The first book in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling Rose Gardner Mystery series.<br>
<br>
For Rose Gardner, working at the DMV on a Friday afternoon is bad even before she sees a vision of herself dead. She's had plenty of visions, usually boring ones like someone's toilet's overflowed, but she's never seen one of herself before. When her overbearing momma winds up murdered on her sofa instead, two things are certain: There isn't enough hydrogen peroxide in the state of Arkansas to get that stain out, and Rose is the prime suspect.<br>
<br>
Rose realizes she's wasted twenty-four years of living and makes a list on the back of a Wal-Mart receipt: twenty-eight things she wants to accomplish before her vision comes true. She's well on her way with the help of her next door neighbor Joe, who has no trouble teaching Rose the rules of drinking, but won't help with number fifteen-- do more with a man. Joe's new to town, but it doesn't take a vision for Rose to realize he's got plenty secrets of his own.<br>
<br>
Somebody thinks Rose has something they want and they'll do anything to get it. Her house is broken into, someone else she knows is murdered, and suddenly, dying a virgin in the Fenton County jail isn't her biggest worry after all.

Addicting series. These books just keep getting better and better.

A Great series starter. Twenty-eight and a half wishes introduces us to Rose Gardner and her world. We meet a Rose that has been beaten down by life. At just 24 years of age, Rose has resigned herself to the fact that she will never have a life. Stuck in a dead end job, living and taking care of an abusive mother, Rose has no life, no friends and no ambition to experience life. Then one day at work, Rose has a vision of her own death. This vision serves as a wake up call to her. Rose realizes that she has never lived or experienced anything in her entire existence. So she decides to make a list of everything she wants to experience before she dies. While Rose is out making her list, her mother is murdered instead. The police think she is responsible but a hunky new next neighbor is there to save Rose. As Rose begins to investigate her mother's death, she learns he life is not out of danger. As she fights to save her life, she also decides to complete her list for Rose is tired of being in the shadows and is ready to experience life.

Sarah k tasian

Tedious and eventually just stupid. This book starts out reasonably well written, then devolves quickly into predictable non-mystery that is neither suspenseful nor remotely realistic/plausible even for an escapist murder mystery. Most irritating is the protagonist’s constant usage of the expression ‘crappy doodles’ when in distress. The entire book quickly becomes ridiculous.

Unexpectedly great. Really good read. Well written

Ashaleeena

Read over and over again. I have read this series over and over again! I fall more in love with every new book! Keep them coming! Love this author so much!

BJacob.

Weird. I still don’t know what the point of the story was...I mean it had me reading through it quick because I wanted to know what happened, but I feel like I never got an answer as to why it happened. Very random.

Army06wife

Keeps You Turning Pages. I found this book addicting, I couldn't put it down. Every chapter keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering what's going to happen next. Recommend reading.

Sandy w 746

Cry baby. Cute enough story and good editing but omg ! how much crying can a girl do and still keep the interest of the story hero? Think about it ..... red face, swollen eyes, snot! Way too much.

MLM-5

Twenty-eight and a half wishes. Loved this book. It was funny. It was sometimes sad. It was romantic. It was uplifting.

Babs LaBouche

Twenty eight & a half wishes. It started off slow and odd but I am so glad I continued -I really enjoyed this story

Reikigirl7

Twenty-eight and a Half wishes. Very good book. Kept me wanting to read it as often as I could spare the time...even in the bathroom! Highly recommend it!

Mamadallama

Good read!. Really fun book. So much so that I'll be looking for Swank's other books. A lot of humor, a little romance and quite a few twists and turns.

28 half wishes. Loved this book!!

PRC-88

Cute, light, romance mystery!. This book was free on iTunes and I thought it looked good so I took a chance. Wow, wow, wow, I am SO glad I did! I am hooked on Rose and Denise Grover Swank!! I love the all the characters, their stories, and their mysteries. I love how the author writes in a way that just makes the pages come to life. I love that the story had blood and gore and murder but was still light-hearted and cute! I loved the romance. I love that it’s a little far-fetched but still incredibly relatable. I just LOVED this book!!

Captured heart

Best series ever!!. Love, love, love!!!! This entire series is the best!! Every book I had to read right through, I couldn't put them down. Can't wait for more!!

Rachel951

Twenty- Eight and a half wishes. It’s really difficult for me to get hooked on a book but since I read the first page of this book I couldn’t stop reading. This book had me completely hooked I finished it early than I’ve expected. I truly recommend this book especially to young girls. I’m looking forward to reading more books from this Author.

NANVE

THE BEST. I just love love love it

Mom.Tom

Twenty-Eight & A Half Wishes. I really enjoyed this unbelievable story about these 2 sisters with a witch of a mother the only thing I was unhappy about is because it’s an on going series ....don’t miss reading this delightful story....

Grooviemomma

The series that started it all for me. I can’t even begin to express how excited I was when I found this first book in the series. I love the supernatural touch to Rose’s character. I also love the balance of suspense and down-home feeling. I have read this book twice now and all of the subsequent books in the series. Now a DGS fan for life!

Neliel tu odalschwank

LOOVVVEEE THIS BOOK. My close friends mother actually recommended this book to me and you know I'm used to people showing me books and some times them not being good. So I was okay, I also went with her to meet to author and Denise is super sweet and nice, I loved her. But I had my face stuck in my phone reading this book through out penned con. The more I got into the book the more I just loved the characters and got into it and was super excited to read the next one. I highly recommend anyone who loves romance and mystery to read this book. The romance is incredibly refreshing and it blossoms beautifully. I highly recommend it.

Mysteryyygirl

Good book. Awesome book I’m going to get the whole series see where it goes .....

J Trout

New Find. I just finished Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes by Denise Grover Swank. It was both interesting and entertaining with original plot and characters. There were a couple of storyline surprises. This book held my attention, and I look forward to exploring more by this author.

AmyJoe18

AMAZING. So have read every single book in the series and it's amazing you won't regret it

MMM810808

Loved. Perfect book! Easy and fun to read but not shallow. I am already starting the next one in the series.

Punkernose

Great story. The story starts off way different then any I have read. Give this story a chance, with all the twists and turns it is one of my favorite books in a long time. I just purchased the second book!

CallunaW

Loved It!. I absolutely loved this book. I had a hard time putting it down. It was a fun, easy flowing, mystery book. I had kinda guested a few things but I love how it made me second guess some of what I thought was gonna happen. I love the characters and the story line. I also loved following Rose as she "blossoms" into herself as a person. It was a great world to get lost into.

Marcieboo123456788

Great book. I am very picky about the books i read, because i can’t just read anything. So with this book being free i was kind of skeptical about how good it would actually be and i am very surprised. I am so excited to finish this entire series! This book has just the right about of “love”, mystery, and comedy to keep anyone interested. Worth every bit of time spent reading.

Mrsdentaljock

Love, love, love!!!!. I stumbled upon this book and boy, am I glad I did!! Love Rose!! Could not put it down!! Cannot wait to start the next one!!!

Annitta1989

Non sense. Terrible writing, silly story for a first grader

Ashluihn

Clear your schedule. Clear your schedule because you’ll want to read this book in one sitting. Scratch that, the entire series. Every chapter draws you in, in a page turning suspense that you can’t put down. Back in 2014 I was going through a divorce and needed some type of romance/ suspense to take my mind away from the turmoil of my broken heart. I found 28 and 1/2 wishes. Honestly, I only downloaded it because it was free, and I had no idea what I was in for. Buckle up because you’re in for a wild ride. Denise has a way of pulling the reader into the story where your soul is aching for more. This series features a strong female lead who grows with each book. There’s a little bit of mystery, a whole lot of suspense mixed in with a little romance, and a dash of criminal activity that tugs on your heart strings. I never want the Rose books to end. Denise, take all my money!

Ppirt

Twenty Eight and a Half Wishes. Excellent book! Very entertaining!

ASK - Anna

Just Buy It!!! You won’t be disappointed. I love this series. Happened upon the first one as something to fill my time and finished all of them in a matter of a few weeks!!! Well worth the money, cannot recommend enough or so explain how much I loved this series.

7Farleys

Twenty Eight and a Half Wishes. I’m a new reader of Denise’s books, but I absolutely love what I’ve read so far. I’ve been a Nora Roberts, Sandra Brown, Danielle Steel and others reader. But I’m reading yours back to back. Thank You for the great reads. Joyce

Jami Caven

Coming back to where it all began. This is my second time reading this book. I fell in love with the series years ago and upon reading it a second time- find myself falling for the series all over again. Crazy what you miss (and simply forget) when it’s been a while. There are so many books in the series so brace yourselves, it’s a long journey ahead! One I’m excited to follow again *hint hint* if that tells you anything. 😉

Jennalynnlisle

MUST READ. WOW!! I could NOT put this book down!! Not a single dry or slow spot AT ALL!! 10 STARS!!

Ccoodey

Sookie!. Reminds me so much of Charlane Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books and I've missed them soooo much!

Hlgpooh

Thrilling!. Rose is an ordinary person, working in a mundane job, when her life suddenly changes. From the first paragraph, I knew I wanted to read more. I was on the edge of my seat at times and just when I thought I had something figured out, there was an unexpected twist that took me by surprise. This is honestly one of the best books I have ever read and I am so excited that I stumbled into the series.

Booma3

Awesome. I started reading your books when this one offered free couldn't wait to the next one came out every body keeps say I read it get rid of them but I can't I very them every year since sometimes more I am aww every time I do thank you so much for your time to entertain all your reads you are greatly appreciated thanks dawn

Jadedragon1701

Thrilling!. Rose is beautifully unique. I am hooked and need to know more. The book offers the best descriptions in order for readers to play their own movie in their head while reading. This book is a mystery, romance, and empowering. The main character is someone to be loved by everyone, she is relatable, and has depth. This book is a must read. It covers laughter, suspense, heart ache, joy, sorrow,and inner strength.

Mahnoor55555

Awesome. This book was amazing! It might not seem like much at first, but I beg you to keep reading-you totally won't regret it! Light-hearted, likeable characters, comedic and serious, keeps you guessing until the end with a few too many surprises :)

Weird but good. Weird but a good book

Liddylace

Really liked this one!. This is a cute storyline with lots of action thrown in near the end! I liked Rose and her sister. I am sure the next books in this series will be just as much fun.

I love this apppppppppopp

24and a half wishes. This was a good book and is an absolute page turner!

Tiitexmimi

Amazing. One of the best book ever

Signchick1

Twenty eight and a half wishes. I loved this book, and Denise's writing style. Mystery and humour, mixed with just enough romance ( 3 pages was enough for me). I love the titles, the reason I opened the book. Time for me to find out what Miranda Steele does next.

Apple017

You’ll get hooked. Great book! A must read. 😍

Jac011972

Shannon Whitehead

Twenty eight and a half wishes. Excellent book ! A def must read

Fifi26*

Couldn’t put it down. The first of many in this great series. A must read is this and all the others in the series and then the continuation with Rose and Neely Kate. Love all the characters and how they entwine with each other. I hope the books continue for a long time.

KB1901

Enjoyable read. Despite the grammatical and spelling errors I enjoyed this book thoroughly. Rose has such an inspiring and fun story and I can't wait to read the other instalments!

Reviews2014

Predictable. I was hooked at the beginning and then it just became so predictable.

Gaby2210

Loved it. Thank you for sharing this book and introducing me to your writing. I will come back for more

ICF1026

A must read. Wittily written and enough suspense to keep me hanging. Hard to put down until you get through the end. I will certainly get the pack, so I don't miss a series :-)

Hahejdnauakrjrisuss

Loved it!. Great, easy read!

Strawberrybonde

Crappy doodles!!. What sort of unbelievable, 20 something heroine runs around muttering crappy doodle, which where I come from means, "a penis covered in excrement!" . I found the female protagonist totally unbelievable and the American grammar annoying. A reader in English should not be able to so clearly pick an author's nationality through poor grammar. "Off of" is not acceptable! It is simply off! Crappy doodles!

Very cranky

Mushy Bits aside, this story is a good read. Buy!. A mystery with a love angle thrown in. Honestly, the love thing could have waited for book two, but Miss Swank writes the story so well, you can climb in bed with them and just gloss over those bits, because you will find you really want to know who knocked off Momma, and does our witty heroine die? Only her precognition will tell..

Gmwal3

Crappy doodles. Seriously, "crappy doodles" gets old fast.

Anthypanthy

Very predictable. Very predictable, I must be psychic too. Also very cheesy

SarahD467

Couldn't put it down!. Read it in two days just couldn't stop reading

Eve_angel

I couldn’t stop. This is my second novel I’ve ever read. I loved it. I read the sample e-book first and at the beginning I wasn’t too interested. But the more I read kept me going and of course, I bought the full e-book! I loved the way how Rose was so sarcastic about some things - it made it more interesting and funny. The mystery just never ends too. Enjoy everyone.

Fabricaholic50

Good Read!. A very enjoyable read. I will definitely read more from this author.

Loved every page

The best. I haven't read a book that was so intriguing in a long time. Made me laugh, cry and kept turning the pages. It is a must read

Ang87

Great read!. A must read! Fantastic series, perfect mix of humour, mystery and romance. Paid for and read the other 4 books and waiting for the next to come out! So addicted..!!!

Kirilee28

Amazing. Such a fantastic book. Hoping my local library has these!

Bag1963

28 & 1/2 wishes. Loved it, loved it A very witty, smart entertaining book, couldn't put it down. Loved both the heroine and hero. Predictable plot lines but some twists that keep you guessing. Now one of my new authors to read. Thanks for a lovely book

Moookiesrowe

Good. Good book

Mumoftwokids

Like a self published novel. If you like fanfic with OCs then give this a try. The self depreciating humour is enjoyable but the plot could have done with a decent editor. For example, I still don't know what happened to those apple pies that were in the oven when the power went out. Don't expect any surprises, just go along for the ride.

Pottumpuss

Perfect timing. This series came along at the perfect time in my life, it's inspired me to make the changes that are necessary to be able to live MY life and not the live someone else's. Thankyou Denise, keep them coming I'm loving Rose and her tenacity and her discovery of life and herself. She's making some damn good friends too.

Alexi198825

Fast paced and delightful. I did tear up a few times which was embarrassing for me hahaha the main character was immensely likeable in the fact that even though she would get upset she wouldn't let it get her down for long, a very enjoyable read and quick to get to the point

Monika_xo

Great. This is brilliant. I was hooked from the very first page and finished this in a day. Made me laugh. A lot.

M Y S E L F

This book turned me into a DGS fan!. This is the book that got me hooked on Denise’s writing!

Amelio23

Love love love. Wish I could forget this story so I could read it again for the first time. Amazing. Totally hooked, the whole series is captivating!!!

Miss Trishy

Twenty-eight and a half Wishes. The story caught my interest immediately with a great start that had me from the first page. Tried to read a chapter or two each night, it found it couldn't put it down. A good read.

Somebody who wasted time

Twenty-Eight and a half wishes. I never review books but I loved this. Denise has a brilliant sense of humour and an exceptional talent for writing. I treat e books as a public library but I've actually purchased more of her books.

Lifejuicey

Review. I bought this book for my iPad so that I could take it on holiday with me for casual reading. I couldn't put it down. It took me to a part of the world that I didn't know. The main character Rose is so unusual but a person you could relate to and feel very sorry for. Lots of action with love and romance thrown in. Absolutely super.

Abijohnson1710

Absolutely great book. loved reading the Rose gardner books , have read all but the last book now and it’s absolutely amazing and thoroughly gripping throughout, took me on an emotional rollercoaster and I’ll be so sad when i finish the last one.

Irishrosie

Quite suprised !. I really enjoyed this , it's a page turner I am defentily going to download the rest of the books in the series .

Moniquex68

Twenty-eight and a half wishes. A brilliant read from start to finish. I couldn't put it down!

Precious10Oct

GREAT READ. i couldn't put this book down once i started. It's not what i expected and i fell inlove straight away and now i must finish all the Rose Gardner mystery books. I don't normally leave book reviews but i has to for this book that's how good it is!!!!!

Nicx82x

Worth a read. I downloaded this from the iBooks free books chart and it was much better than the usual freebies you get on there. Good story line and for the most part well written. Only bit that grated a little was the use of “crappy doodles”. Well worth a read.

Jenna2424

Good read. Good storey !

Betty boop and the magic

One of the best books I've ever read!!. I simply purchased this book because it was free and was #1 in the charts. It truly deserved that place because I couldn't put this book down. It is so intriguing and every chapter makes you want to read one more page. This is such a good book. I've just finished this book and hope to read the next 7. I can't wait for books 9 and 10 to come out in March and April. No doubt, I would recommend this book to absolutely anyone! It made me shiver with excitement at the end!

Stacey.H

Twenty eight and a half wishes. Amazing!!! Absolutely hooked! I didn't go to university today.... Instead I took the day off and read this whole book!! I'm about to buy the 2nd one :-D

Lucky Frisbee

First time to bother writing a review. Loved this book, it's several notches higher than the usual e book. A cracking good yarn, interesting characters and a dash of romance. Go on, give it a go. Believe all the other reviews!

P_meow

Really good. Really good read. Love Rose and Mark, hate Violet and especially hate Joe, but still excellent book.

Bobby's mammy

Could not put this book down!. Amazing story, lots of twists addictive reading!!

Jodiebaby101

Amazing. Great book, had me hooked from start to finish can't wait to read the second !

G'smum

Completely addictive.. In places it's a little daft, but it makes you cry, laugh, love, hate, all in a matter of a few pages. Rose is a great character and I've read all the available books, I can't wait for the next one. Easy going, but extremely moorish!

Cydyfugohph

Great. Gd read

Humybe

One of the best books I've ever read!!. Must read - you just can't stop reading. Just loved it

Emzy93

Easy to read, hooks you into the series.... This book is easy to read and then pulls you in with the catchy storyline making it a read you don't want to put down until you reach the end. I am glad I didn't read this before the second book was written as I don't know how I could have waited for Rose and Joe to develop in their characters and what the next mystery is going to be.....

Caz-1985

Loved this book!. Was hooked from start to finish! Lots of ups and downs...highly recommend!!

Snookie2

Great read. Seriously addictive. Off to but the next one :-)

Boppy-Bethan

💯👌. I love this book so much! One of my favourite books!😄 I recommended this to 2 people and they loved it!

Zeestar24

Ok storyline lacking depth and explanation. The story was good but the characters lacked depth and description. Emotional reactions to situations were lacking. Wasn't a bad read, but wasn't gripping either

Apes04

Really enjoyable read. I really enjoyed reading this book, there were a few times the flow of language wasn't quite right but apart from that a really easy read. When I'd finished I couldn't get the story out of my head, keeps you guessing. Highly recommended

Kebatts

Twenty Eight and a Half Wishes. This is a gripping book which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. The book could do with proof reading though as there are a number of errors, either words missing or typos. They did not spoil the story though. Great book.

Hcjeskzmx.

Weeshaz67

Amazing. I loved this story !!! The characters are amazing and the story is exciting !! I loved watching Rose grow from beginning to end. I love the family relationships and complications, the love interest (yummy) but most importantly, all the twists and turns that has you on the edge of your seat dying to know what’s next !! I can’t wait to see what’s next for Rose and muffy !!

Foxxienan1

Twenty Eight and Half Wishes. A great read, funny, yet gripping and well written, and need to read more, bit predictable, but enjoyed the book, for a free book no complaints😃

Bleurgh286

Utter piffle. Difficult to imagine how this could be worse. I've read better from 9 year olds.

28 and a half wishes 😍. I fell in love with this book! Everything was so unexpected and I'm still a little confused as who did kill Roses mum. Will definitely be reader the other two books! :) x

8UD9ii3

Fine Holiday Read. The mid section of this novel was fairly gripping, however perhaps due to genre, much of the story was predictable before situations were confirmed. Easy to read.

Amazing!. I am on the fifth book and can not wait for the sixth book to come out! It is the best series I have ever read and I could read the book in one day if could! I urge you to read them!!

Fallen in love with these books. I love these books I've read it cover to cover within days as I couldn't put it down. I'm hooked and have downloaded the whole series and read them back to back. Eagerly awaiting the next book. Denise Grover Swank never fails to deliver a good book. She's fast becoming one of my go to authors when I'm looking for a new book. Highly recommend all her books.

Ticks all boxes!!. I loved this book so much I could hardly put it down! It was refreshing and more gripping than the romances I usually read. The characters were very likeable and I was rarely frustrated at their actions which I often find happens. However, I felt very content with the ending of this book and didn't feel desperate to indulge in the other books in the series immediately. This is a good and bad thing as I hate cliffhangers but I feel as though this book could stand alone without any sequels. Alas, I still recommend it highly and will probably read the sequels when I have time. READ THIS BOOK!!

Hmmmm. Sorry what's the sisters name? ... Violet Beauregard ... Seriously? Is this writer having a laugh? I'll watch out for the Umpa Lumpa "/ Other than that I'm quite enjoying this book :)

Bri Kallstrom

Love love love it!!!. This book started it all for me, after reading this book I was automatically hooked. Rose is the main character and I absolutely love everything about her and her story. I have read this book at least three times and every time I go back I find more and more subtle hints about the next books that I missed the first and the second time around. I recommend this book to everyone, you will absolutely love it!!

Love this series!!. I am absolutely in love with this whole series. It's a whirlwind of emotions and excitement. You almost feel like the characters are real. Every time a new book comes out I have to start all over and re read them all before I read the new one. I love this series and will never stop.

Cedel3347

I got so attached!. I downloaded this one for free and just HAD to have more, so I pre-ordered every next one after that! What's a Facebook and TV, when you've got Rose Gardner!!

MeghanS.

Love!. Highly recommend this book!

Hava nice day

Good characters.. I really like this book, liked the story line, characters! Easy to read. Good choice.

CheroTalian

Truly enjoyed. Truly enjoyed reading this and looking forward to reading the next

Sided candy

Good. I really liked the book but it was a little slow.

F.O.K.M

So Nice I Read it Twice. It's an interesting tale of a young lady who hasn't really lived and is making up lost time while facing a dangerous situation. The characters really breathe; there's believable dialogue. The ending is a bit unexpected. I would highly recommend it to my friends.

Dagmabbit

Amazing read!. I found this on iBooks and I couldn't put it down. It was free and I have purchased the second one already. I am excited to start it. Amazing, and will keep you wanting more!

I saw that coming...oh wait never mind. I was so happy to see the direction of the book. I worried initially that the main character would turn out to be a certain way, but who actually showed up was a totally relatable, enjoyable and AWESOME character. Every time I saw something coming, I was wrong and I'm actually (for once) happy about it. I can't wait to read book 2!

Amoultrie

Yes!. Obsessed with the series. I’ve spent so much time staying up until about 3 or 4 in the morning because I couldn’t stop reading!

Playing to relax

Third and final try.. Review doesn't get sent. Quite good mystery -romance.

Joying B

The most addicting series I've ever read!. I downloaded the book for some light reading and it turned out that I couldn't put it down. There are some slow party's toward the middle but the rest of the series leaves you at the edge of your seat! I'm obsessed!

Piano girl329

Excellent!. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it!

Madison Scotty Dog

Loves2read. It was a good book and a quick read. Good characters and story development.

Alidadiaz

Amazing. Loved this book, getting ready to read the other books !!

Miick002

Loved it!. 4/5 cause I've of course read better. If you want an easy read this is a great one! The book is full of surprises and shocking moments. Definitely couldn't put this book down, I raced to finish it. With the book being free there is NO harm in getting this to kick back and relax because in the end you will enjoy most of it!

Goofysandra

Prepare to become an Addict!!. I absolutely LOVE this book and series!!! So glad I downloaded it for free. If I hadn't I would have missed out on a great book/series and a fantastic, awesome author. I have read the series and every book by Denise since. This book has humor, wit, mystery and romance. Rose is such a fantastic character. I love watching her evolve and start standing up for herself. She starts out a very innocent young woman who hasn't experienced much in her life and has let others control her, especially her mother. After seeing a vision of herself dead, she decides that she wants to live life to the fullest. She discovers a lot about herself and that she is stronger than she had thought. And then there's Joe (sigh). I love him and Rose together. Denise does a fantastic job with their relationship. I could feel the chemistry between the two as I read. Denise is now my favorite author. She writes a story that always pulls you in and makes you feel like you are there with the characters. Be prepared for a book hangover!! When you pick up this book make sure you have time to read because you will not want to put it down. And you will most definitely be wanting to continue the series.

Cocoabean321

Love Love Love. This book is so wonderful. Once I pick it up, I can't put it down. If you like action, romance and suspense all rolled into one- this is your book. The author does a great job making you feel like you're actually there. Great read!!!

Sable<3u!

Great book!. First, the whole series is amazing! It is so down to earth and makes it feel so real. I love how I can relate to Rose in so many ways with her "men troubles" and daily life. Additionally, I love how the book has so many plot twists and that nothing really is cliché. Besides the point, the author has a true imagination and mind for writing. I applaud Mrs. Denise! Keep up the work. I know your children are proud of you!

LyssaGirl93

Must read!. These books will keep you on your toes! I loved all of them!!

Bdnsnsnsnsj

Review. I really enjoyed this book! There were certain parts I wish were better, but overall it was a quick read and a page turner!!! Once I started reading, I couldn't stop!

Vikcza ☺️😍

I love it. I started reading over the summer and read all the books in a week... I did research figuring out when 35 and a half conspiracies was coming out and I got it the day it came out exactly when I woke up. I read that in two days. I love this series and can't wait for the rest! Don't stop writing this series! I can't wait for the next one to come out in May! I'll keep waiting! And if anyone can, help me find another good book!

Post grad

Couldn't put it down!. Wonderful plot, that kept me guessing the whole time! Every story line was interesting and the characters had depth. Joe & Roses love was my favorite! Only con... I'm now literally terrified of someone breaking into my house!

Loved!. Loved this book so much!!!!! I seriously could not put this book down, read in 1 day! Can't wait to read the second !!!!

Knhmaggie

AMAZING BOOK!!!!. I'm so in love with this book. This book has kept me interested in it since I began reading the first page. It is so hard to stop reading it. This book is a perfect mystery/romance book I've found so far!

Bossbella92

Woah. This book was freaking amazing!!! Hadn't read one like this since high school strongly recommend this one.

✌️Music_101

Must Read. I couldn't put the book down. Amazing from beginning to end 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

ByFelicia

Taking a chance turned out to be the best. This book was recommended to me by my niece. Being the book lover that I am I gave it a shot and never looked back! Denise Grover Swank has a way of creating a world full of characters that you feel you've known your whole life. To say that I loved this book is an understatement. I connected to Rose's quirkiness and her shyness. Who doesn't wish we could have a special ability? But one day that ability puts Rose in quite the predicament. In a case of who did it, the clock is ticking and Rose is running out of time. If you love a good mystery that will have you laughing on the edge of your seat, give Rose a chance. You won't regret it!

Clear as Crytal

Amazing. The author really describes things with so much detail that you feel like you ARE the character and makes you feel the same emotions the main character feels

Fjb03

Great Book!. I loved it, good from chapter 1, till you finish. Love the characters, can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Jessicabellah

THIS BOOK !!!!!!!!!!. best book ever.

Xo_.

Rose Gardner Series. This series is amazing! I could never put the book down!

JRTerrier17

Love Rose. Lots of fun with a scrappy and sympathetic heroine and good plotting. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

FleaBittenVarmit

Good Read. I usually don't like to read but I finished this is about 3 days. Good story and kept me guessing til the end. Everytime I thought I knew what was happening a twist was thrown in the mix. Other than a couple of misspelled words it was great. But that alone is enough to keep me from purchasing any books with money. If the second is free I will DL it later today.

Cowgirlup0523

Twenty eight and a half wishes. This is the best book I have ever read I absolutely despise reading I started reading this book and I fell in love with them I stayed up all night reading this and that is saying a lot for me

Lexi xoxo's

Must read!. Loved reading this! It has humor, darkness, love, and excitement!

Shayla3648

Amazing. This book was great, once I started reading, I couldn't stop!

Sierra82614

Fantastic. I began reading this series because it popped up when I googled "best free books for iPhone." I was hooked immediately and did not hesitate to buy the rest of the series. The only downfall is the wait for the next installment, and the fact that I did not see the boxed sets offered, instead paying for every book separately. That's my own fault and I am still happy about purchasing every book. Well worth the cost!

Rnb77

Perfect book!. Love love love!
