BOOK REVIEW The Rose by PD Alleva

I don’t normally read sci-fi and I think this is something that happens to a lot of horror readers.

Nevertheless, PD Alleva knows how to deliver an amazing story. Characters are so real that you can even hear them in your mind.

When you start the first chapter you understand why the five-star reviews have been raining on him.

The thread is complex, this is not the average little tale. The author places us at the end of a World War, where the war itself is the last thing to be worried about.

He uses sci-fi elements to keep you in constant tension, such as reptilian creatures, alien descriptions that would steal your our sleep for weeks.

How would you feel if you suddenly discovered that below your feet there’s a horrifying civilization to be terrified of?

That is especially one thing I loved about this author: he is not conformed with mixing aliens and vampires, no.
He builds up such strong character psyches that he is going to make the vampire lovers, love his vampires and the alien fans, love his aliens.

I really couldn’t put it down because the action never stops. It very rarely happens to me.
I must thank the author for not falling on cliches, otherwise, he makes use of traditional elements that will make the horror fans fall in love with his narrative.

Also, one thing to highlight is the deep psychological work on characters that he develops. You can perfectly see the effort built behind it. Even when you don’t realize it, this is what makes a book excellent. Avoiding mediocrity, easy ways out, quick endings and impossible time frames.

I honestly recommend this book, which makes your heart beat until the end. If you don’t believe me, because you’re not keen on reading sci-fi or you don’t like your horror mixed, I invite you to read all the reviews on the Amazon page because you’ll see I’m not alone on becoming a number one fan of The Rose.
