| The story is as gruesome as the cover looks! |
November 2015, Pegasus Elliot Mackenzie, 148 pages, Hardback, Review copy
Content: violence, murder, strong adult situations,
Summary from Pegasus Publishers
When Rose flees to southern Spain following her messy divorce, romance
is the last thing on her mind - until she meets fellow art lover
Antonio. But A Rose for St Amelia is not the passionate holiday
romance it first appears to be. Antonio has a secret, one which unfolds
with tragic consequences, as Rose discovers to her cost.
Nayu's thoughts
I knew it was a dramatic read from the blurb, yet I hadn't
realised it was going to have such mature content. However the story is
very unusual and I can say I haven't read many books like it. It gave
me chills because I realised what might happen to Rose before she
did, which didn't lessen the blow of what actually happened. What she experiences is horrific, and all too easy to imagine. I think
I coped with the intensity and grim nature of the book because it's a
short read, that and I read it in daylight which is a smidge less creepier than at night. I'll definitely check out more of Jack's books in the future!
