Cycle of a Rose
She wiped the blood from her lips, licked her fingers clean, and decided she rather liked the taste of this new life.
New Orleans pulses with life, but beneath its vibrant streets lurks something dark, something hungry. Rose is a young woman chasing freedom, craving adventure, and drawn to the city's shadows.
As she immerses herself in a world of art, music, and illicit desires, she discovers a seductive power simmering within her.
But the deeper she delves into the night, the harder it becomes to tell dream from nightmare, love from obsession, and hunger from something far more sinister.
In a city where secrets whisper through the alleys, Rose must decide—will she shape her own destiny, or be consumed by it?

Phenomenal
I found "Cycle of a Rose" by J. Harris & Matt Anderson to be very engaging. It starts off slow, but once it picked up, I couldn't put it down. It discusses addiction, loss, friendship, and love. Wayne lost the love of his life and turned to the bottle. Soon, the bourbon took over his life, even affecting his job. However, with the help of his friend and boss, Tony, he joined AA. Wayne believes he doesn't have a problem and doesn't want to be there, but he wants his job back, so he goes. There, he meets Rose, who he finds intriguing. Eventually, they exchange phone numbers and share texts. Then one day, they hang out at Wayne's place, and things didn't go the way Wayne thought they would.

I went into this book blind, no blurb, no excerpt, NADA. I was not prepared!! This is such a good thriller that it blew my mind. Rose is a women on a mission. She was made into what she is and has devised a way to continue her life. Unfortunately for her she messed with the wrong person. Wayne is beyond depressed and sees Rose as a bright light, when they suddenly disappear, Wayne's boss decides he needs to find him. What a wild ride through all the faces of Rose. Would def read these authors again!

I would like to say a big thank you to Matt Anderson for sending me a copy of Cycle Of A Rose.
Oh my god was this book good. The blurb on the back of the book was Alittle evasive so I really didn’t know what I was getting into but I’m glad I did it was so good. There’s nothing better than a well done paranormal horror!
I was a little confused at first when the blurb was talking about the main character rose and we get into a story about Wayne. But I was pleasantly shocked when you find out why you’re reading about Wayne like 🤯.
This is absolutely a must read! What?
