It felt as though Hutchison added them in as a way to make the book feel more adult, but for me, it did the opposite of that.Įddisons relationship with Priya? One, it felt totally inappropriate, even though there was nothing like that going on. For me, this read really immaturely and the constant use of random swear words only added to that.

This felt really YA to me, but I’m not seeing anywhere that anyone else is classing it like that. This could be the second in a series of Inara & Bliss & Eddison, or whatever, but don’t call it a sequel when that’s not what it is. This is a totally new book, with a new crime, it just has some of the same characters. Warning, that you’ll see on lots of others reviews… this isn’t a sequel. Did anything even happen in those first 100 pages? I read 100 pages of this book, which is a whole third of the story and nothing grabbed me. I really loved The Butterfly Garden last year and when I saw this, I was super excited to give it a read, but no. Only with Priya’s help can the killer be found-but will her desperate hope for closure compel her to put her very life on the line? But when she ends up in the madman’s crosshairs, the hunt takes on new urgency. Now she and her mother move every few months, hoping for a new beginning. Priya Sravasti’s sister fell victim to the killer years ago. But for the agents, the impending thaw means one gruesome thing: a chilling guarantee that somewhere in the country, another young woman will turn up dead in a church with her throat slit and her body surrounded by flowers. With winter coming to an end, the Butterflies have longer, warmer days of healing ahead. Four months after the explosion at the Garden, a place where young women known as the Butterflies were kept captive, FBI agents Brandon Eddison, Victor Hanoverian, and Mercedes Ramirez are still entrenched in the aftermath, helping survivors in the process of adjusting to life on the outside.
