The sequel ‘A rose should be red’ by Akaku is that perfect novel you can carry with you on your vacation. The story focuses on the difficult life of Jenny Brown, who is being threatened and tortured by a psychopath. Jenny wishes to have a normal life with her lover Tyler, but that is the last wish that would be granted. The story opens with Jenny being saved from dying, and when she tried to believe that she is safe and out of trouble, she is startled by the creepy things done by the psychopath. He doesn’t stop with her, he also starts to hurt the people dear to her. This guy will go to any extent to get hold of her.
What I loved the most about the story is the character of Jenny. The author has developed it as a courageous one, fighting for her life. A good read!

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good novel with great characters and an interesting plot

With a very catchy cover, this second book in the series caught my attention from the very beginning. A rose should be red -part 2- written by Akaku Red is a book that has a very good plot which hooked me from the first pages.
The author’s writing style is so good that she makes readers feel we are inside the story; I ended up feeling immersed in the read. Also, it is a middle length novel that reads quickly because it has a very good pace.
I really liked how the author managed to portray these main characters, especially the one of Tyler. I think she did a very good job with that.

“A Rose should be Red - Part 2: Confessions” is a young adult mystery novel written by Akaku Red. This is the second book in the series and it is thrilling.
Jenny has been a victim of violence and of a terrible past for as long as she can remember and she only wants to leave all that behind. The problem is that her torturer has come back to finish his job. Tyler is in love with Jenny and wants to help her. Will they survive to see another day?
Murder mysteries are my favourite kind of stories and this is a fine example of the genre. It is extremely well written with a plot and characters that build up suspense until it is released in unexpected ways. I really enjoyed reading this book and I strongly recommend it.

I thought the second book would give you some answers. Sadly it did not. In fact it kind of left you hanging. Not too sure I liked either one.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good second part
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2021

Akaku Red wrote the second part of the book called “A Rose Should be Red”. In this second part, the author describes a dangerous love that a psychopath feels for the main character.

Before understanding this serious issue, the plot seemed to be a little bit childish. However, then I understood that there was a sick person with an evil mind, and the whole story turned unputdownable.

Though I am not totally convinced about the way the climax of the story was built, and how the problems are solved, the book was good for a week’s read.

I give this story four stars out of five because it was entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect murder mystery read
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2021

I'm always down for a good thriller novel, and this fits that bill perfectly! Although I did not read Part one of the story, I felt that it read well as a standalone novel and provided enough of a backstory for readers to catch up with no trouble. Jenny's character was very likable and one that I could connect with on a complete level of understanding. I loved the premise of someone returning from the dead to haunt a lead character and the testing of trust that ensues. Though it is technically a murder mystery novel, I liked that the story was targeted to the YA audience, and it felt like an age appropriate read, though readers of a higher maturity level could also enjoy it. The added romance aspect thrown in with the mystery and suspense was also even more of a bonus and added a lot of emotion to the story that I certainly appreciated.
