The Diamond Rose is the first novel in an all-new series by Daniela Valenti. It’s a series that combines fantasy and romance into one thrilling and fast-paced read. Powers and passion combine to create something new and captivating here.

Amanda has been looking forward to her graduation from medical school for years. Literally. She’s proud of the work she’s accomplished so far, and has dreams for what will come next. However, what the future actually holds in store for her is not something she could have predicted.

You see, it turns out that there has been a power sleeping deep inside of her, and a solar flare has woken it. From that point, it doesn’t take long for her to learn that she is the Sentinel 10, both a power ranking and warrior title within a hidden society. As one might imagine, her world is about to change even more from that point onward.

It has been a while since I’ve been able to find a novel that so delightfully combined both fantasy and romance to such a degree. Amanda’s adventure is fast-paced and compelling, and is one of those easy to indulge stories. If anything, I wouldn’t have said no to seeing a larger novel in this case, as more time to explore this world and the powers would have been fascinating.

If you’re a fan of paranormal romance (especially ones that are fast reads), then the Diamond Rose is absolutely a novel that you should pick up.

Amanda’s med school graduation is unlike any other. A solar flare awakens her super psychic powers, enabling her to fight evil, supernatural and human alike. She is the Sentinel 10, the most powerful warrior in a secret society of similarly endowed people. Her life becomes a whirlwind of international travel and exciting paranormal challenges. But all is not as it seems. Soon Amanda discovers that the man she loves has an evil alter ego, and that her own powers have a dark side. This first year as a Sentinel will push the limits of her resilience, and put her own humanity to the test. The Diamond Rose is a thrilling and romantic adventure, the first in an exciting new series. Fans of paranormal romance will enjoy this tale of a female heroine who struggles to understand love and master her own powers.

Daniela Valenti is the pen name for a Canadian psychiatrist who writes Paranormal Fiction. That may seem incongruous, but it’s not really. The work in her chosen field and her writing dovetail nicely. She is able to draw upon her work as a psychiatrist to create multidimensional characters who are simultaneously powerful and vulnerable. Daniela lives in Montreal and holds a medical degree from McGill. She speaks French and regards herself a chatty introvert. Growing up, she was a voracious reader of sci-fi and fantasy. Her interests today include supernatural lore, skincare and fashion, gorgeous travel destinations, true crime, and learning about narcissism and psychopathy. She’s thought a lot about love and evil and maintains that narcissism is the true nature of all evil. Daniela has traveled extensively. Her love of the exotic dominates many of the settings where the characters in her stories romp and play their parts. Her prior attempts at writing began at age nine with a story about a doctor’s cat, and then a short sci-fi story at age twenty-three. Thirteen years later, her foray into serious-minded writing simply happened. She began writing in 2017, after she returned from a trip to Prague for an international forensic psychiatry conference. What she learned there, combined with her impressions of Prague, her prior ruminations on the nature of love and evil, and her clinical knowledge all combined to create the first book in her series. It was a moment when all sorts of aspects of herself, her life experiences and her interests came together, like a self-assembling puzzle. The story came to her like a movie, unfolding in her head as she sat on an airplane, staring at the screen-less back of the chair in front of her, for the eight-hour trip back to Canada. Once set in motion, the wheels of creation kept on turning, and resulted in the Sentinel 10 series.
