Six Scorched Roses by Carissa Broadbent
3.0
Fast read. Entertaining. Good short story.
I know it’s a novella and meant to be short, but I definitely think it should’ve been longer. A lot of things became very repetitive because the author didn’t have time to reveal them through actions instead of words. We’re told multiple times how familiar Vale is becoming instead of having time to be shown slowly that they are getting more comfortable around each other. We’re also told so many times how cold Lilith is and how she is unable to read emotions or connect with other people.
