About this listen

What happens when your best friend discovers your dark secret?

Life was already complicated enough for Apple Rose. After all, bubbly cheerleader by day and ruthless serial killer by night isn’t an easy feat to pull off. Even if her victims might deserve their twisted fate. But when her best friend, Cindy Nix, learns the truth, things becomes about as thorny as can be.

In some ways, Apple has always wanted to be seen and to have someone know the truest nature of her heart. But even this turn catches her by surprise. Will her bond with Cindy shatter now that the ugly truth is known, or will Apple be surprised again?

It was certainly tricky enough before, but now it’s about to get a whole lot worse. Especially with a complication neither see coming.

Whatever happens next, one fact is crystal clear… the truth can be a dangerous thing.

Ok that is a scary thought

A perky brilliant cheerleader murderer- there’s a scary thought. The terrible thing is that you are rooting for her. She is only giving bad guys what they (mostly) deserve. I guess that is a statement of how well written and performed this book is.

Weirdly I did enjoy this story. And one of the best parts is the ending.

I'm rooting for the bad girl! Can't wait for more!

Moral ambiguity always makes for a good read. Moral ambiguity with a sense of humor is even better!

Apple Rose is a cheerleader that has an odd hobby. That hobby involves the slightest case being a serial killer.

At my office job, I pushed play in the morning, and didn't pause once! The narrator did a phenomenal job getting into the characters, and there were moments that I was genuinely trying not to laugh at my desk, and others where I was still in all the right shocking moments.

Mr. Stanfield has two books (so far) in the series, and I can't wait for the next audiobook! Apple Rose rocks!

Forget “Joe from YOU” and “Dexter” Apple is the new KILLER of your dreams

Cute, bubbly, and loveable don’t usually describe a killer.
From the opening scene that reads like a twisted romantic rendezvous to the suspense filled final act this book will keep you on your toes.
Feminist, Fabulous, so much to love. (If you dig killers and crime, anyway!)

You’ll love Apple, Cindy, and Felicity so much! (Narrator is a treat lending strong unique voices to these well defined characters!)

Fellas, behave. Apple wants to put your terrible deeds on display. Unless you want to be a bloody art installation! (You really don’t.)

Great Psychological Thriller

This story follows Apple Rose, a clever but deceptively naïve high school cheerleader and her many frenemies. It seems she’s inherited something from her British grandmother and out of all the personality traits it could have been—Surprise—it turns out to be a proclivity for Murder.

She’s taken it upon herself to rid her Chicago suburb of members of the male population who have abused Apple’s young classmates. And she becomes very adept at delivering her brand of lethal justice—until something unexpected happens, then her life gets complicated.

Fans of psychological thrillers will enjoy the author’s gritty mix of suspense, violence, and intrigue, countered by the hint of a budding romance. Overall, The Bloody Rose is a well-crafted, immersive study of the macabre, featuring a young female serial killer as the most unlikely of villains.
