Rose Petal Graves

I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
DNF @ 16%

This one of those cases where I requested a book based off of its cover.

I feel like I said most of what annoyed me already in my updates, but let me just reiterate them here.
> First off, I probably didn't read the description, because I generally don't read anything dealing with Native Americans. This isn't because I dislike Native Americans, but because I feel uncomfortable when those cultures are used as a jump off for a story “ancient burial grounds” “curses” it just... it is a bad stereotype I don't like participating in.
Now, I didn't read far enough into this story to know what is going to happen– I do know that Cat has a Hopi name when she is insert made up tribe name here and that really bothered me... I get not wanting to trample on another person's culture, but... I don't know really...

>Next up, how did the bones in the coffin turn to dust already (2 centuries?) and why does Cat ( a 19 y/o med student) believe this explanation? Bones of cavemen are still found today. Now, I'm not a scientist but I'm pretty sure it takes thousands of years for bones to decompose. And, I'm having a hard time believing Cat is in med school at ONLY NINETEEN.

>Lastly, and this one is really more personal, the writing style isn't my thing. I kept getting a paranormal activity or other horror movie vibe – as in the scene is being set, people ask stupid questions or do stupid things, bad horror movie acting– I must have messed it all up in my head.

To the above, I'd also like to mention that I had no idea where they were (name, climate, region, time of year) and I just wanted some information!

Plus side? Beautiful cover and I was intrigued by where the Fae lore was going, just not enough to get past everything else.
