Publisher's summary
A kingdom built with secrets is bound to unravel. During the month of Amira, the silver moon emerges, and the kingdom of Zyra comes alive with anticipation for the annual ball. Mellana Goodwick, finally at the rightful age of 16, receives her first invitation, but when unexpected events take place, immediate regret sets in.
Mellana finds herself caught in a strange storm—casting down green lightning and filling the sky with ear-splitting thunder. To make matters worse, the kingdom comes under attack by Prince Lorian, a man removed from the line of succession for murdering his sister, the future queen, and her newborn child.
After escaping the attack with her best friends, Mellana stumbles upon a box left by a woman named Rose. With the power to see glimpses of the future, Rose warns Mellana of hidden powers the kingdom has covered up and Lorian’s desire to unleash them all. Rose instructs Mellana to gather the sacred article from each of the seven kingdoms before Lorian and his deadly group can gain access to them. Together, the items unlock a barrier that is meant to stay shut.
In Secrets of a Rose, Mellana will discover remarkable abilities that stir around her—and some that even rise within. In order to keep what she loves, she must embark on a race against the person who dares to threaten it all.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Faedra had no idea that faeries controlled nature, and with a book no less. Nor did she know that her ancestors had protected an ancient fae amulet for thousands of years. An amulet that, if ever was reunited with the book, would give the wearer power to control the weather, too.

The upheaval in my life began the moment a prince stumbled into my house and asked me to read his fortune. Any other night, I might have made an excuse to get him to leave, but this was no normal visit. My fingers prickled to touch him. So, I granted his request by handing him a single wishbone. When he snapped it, the wish...bled. Hearing me suck in a shocked breath, he asked what it meant. Such an ominous omen could only mean one thing: His death was imminent. Fate revealed that he wouldn’t die of natural causes. Someone wanted him dead.

I thought this would be a simple profiling case. Just another Jack the Ripper wannabe, prowling London’s streets, searching for easy kills. I was wrong. This killer is fae, and he’s as elusive as smoke on the wind. But I’m an FBI profiler, and it’s my job to track him down. It doesn’t matter that one of the main suspects - a lethally alluring fae - is trying to seduce me...or kill me, I’m not sure which. I won’t be stopped, not even when panic roils through the streets of London or when the police start to suspect me.

Story
Elwyn is remarkably unremarkable, and she prefers it that way. Perhaps it is a talent owed to the training of the notorious syndicate that reared her, or it may be a gift from her invisible friend—a clever and capricious creature who, unlike most invisible friends, has only grown more real with time. Either way, Elwyn's unremarkability is about to fail her.

It has been 13 years since the war started, the bombs were dropped, and the central states became a thing of the past. When the war ended, a wall was erected to divide the surviving states from those destroyed. I never expected to go beyond the wall, but unlike all the others who volunteered to go, I wasn't given a choice. With a dim knowledge of what I could do, the soldiers came for me. They took me beyond the wall where I learned that the truth is far more terrifying than I'd ever dreamed.

For a decade, I’ve hated the supernaturals who owned my world. I hunted them. I killed them. And now, in the most grand twist of fate - I am bonded to one of them. Oh, the irony. Being a supernatural bounty hunter isn’t exactly a popular job. But after the magic wars, there aren’t many things a human can do that will put food on the table. Thankfully, anything my right hook can’t handle, my guns can. Or so I thought.

An epic and pulse pounding adventure
I was provided a copy of this title for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
On the lookout for a super fast paced and engaging YA fantasy? Want a series starter featuring an epic quest, a broad cast of characters and a plot that goes from zero to one hundred in an instant?
You’ve found it. Adina Chiles did something with this book, and I’ll be eagerly awaiting my chance to return to this world.

Excited for the 2nd to be narrated!
This was an easy listen that was enjoyable and kept my attention! The story felt a little slow at times, but it was during times of sweet relationship building so that made up for it. I loved the characters, and I’m excited to see where they go. The narration was beautifully done! I really hope they’ll get the second one done soon so I can give it a listen. Loved the epilogue!

The overall story and world building is amazing
⭐️: 5 stars
✨original book review july 2022 with additional notes on the reread from earlier this year ✨
This is the debut book from Adina Chiles, the book was a wonderful adventure of magic and friendships. It was a breath of fresh air and like nothing I have read. The main character was interesting and relatable. I think I caught some buding romance between a few of the characters and I want to know more. The main character Mellana is a fun heroine and the friendship between her and Jewels is so sweet. I can’t wait for book 2, and will be adding this series and this author to my watch list.
Revised after rereading- omg I forgot how wonderful this book was I mean when you read a book and you can go back and just be blown away by how great the world building is and the characters are fun and fleshed out they grow so fast in this series and I loved every moment of this book again and can’t wait to jump in to book 2
✨ Audiobook review ✨
I love listening to books while I read with them so I catch more information…. Being dyslexic this helps me out so much m. The narrator did an excellent job of articulating the words and voices of the characters. The emotion of the book was spot on. If you have auditable I would recommend checking out this book for sure.

Really great YA fantasy with fantastic narrator
Secrets of a Rose was really fun to listen to. It took me a little to get into, but once I did I was full in! There is wonderful friendship, adventure, hidden magic, and all of the things that you hope for in a YA fantasy book. While this is the first in a series, it doesn’t end on a massive cliffhanger, which I really appreciate. Instead it sets up the story to continue, and I will certainly be continuing with the next in the series!
I really enjoyed this book, and honestly younger me would have torn it up too!! This was definitely my go to style growing up and not much has changed it seems 🤷♀️
Now for the audiobook review… Nichole James crushed this. Her voice was perfect for this story and I LOVED all of the different voices each of the characters had. Getting the correct narrator for the book is tough, but this selection is honestly just flawless 🤌🏼🤌🏼
If you are an audiobook person looking for a fun YA fantasy to listen to, I definitely have to recommend this book.

Beautifully Narrated Story
Secrets of a Rose is a YA fantasy full of secrets to discover, found family bonds, and a race against the returned murderous prince, Lorian, to recover the sacred articles he intends to misuse.
While we don't see our initial cast becoming friends, as that has happened off-stage, their bonds are strongly portrayed throughout the story. We follow a large cast of characters who are coming of age and discovering their unique abilities. The different types of abilities are one of my favorite aspects of the story- I'm a sucker for them. I can't wait to see if a certain character who wasn't showing signs of having magic will wind up getting them in future installments.
I listened to the audio of this, and the narrator, Nichole James, did wonderfully. I loved her voice, and she's one of the best narrators I've listened to when it comes to changing the pitch/tone of her voice for various characters. It made the audiobook easier to follow and more interesting.
Some of the character reactions and interactions are a tiny bit unbelievable from time to time, but as a YA story, I feel this is super easy to overlook and focus on the world and adventure the characters are embarking on. I think the best solution would have been to make this edition in the series longer, to give more time to really focus on all the characters and world-building more efficiently.
I recommend this to anyone who likes:
->Fast reads
->Younger YA appeal
->Royalty & hidden royalty
->Fantasy adventure
->Hidden powers
->Found family & strong friendships
->Large character group
->When you can clearly tell why the title of the book was chosen (if nobody else loves when this happens, I guess I'm just the odd weirdo out lol)
