A hard book to review and an even harder book to read! Meet the ‘Butterflies’—young girls who were kidnapped by the Gardener and adorned with magnificent butterfly wings on their backs. There is no sugar coating; the girls are brutally raped, killed, and stored for safekeeping. One of the victims, Maya, recounts her captivity to FBI agents following their discovery of the Garden. Will justice be served? This book was seriously fucked up and I don’t know that I can even stomach the next three (!!!) books, but I’m going to try. I must also mention that although the undertones were incredibly dark, Hutchison’s writing was stellar. Damn. That was a lot. 🤕
Buddy read with my best friend for spooky season. 💞

Definitely lots of yuck, icky, gross moments. Very un-comfy at times. I liked the character of Maya/Inara. She’s flawed but was a super interesting journey and character development as time went on. The relationships between the girls felt very real and we got a villain we can detest.
My biggest gripe comes with the last 20ish pages, I did not vibe with that reveal and I feel like it kinda tainted a big portion of the story. All in all an interesting read.

I liked that the book wasnt linear, but it made it hard to follow at some points and remember who is who. Lots of female characters within the garden and in her apartment back home that i kept getting confused. Overall, i enjoyed l. Like an episode of criminal minds.
Will i continue the series? No i hate series
Will i recommend? Yes if u dont mind gross shit
Do i want to read more like it? Probably not because r*pe makes me real uncomfy
