Goddess Of The Rose: Number 4 in series (Goddess Summoning, #4)

by P.C. Cast

It's not green fingers that have kept the Empousai family's roses blooming for centuries - it's the drops of blood that their women secretly sacrifice for their gardens. But Mikki would rather forget this family quirk and lead a normal life. Until the day she unwittingly performs a ritual and ends up in the strangely familiar Realm of the Rose. As its goddess, Hecate, reveals to her, Mikki has the blood of a high priestess running through her veins. And the realm has been waiting for her ...In a long ago flash of temper, Hecate cursed her Guardian beast with a slumber that only her priestess can undo - and Hecate is counting on Mikki to set things right. At first the beast terrifies Mikki - but soon he intrigues her more than any man ever has. But the only way he and the realm can be saved is for Mikki to sacrifice her life-giving blood - and herself ...

Mikki is an Empousai, a family who have a connection with roses, her family have been giving blood to the roses for years. Their blood keeps the roses healthy. Mikki feels disconnected with the world and believes that there's something more. When she awakens the beast and finds herself in the Realm of the Rose where the roses are dying she finds a purpose.

Sweet and interesting it's quite a readable story.
