Rose Gordon and her sisters run an underground PI Agency; underground in the eyes of humans, well-known for other paranormals like themselves. Her witch sisters bring them in alive, while Rose leaves them for dead. Blessed with inexplicably strong powers, everyone thinks Rose is the quickest at magic. What nobody knows is that she is the last living sorceress. And it’s a secret she’ll do anything to protect.
When the elusive vampire Tallwood family hires Rose to take out one of their own, she is too intrigued to say no. However, just as she is about to finish the job, the Tallwood heir Daniel intercepts and discovers her true nature.
Now as Rose scrambles to get her secret back under wraps and keep her family safe, she finds she can’t get Daniel out of her head or life. And the more she tries to bury her secret and keep him away, the more she becomes ensnared in the Tallwoods' schemes…
THE SHARPEST ROSE is an urban fantasy novel about witches with a lot of action, a bit of romance and sizzle, and a tight-knit sisterly bond. Great for fans of Kelley Armstrong's "Otherworld" series and Kim Harrison's "The Hollows" series.
There is a lot to like in this story. However I feel it veers in to, pardon the pun, overkill. There is needless body count. Two in particular at the end which was unnecessary and for me ruined the story. I am not rating because this seems to be a new author and I think this just needs an experienced editor to help with the rough edges in the plot.
This was surprisingly good. Not much spice, and for the love of god can Rose stop getting kidnapped. A little overkill. Excited to see where this goes.
I picked it up as the library said it was a top pick. It's one of those badass woman = bitch books, and for a supposed badass the entire book is just her getting saved over and over by her man. Ugh.
