

Quick question: What happens when a woman who's spent 400+ days talking to her telescope meets a guy who falls off her fire escape? (Spoiler: it's not boring.)
This isn't your typical "we met cute at the coffee shop" romance. It's more like "we met when you fell off my building and I had to stitch your head back together." The stakes are life and death, and yes, there are definitely some very steamy moments.
Heads up: This book has stranger-to-lovers, morally complicated family members, some genuinely intense scenes, and a heroine who will absolutely gut someone if they threaten her man. Also, there may be tears. Happy ones, but still.
Bottom line: It's a fast-paced love story set in the zombie apocalypse, with extra glitter.
