The Black Rose: The Thorn's Lust
Seventeen-year-old Myra Rose Thorn was never meant to be free.
Born into the powerful Thorn vampire clan, she was raised to obey, to lead, and—if necessary—to kill. One of the strongest vampires of her generation, Myra had a plan: claim her place, protect her bloodline, and rule with strength.
But her family saw something else in her. Not a leader. Not a weapon.
A fragile flower.
A wild daughter to be tamed.
Now, she’s stuck in the role they chose for her—silenced, guarded, bound by duty.
And then there’s King Valerian Hiro Lust.
Loud. Arrogant. Human. He makes her blood boil—for all the wrong reasons. And yet, around him, Myra feels something dangerous. Something warm. Something human.
But Myra wasn't one of those vampires who was to love her mate, she was cursed to never be happy with hers. So if King was her mate
She would have to kill him
I love this book. The romance, the suspense, the fantasy, the mystery. I love Myra's attitude, King's humor and the undeniable chemistry between them. Each character in this book bringing their own thing to the story. Even though the book is not finish but from the chapters I have read I can give this book a 10/10. Good Work Mel!

I have to give this story some credit! I really am lucky to come across a worth reading gem! I loved how the story is breaking through the mould and twisting enough to get me popcorn at every twist and turn. :)
Forbidden love, vampire politics, and power struggles make for a thrilling read. Myra's journey is captivating, and her chemistry with King Valerian is undeniable. A compelling paranormal romance with complex characters and twists. A must read..💙
Melissa has written a peach of a story. I need more and more chapters. The plot is exciting, the writing is awesome and the characters are just so intriguing. Keep up with the good work author.
This e-book is built on a beautifully captivating concept that lingers long after you finish reading one of its chapter. While indeed it is still ongoing but what I love most about it is how it takes something familiar—vampires and humans—and breathes new life into it through emotionally rich storytelling. The story begins with Myra, a powerful and enigmatic vampire, whose world shifts when she crosses paths with King—a human living in the lap of immense wealth, yet surprisingly grounded. Their connection feels both impossible and inevitable, and that’s where the magic of the book truly lies. It explores the contrast between power and vulnerability, immortality and fleeting time, with a depth that’s both thoughtful and compelling. Kudos, Author! You did a great work here. More to come please.
The characters are on whole new level, the concept is amazing. A young vampire trying to find her way in the world and trying to unravel the secrets that surround her. the way this story is told is emotional, sometimes I feel like I can feel their pain, anger and happiness. Amazing work! Keep it up
