This book is something I would’ve loved to read a few years ago. My taste in books have changed, but I felt the eagerness of my younger self while listening to this story.
Let’s talk about the story in general. It was fast! So fast, the scenes were rushing from one to the next and because of that I think I didnt have time to really soak in the situations and the characters reactions.
Because this book was fast passed, I didnt really cared about the characters, I didnt had time to empathize with them, and care about their feelings and situation. Although, the author make it so clear on what they were doing and why, still it felt impersonal and I couldn’t relate to them.
There were several twists through the the book, and oh boy! They were not expected at all. It was a magnificent story and also a thrilling one.
I recommend this book to young adults, beware this book talks about murder, suicide, depression, grief.Just in case, I recommend not reading this if you are sensible to some of this subjects .

So this is actually my second experience with this story because I read it last year. Since this time it's an audio book, I'll focus on the narrator, who did a great job delivering the story. The voice changes were evident, and one could tell when the main female character (Catori) was changing from narration to speaking with the other characters. The only thing I'm still a little confused over is whether Ace was given an accent or not. It's just a random thought that kept on coming to me as I heard his conversations because I'm confident Cruz didn't have an accent and they grew up together. 
As for the story, I'm biased because I know where it leads and I also know that this first book is a little confusing, but I was mesmerized by the way it's written because I KNOW all the feelings I develop for the characters happen for a reason. I think I like this story more now.

I got an eArc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I did not enjoy the story much. It was so hard to get into. I did not love any character at all which was a surprise to me because even if I don't like the main character/s, I seem to at least like the side characters. In here? Nah. Even I don't like the plot. This is actually the first for me. I'm actually a reader who's very easy to please.

I have to say this audio book had me sucked into the story within the first few chapters. I finished the audio book in one day. Overall I thought the story was great fairy folklore mixed with Native American folklore. Rose Petal Graves starts with cat (CatorI) coming home because of her mother’s death and finding it hard to believe she has passed away. Strange things start to happen and she finds out fairies are real and she is from a line of hunters. I will continue on with this series.

I received an Audio eARC from the publishers through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. It has not affected my opinions.
I listen to this book in 2.0 speed, and it’s the usually speed I listen to. The narrator did a good job.
When I saw the description of ”Rose Petal Graves” by Olivia Wildenstein, and saw it contained fairies then I was hooked. But I got disappointed by the book, if any asked me what the book is about in 1 month, then I won’t remember it. The book is basic and reminds me of other books. But it’s good and easy book, and I felt some what entertained. Therefor my rating

While this book entertained me, it didn't do anything particularly special in my opinion. The characters were pretty bland (my least favourite of which was a nice guy/pick me), the plot pretty flaky. Will I be reading the next one? Not until I finish other books on my TBR... so probably not.
It's really too bad that such an interesting premise turned out so bland.

The perfect blend of reality and fantasy with a sense of mystery and foreboding that immediately made me realise I’d be listening to the whole thing asap!
This will appeal to fans of Cruel Prince, An Enchantment of Ravens, & Christina Henry’s twisted fairytales.
Vivid descriptions and a brilliant plot, and I loved the narrator. Looking forward to book 2!
