She is different , unique ,and one of a kind. Even in this weird new world. In a world ravaged by an inter-species war and almost devoid of Witches, she has to hide , keeping her heritage a secret. Only two people knew the truth about her; her father and her mentor; her saviour, Seth. A highly trained assassin, she kills with impunity if the target deserves such a sentence. Unfortunately, far too many do. The lawlessness that stretches from coast to coast allowing unspeakable acts to go unpunished.
Vampires, Werewolves, Demons and a host of other species now run free upon the earth and some of them were down right evil. She tasks herself with dealing with wrongdoers whenever she can. She is strong , fearless and powerful. An anomaly, probably the only Witch/wolf hybrid left alive.She shields herself from detection. If anyone knew she has Witch DNA they would all come after her and she couldn´t take such a horde on and live.
Her assignments as the "go to" assassin for The Council give her plenty of opportunity to wreak justice upon those who deal in death and destruction. Her targets mostly found dead with black lips and tongue; a result of her spells and not just the poison everyone thinks. So when the new Head of the Council, Basilius, a Demon , tasks her with taking out the most powerful Vampire alive she can´t refuse . Can she?
The Black Rose will strike for the good of humanity. It´s what she believes she´s been born to do and she will tackle this as she does all her missions; with deadly intent. There´d be no difference this time . Would there? Or is this the dangerous Vampire, Cassius Allarde , not all that he seems?
Come follow Rose´s journey as she fights to find out the truth. About the Demon , the Vampire and the Witch hunt that destroyed most of her kind.
Book 1 in A.K.Michaels new series. The Black Rose Chronicles. If you like your dystopian books with the added bonus of supernatural beings in abundance then this book is for you.
I was luck enough to receive an ARC but that does not colour my review in any way.
This is a new series, set in a world that has suffered devastation. The supernatural beings are either trying to take control or restore peace, depending on who it is. Rose is half wolf and half witch. Witches have been hunted to near extinction, so that part of her has to be hidden. She has gained a reputation as an assassin, but she will only kill those who have done wrong. Someone has hired her to take out a vampire leader, and tells her a way to get to him. But is it the vampire or her employer who needs to be put down?
Cassius is trying hard to bring peace to all species, by making vampires take responsibility of their progeny. He also wants to protect any witches that he can. He is an ancient vampire who hates what has happened to the world.
Our heroine has a complicated past. The man who has trained her is very special to her, but there is something missing in their relationship.

We have a great kick ass heroine, who will not back down from anyone. She has to be in control in all things. Her fights are vicious but very fast. The sex scenes are hot and I know that this is going to be another addictive series from this author. Even if she was cruel with the ending. One way to make sure we are eager for the next book.
There are also some good secondary characters that I am sure will get their own story.
A K Michaels, Ava, was born in Scotland quite a number of years ago! She was married at a young age and is mother to three much loved children. After the birth of her last child she went back to higher education and studied for a year before gaining employment in the banking industry. She worked in that role for a number of years before leaving, both the job and the country.
She lived abroad for a few years before returning to Scotland and finally taking up her dream - writing.
She is the author of the Defender's Blood series of books and other series’ including The Witch, The Wolf and the Vampire, Supernatural Enforcement Bureau and also Sabrina's Vampire, together with a Wolf Erotica Novella, Lori's Wolf. Her books fall into the Paranormal/Urban Fantasy genre and she loves writing those particular kinds of stories where she can let her imagination run wild!
