Rose Petal Graves by Olivia Wildenstein

Rose Petal Graves (Lost Clan, #1)

by Olivia Wildenstein

The Vampire Diaries with faeries. Welcome to Rowan...

Founded two centuries ago by a powerful tribe of Gottwa Indians, Rowan was a quiet town, so quiet that I fled after graduation. Staying away was the plan, but Mom died suddenly.

Dad said she suffered a stroke after she dug up one of the ancient graves in our backyard, which happens to be the town cemetery.

Creepy, I know. Creepier still, there was no corpse inside the old coffin, only fresh rose petals.

As we made preparations for Mom’s burial, new people began arriving in Rowan, unnervingly handsome and odd people.

I begged them to leave, but they stayed, because their enemies—my ancestors—were beginning to awaken.

Fans of Holly Black, Cassandra Clare, and Stephenie Meyer will adore Wildenstein's new Faerie-tale series.

I received an advanced/review copy of this book. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content and honesty of my review.

I definitely enjoyed reading this book, but it was for sure a difficult one to read. There was so much heartache and devastation and there's this one part where I honestly had to set the book down for the rest of the day and I didn't pick it back up until that night.

The mix of Native American folklore and fae mythology was extremely interesting and before reading this book, I wouldn't have put the two together. Kudos to the author for thinking of that :)

In all, I definitely liked this book and I can't wait to read the next! If you'd like my full review, feel free to check it out on my blog :)
