Be careful with that one.These are the first words of advice given to Abel Sommerfeldt upon entering Silverwing Mental Institution. He has no idea what awaits him here, in a place where hope goes to die, and demons run rampant. Certainly not a disarmingly beautiful young woman with violent tendencies and an itch for defiance.She’ll paint the walls red with your blood.But Abel was never one to … blood.
But Abel was never one to listen. Not even to his dead mother, whom he still hears, whispering warnings about the girl named Rose with white blonde hair who feels like fate.
Basherte.
He quickly discovers just how dangerous freedom is for Rosamunde Montgomery.
Because sometimes, the most beautiful roses are riddled with thorns.
And he’s willing to learn the hard way.

It’s been a while since I’ve read this book… But I remember that I genuinely liked the plot and the undertaking of the storyline. The tone of the book is very gloomy and dark. Sick Fux is one of my all-time favorite books, and I consider this book as the “tamer” version of it. And just a fair W A R N I N G, If you’re looking for a CONVENTIONAL happy ever after, you will not find it in here…

I don’t find myself reading this style often but I am beyond glad I picked this up. This is still one of my top favorite books of all time. Just read it.
I love the overall story between rose and Abel, except I don’t like how the book ends, I did not truly expect that rose will did that to herself. I genuinely understand tho why she decided to do it and how everything was falling apart after that especially to Abel, he suffer the aftermath alone that leads him to the brink of madness in the span of 10 years I think. Nevertheless this is a dark romance book, expect the unexpected.
4.5 stars
I have to say that in the beginning the characters weren’t really likable to me,but i guess that was the point. Because of that it was hard for me to connect to them and their story, but boy did that change!!
All i know is all of a sudden i was rooting for these tragic beautiful psycho’s. Their love was palpable it was violent and sweet at the same time. Characters that you would fear and condemn in real life, you fall in live with in this story. Bonnie and Clyde Who?
I fell in love with this tragedy of a love story. My heart ached for both characters, Rose that can’t hide her violent nature and Abel that loves her in spite of her nature but at the same time fears it. Will she take him down with her in her violence? Abel is like Icarus who flew to close to the sun despite all the warnings, but will Abel like Icarus be destroyed by the sun?
I can’t praise Cynthia’s writing enough it is incomparable.
I lost my sanity with Abel & Rose, who needs it, anyway? Bloody love like few, poetic characters with a taste of madness , words caged in my brain.
Fabulous execution of evil and love strokes!
Cynthia A. Rodriguez in your talent, I rejoice.
What the he’ll did I just read?
This book is all kinds of crazy it’s like a train wreck about to happen and you just can’t look away crazy! If dark and insanely twisted is your forte then this is absolutely the book for you the word deranged came to minds a lot!
Would able be my book boyfriend? He’ll no that dude is as crazy as rose!
WOW, I’m not even sure what I just read! This is my first Cynthia Rodriguez book, but I’m hooked.
Rose and Abel, what can you say about a psycho monster and the guy who really loves her? I’ve yet to really figure out what to say.
This book had me hooked from the first page with all the twists, turns, dark, page turning madness. Rose is a character that you love to hate. I knew there was no way there could be a happy ending, but I was ok with that.
If you love madness, dark, toxic, you will love this book! Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Omg what the hell did I just read. This book had me hooked from page one, and I’m still reeling hours after finishing the last page.
This is book was a first book for me from this author and I’m hooked.
Bravo, this was a masterpiece
