The Rose Master
by Valentina Cano
When Anne Tinning turned seventeen, birds fell from the sky. A murder of crows simply passed some line and dropped to the ground.
That should have tipped her off that something was very wrong.
When she is called to see the lady of the house, she is informed that she is to move to a new home and a new job in two days.
Something was definitely wrong.
At her new home, there are no visitors, no leaving once in, almost no staff, and the master of the house is rarely out of his rooms.
It's also the middle of winter and roses are in bloom all over, completely surrounding the manor.
The freezing cold that permeates every inch of the home guarantees that something is wrong.
Anne must make the decision to stay and try to stop the evil that is everywhere or leave before that evil destroys her.
Final thoughts: Nice little mystery, but nothing wow-worthy. It does have a few haunting moments, but it's all pretty generic. This will add to a collection and tide over young adults if they need something with a bit of spookiness that's not really scary.
Rating: 3/5
