Six Scorched Roses

Review: Six Scorched Roses by Carissa Broadbent

Six Scorched Roses is a dark and captivating fantasy that explores themes of vengeance, power, and sacrifice. The title itself, “Six Scorched Roses,” holds deep symbolic weight. The “roses” represent love, beauty, and fragility—often used in literature to signify something pure and sought after. However, the “scorched” aspect suggests that these roses have been irrevocably damaged, burned by betrayal, tragedy, or a dark past. This aligns perfectly with the novel’s themes of broken relationships, revenge, and the irreversible consequences of the characters’ choices. It’s a title that encapsulates the novel’s emotional depth and its exploration of how love can be both a weapon and a curse.

In short, Six Scorched Roses is a poignant and gripping story about the scars left behind by love and loss, with a twist that makes it impossible to forget.
