Really great read, it is always fun to get a different perspective of the characters! Nov 22, Shauna Salley rated it it was amazing. I love this series and I especially love this book because of the new POV of William and to be able to get more into his head.
He is my favorite character and I love watching his walls crumble. Such a sweet book with some laugh out loud moments as well. Dec 01, Candy Lieberenz rated it really liked it.
The pacing went much quicker with his version since the in depth details of what happened with Quinn was at a much slower pace. Their relationship went from some awkward thoughts and comments to the safe house basement - to a backyard kiss That was a surprise and really quick. I guess William didn't have as much to say! Nov 25, Patti rated it it was amazing. I have really become attached to Quinn, William and family. It doesn't matter which character is telling the story! It might have been that 4 books were supposed to comprise the series, but this book makes 10 and the characters are still teenagers.
And in Deusterros time, that means they have a very long life and many more stories ahead of them! There are enough characters to keep the adventures going for a long time to come. I'll never have enough! May 30, Marie rated it it was amazing Shelves: Nov 29, Cora rated it it was amazing. This book is a must get for any fan of the Dusk Gate books.
True fans will always want more and this is a prefect way to get to relive some of our favorite scenes from past books. Plus all the little extras that were added. It made my heart happy to have more of the story of Quinn and Will. They have to be some of my favorites of all time. Jan 27, Elda rated it it was amazing. For the second time the reader gets into his head and discovers what he was thinking about Quinn. And their first kiss?
But this story was way too short. Come on Ms Puttroff. Nov 26, Abbie rated it liked it Shelves: I really love Breeana Puttroff's books, but this was one of my least favorite. It is a rewrite of another book, from an alternate point of view, which I was excited to read. However, I felt like this book was jumpy and disconnected. Perhaps it would have been better to reread the Dusk Gate series first before reading through this one.

I love will and quinn and their relationship. May 28, Genny rated it really liked it Shelves: So much fun to see the beginning of Quinn and William from his point of view. Anyway, I must move on and tell you a bit about why my heart is still in my throat and I may or may not be looking over my shoulder right now. And I will try my best not to spoil it for you. Hannah Malcolm attempts to start her life anew in a slower-paced town. Bar Harbor isn't at all what she was used to in Chicago, but that was the point. She had to find a way to escape, and possibly forget, the horrible memories she had of the death of her family.
With the case closed, and no answers found, staying would have only been the end of her sanity.
With a brand new job and a few friends made, Hannah agrees to be dragged against her will to a club with new friend and co-worker, Penny Pilkington. What she found there was Marcus, a guy that any girl in the club or town would have done just about anything just to get his attention. Hannah was shocked by the evident fact that Marcus didn't seem to notice anyone but her.
Marcus' interest seemed to grow even more through the weeks, and Hannah found that she was completely besotted with the devastatingly handsome rogue. Strange things began to happen, but ignoring them was a whole lot easier than facing them and ruining what seemed to be the perfect relationship.
Books similar to Roses at Dusk (Demonic, #1)
A brutal murder and a serious accident that almost took the life of Penny, had her nerves on end. And she realized when the bruises lasted longer and Marcus' words sounded more possessive than loving, that she may not have been seeing the real Marcus at all. She also realized that the only way to get out of the relationship may cost her her life. With the help of a friend, and some disturbing discoveries about Marcus' secret life and her own past, she takes the chance and runs.
I can't tell you anymore, because it would spoil it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who craves a little danger in their life. Roses at Dusk will have you dreading the setting sun. It receives 5 stars from me. Sep 07, Leanne Rogerson rated it it was amazing. Hard to put down. Just when you think you know how it's all going to tie up, quite smugly, you think to yourself that you will put it down and get back to it later Fascinating, little bit chilling, a little bit of discomfort thrown in for good measure to make you question yourself on a couple different things.
What a great start to The Demonic Series Sep 28, Kevin Outlaw rated it really liked it. I couldn't help groaning when early on a devilishly handsome man comes strolling down the beach in tight jeans with his shirt undone, and I lost count of the number of times the term "devastatingly handsome" was used. That being said, I did find myself continually returning to the book to see how things would turn out. The main villain is suitably powerful and threatening, making it difficult to see how the heroine will ultimately triumph; and I think there are a lot of people who would enjoy the story of a woman trapped in a dangerous relationship with no obvious way out.
I think anyone who liked the Twilight series will be entertained, although the content of this book seems more mature I think Twilight spliced with Fifty Shades of Grey was what the author was going for. A few things let the book down for me. Most noticeably, there were many typos "if" instead of "of," "passed" instead of "past," "like" instead of "liked," "nid-stride" instead of "mid-stride" - I spotted several in every chapter and there were several sections where the paragraph formatting was wrong. There were also several areas where unusual phrases were evident in descriptions such as a night a character cannot remember being described as "unforgettable".
I think it would pay for the author to give the work another proofread and tighten up the edit a bit more easily done with a Kindle book , as it really will improve the book. I also found there were times where characters acted unrealistically. One character, after being assaulted, decides the best thing to do is forget about it and fall straight into the arms of the most likely suspect. Later on, the same character is fleeing for her life, but still goes in to work because she doesn't want to miss a business meeting she has scheduled.
I am rating this book four stars because I think there is much to enjoy here for fans of the genre and I appreciate I am not the target audience. For anyone who thinks the Twilight books are a bit tame, this could be a winner. Oct 02, Debbie Heaton rated it really liked it. She needed to escape, and possibly forget, the horrible memories she had surrounding the death of her family. No answers coming, case closed, staying would have only been painful. New job and a few new friends made, Hannah agrees to be dragged against her will to a club with new friend and co-worker, Penny Pilkington.
There she found Marcus, a guy that any girl in the club would have done just about anything to get his attention. Stunned, Hannah was shocked to learn he only had eyes for her. Strange things begin to happen, but ignoring them was a whole lot easier than facing them and ruining what seemed to be the perfect relationship.
And the price of leaving may just be her life. Intense—a touch of evil. The book is hard to put down. A great introduction to The Demonic Series. Sep 14, Charidy rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: You will immediately be drawn into this story and wont be able to put it down.

Sembera rated it it was amazing Shelves: Ok, when I started this book I wasn't sure what to expect, especially since it is marked as part of The Demonic Series. I was amazed at how the story progressed and was even caught by surprise a few times. One of my favorite things was how the author was able to set the mood of a situation without being graffic.
Most of all it really is a good story, that is unique and exciting to read. I cannot wait for the sequel Snowdrops wilt at Dawn! Sep 30, Katrina rated it really liked it. I brought this book on release day and must say I was not disappointed. Roses at Dusk will certainly take you on a roller coaster ride, with twists, turns and mystery entwined within the pages and even a little bit of romance to curb that inner romantic. There will be certain characters on first sight that you will swoon after , and then after I brought this book on release day and must say I was not disappointed.
There will be certain characters on first sight that you will swoon after , and then after reading a chapter or two , you will be gobsmacked and even grossed out, or scared, at certain scenes put forth. Can someone be loved too much? I was engrossed from the very start, however very surprised at the storyline that was put forth. As dark as it comes across at times, I pulled the covers down and sped along at record breaking pace. This book gave me more than I could have imagined.
I certainly do enjoy a story that is unique and different and definitely one of a kind. Roses at Dusk is certainly that! M W Russell gives us a haunting, yet dark yet and mysterious tale that is not only alluring but downright scary in parts.
Falling Roses: A Dusk Gate Chronicles Novel
In Roses at Dusk we see a darker side to fallen angels, and mysteries that you will want to be unleashed. I was slightly taken back in certain parts, cringing and gasping along the way, but also sheepishly grinning at a certain parts to. I enjoyed the banter between Felix and Hannah, the flirty yet wonderful friendship formed and also the twist that becomes about as well. Hannah formed new friendships and love and the author put this forth well.
I liked all the characters within the story. To need something — so dark…. Its unjustifiable yet …………….
Demon from the Dark
The relationships grew as the story progressed; we see different sides to all the characters as it the story unfolded. Some for better some for worse Roses at Dusk will certainly have you raising your eyebrows, taken aback at many a scenes but it lures you in like a magnet to a piece of metal. The storyline is fluent flowiing and engrossing and will certainly pique your interest till the last page has been turned.
I look forward to the next installment of this series, and recommend it to all who like a haunting tale, a bit darker than most but also Unique! Nov 04, A. Barber rated it it was amazing. It has been some time since I last ventured into paranormal fiction and did so with relish — the book in no way left me disappointed!
The story provides ample surprises with lashings of suspense and an explosive conclusion. Strong characters, a well thought out plot and well written prose all go to ensure a hunger to devour each line while longing for the next. Better than a night out at the cinema — I have discovered a rising star of paranormal fiction and cannot wait for her next book!
Oct 13, Kurt Springs rated it it was amazing. A book of light and dark. Hannah moves to Maine after her family dies under mysterious circumstances. As she begins to make friends, a dark stranger named Marcus enters her life. He professes love for her, but proceeds to control her. However, his control isn't the run of the mill toxic relation scenario.
He isn't quite human. The book starts of slowly, but quickly picks up speed as Hannah tried to find a way to fight Marcus before he kills her. May 18, Tabitha Ormiston-Smith rated it really liked it. A wonderfully exciting paranormal thriller, Roses At Dusk grabbed me right from the start and didn't let go. Good, page-turning writing, and well presented although the quality, in terms of proofing errors, dropped off slightly towards the end; I thought it could have done with slightly more rigorous editing, but there was nothing that really impaired the reader's enjoyment.
A solid piece of work in a very competitive genre. Sep 26, Jacqueline Driggers rated it it was amazing.
