Black Rose by Karina Halle
3.0
Blood Orange ends on a cliffhanger, so jumping straight into Black Rose was a must. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the second installment of this love story nearly as much.
Valtu is INCREDIBLY unlikable in this story. He was fine in Blood Orange, but in Black Rose, he is so toxic and I can’t stand him. He's a flawed character and I can empathize with his struggles, but the story was difficult to read because of how terribly he treats Rose. If you like bully romances you will love this, but it was hard for me to read. Valtu is just cowardly and he doesn’t grovel nearly as much as he should.
Things do get better (trying not to spoil) but I was relieved when it was all over. Despite everything, I still was addicted to the story....I'm glad that Valtu and Rose have all of eternity to figure their stuff out because they have a lot to work through lol.
