It's like once something really starts happening, the book ends. I did notice quite a few grammatical errors throughout the story, specifically, words left out or the wrong word put in. There were some inconsistencies as well. One example was in regards to how Arianna had never been hurt; she never needed stitches or broke any bones. BUT somewhere near the beginning when Arianna and her mom move into the dump trailer, she com I liked this story. BUT somewhere near the beginning when Arianna and her mom move into the dump trailer, she comments about the dresser that was left there.
Arianna Rose Parts 1-3
She reminiscences about how a previous dresser she'd used, the drawers would come completely out and one ended up landing on her toe so she was left with, " Not sure how that happened considering Arianna was supposed to be invincible-like. How did Howard end up being burnt so badly? Not much is really said about him minus the religious-ness about him. He had killed his mother and lover and what? Nothing more is said, besides the police not understanding how he could be so calm and how he might be a sociopath or psychopath.
Did he not go to jail? And his mother and her two guy friends, what just randomly whipped out the old Ouija board for some devil worshiping? Haha, that was kind of stupid there. There are just too many questions left unanswered regarding Howard. Okay, now I've never read the bible before, so I'm not sure of what all is inside. But the whole free will thing with God and whatnot, is that in it? I'm asking because Howard and his religious freaks go around killing innocent people, lots and lots of them Anyways, he kills people that are considered dark, turned away from God and all that.
So why does that not come into play? I mean if a person wants to worship the Devil, then that's his right, right? Jul 19, Lydia rated it did not like it.

The attempts to make Arianna read like a mature year-old just come off as affected edginess and the flip-flop between hardcore!
Arianna and flirty, love-struck! Arianna made my head spins. The characters are all flat and un-dynamic, with the exception of Howard. I was disappointed that Arianna turned out to be Sola after all, because I think the entire concept behind this book would have worked x better for me if she'd just been a normal girl and he This half-book was one long, ugly cliche.
I was disappointed that Arianna turned out to be Sola after all, because I think the entire concept behind this book would have worked x better for me if she'd just been a normal girl and he'd been a religious sociopath. But then I guess it wouldn't have been "paranormal romance. May 12, Katie Pickering rated it really liked it.
I loved this book, as soon as I started reading I was hooked. I had an automatic connection with Arianna, I like that she was portrayed with lots of maturity even if for the wrong reasons. I think the book was well written with a few minor mistakes.

The highlights for me was the author's ability to keep me guessing, I hate predictable books. I would most definitely recommend this book. It had emotions, romance, paranormal, and suspense.

My only negative was I was slightly disappointed when it ended as I felt it had just got to the exciting bits,although this also leaves me with a positive because I was desperate to read more and can't wait to purchase the next one. Apr 01, Scarlett Copperfly rated it did not like it Shelves: I couldn't warm up to the book. Arianna for me was an extremely unlikeable character who got on my nerves non stop.
She has a tough life for sure, but she is just a bitchy teenager, that's all. That's the only vibe I got from her. Howard was an interesting character; I have never had a God-fanatic in a book so it was a nice change. But with Arianna bitching and cursing all the time, her whoring mother and the poor language at times I just couldn't get into the book at all and was simply glad when I couldn't warm up to the book. But with Arianna bitching and cursing all the time, her whoring mother and the poor language at times I just couldn't get into the book at all and was simply glad when it was over.
I won't continue with this series. Feb 13, Shayna Varadeaux rated it it was amazing Shelves: Arianna Rose is a down on luck but dealing with the bs kinda girl, she soon learns she is way more than meets the eye.
Arianna Rose (Arianna Rose, #1) by Jennifer Martucci
I really truly like this series. And oh the cliffhanger!!! I wonder though what Luke and Steph know?. I am curious to see how they play back into the story in the end! Read it al Arianna Rose is a down on luck but dealing with the bs kinda girl, she soon learns she is way more than meets the eye. Read it all in one day! Couldn't put it down!!!!!! Mar 19, Sarah rated it liked it. So far so good, just too short. It would have been nice to have the second book combined with this one. As is, it feels incomplete, unresolved. Jan 16, Stacy Sabala rated it really liked it Shelves: Book Review- Arianna Rose by Jennifer and Christopher Martucci Arianna and her mother moved into a different trailer in a different town.
Her mother is in search of a new job and a new guy. Arianna knows that drill. She starts at a new school and meets new friends. A cute boy catches her eye. Luke helps her the first day.

His mission is to rid as much evil from the world as possible. He was chosen by god.
Arianna Rose (Part 1) - Arianna Rose #1
There is also a mystery man who has shown up and then disappeared. He has surprised and freaked Arianna out on both occasions. It seems he knows who she really is and helps her after her powers save her. This is the first part in the series. It was a short read to whet your appetite. It was a pretty good read. Arianna is tough, independent and smart. Her life is not fabulous but she deals.
Her mother is a mess. She is a complex character who has no idea what she can do or who she truly is. In fact her life is in danger and she has no clue. There is a lot of mystery and unanswered questions. This book is setting the stage and introducing the players. The reader gets a glimpse at her powers in the end but the author ends the story pretty close after that leaving the reader hanging.
The mystery man helps her and disappears. The reader knows nothing after that. It was a good series starter and I look forward to reading more.
Arianna Rose is the slightly confusing story of a young year-old girl, who has constantly been on the move, due to decisions her mother makes. Her mother is also an alcoholic who works hard at finding a man to support her, but that's about it. We start off with the death of a family, with no idea who they are or how they connect. It's only halfway through when we find out who Lily was.

Then we quickly move to Arianna and her new home, school, and life. Arianna is a complex character, who Arianna Rose is the slightly confusing story of a young year-old girl, who has constantly been on the move, due to decisions her mother makes. Arianna is a complex character, who on one hand I respect and admire for her strength and resilience. On the other hand, I want to shake her until she realises that she is following in her mother's footsteps, even as she thinks she isn't. Luke is a warm character, with hardships of his own, but you don't actually see that much of him.
His honesty is refreshing though. As for the mysterious man, he remains just that. This is the first part of the story, and so you sort of know right at the beginning that it will end on a cliffhanger. For me though, it wasn't as much of a cliffhanger, rather more of a hidden gorge. One minute you're walking along just fine, the next, the ground has dropped beneath your feet and you're in free-fall.
The ending was very abrupt, and whilst you are usually left wanting more with a cliffhanger, with this one, I'm just not sure. Feeling a tad ambivalent about this one right now, so I will leave it for a while to see if the second book entices me further down the line. Dec 16, paige preston rated it it was ok. Very,very vague It was to vague to me, I understand that it is part 1 but it could have been explained a bit more. This is just my opinion, but at least it didn't have really bad grammatical errors. Nov 13, Mandy Stump rated it it was amazing.
Wow This book was interesting. I was a little confused at first. I liked Luke a lot and Arianna's attitude. Loved that she drives a bike not many books have girls that do. Cannot wait to finish reading more. Feb 19, Moon Love rated it really liked it. Nov 17, Deborah rated it liked it.

I'm very glad I did. Arianna us Very good read I wasn't real sure about this book but once I read the reviews I decided to give it a read. Arianna used to being dragged around bouncing from school to school because of her mother's bad habits and shortcomings. Arianna drives a motorcycle, Kawasaki KLR I think he's the evil one. But this book is gripping from beginning being to end, it leaves you wanting more. You just need to know what's really going on, how she's a witch if her mother has no power and where she went with this stranger at the end of the book.
I'm glad I grabbed this book on Amazon for free. Nov 12, Jane Kelsey rated it liked it. I was pleasantly surprised by this book, though it had its rise and falls. His goal is to find Sola, the unifier of all covens. I am completely tired of the Bella-damsel-in-distress, so this character is a breath of fresh air.
Well, we can foresee that, but I am unsatisfied with the ending, which is really a pity since the book was such a pleasure to read. I sincerely hope that the second instalment of the series is going to keep up the same writing quality, while providing with a better ending. I loved the cover!!! May 22, Marsha rated it it was amazing. I will be the first to admit that books about witches are my least favorite because the concept of a witch being captured and burn at the stake seems beyond ridiculous to me. If you are a witch in possession of major magical abilities how can anyone take you?

Jul 15, Kristin rated it liked it Shelves: Gabriel Rising, you would know that I did not like that one. So I went into this book very hesitant. However, I have to say that Arianna Rose is a huge step up from their previous series.
It definitely was not perfect; I had many, many issues with it, but compared to Gabriel Rising, the plot had direction, a few characters were intriguing, and the writing was better in general. Now I'm not saying that I enjoyed this book, I'm merely just stating that it was better than their other series. Like I mentioned, I had many problems with this novel. The first problem is one I think I see in a lot of free ebooks these days: They seem to end at a really random point, especially when things start to get interesting. I feel cheated honestly.
I understand that authors are providing free first books of their series, so that if we enjoy them, we can buy the next ones. This is totally okay, it's great actually. Stunning in its sexual frankness and eerie, fog-enshrouded visions, this novel was decidedly influential for the generations of horror and science fiction authors who came afterward. She's grateful for some rest and relaxation in cottage country, and after a recent breakup she wants to stay as far away from romance as possible.
Then she meets her irresistible new neighbor. There's something strange and mysterious about his eyes. Is it just her imagination, or are they locked on her neck? Garrett Mortimer is a rogue hunter.

He needs to keep her safe from their pursuers while he rescues his brother. Most challenging of all, he needs to claim this smart, stubborn woman as his life mate.
