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.

Thank you, NetGalley for the chance to listen to the audiobook for Rose Petal Graves by Olivia Wildenstein and narrated by Stephanie Fritz.

 

Rose Petal Graves is the third audiobook I've finished in my life, and the second one I haven't hated. It's the first book in the lost clan series with a very very stupid main character, who also has an incredibly stupid family. It's truly a marvel that she and her aunt and her mother survived as long as they did. Who reads a book and decides, I want to see if our ancestors are still alive under the ground after 200 years? At least in our mains case, she's 19, what excuse do the others have?!?!?!

 

It's also good for me in audiobook form, I don't have to pay too much attention, but I still get what's going on while I do things. Of course, I really do want the next book just to see who survives!
