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. With winter coming to an end, the Butterflies have longer, warmer days of healing ahead. 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.
Priya Sravasti’s sister fell victim to the killer years ago. Now she and her mother move every few months, hoping for a new beginning. But when she ends up in the madman’s crosshairs, the hunt takes on new urgency. 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?
Thought Provoking I loved the first book The Butterfly Garden. I was thrilled to find out that the series was going to continue and waited impatiently for this book to come out.
A great follow-up to The Butterfly Garden. Wow! Just wow! I loved the Butterfly Garden but Roses of May is even better. In the first book, you knew that one of the characters had survived because she was being interviewed by the FBI so, whatever had happened, that character was going to be OK. This is not the case with Roses of May, which ups the suspense by happening âin the present.â Priya lost her sister to a serial killer five years ago. She is broken, but she is strong and a fighter, like her mother. She has been “adopted”…
Butterflies Fly Free I would like to thank NetGalley, and Thomas& Mercer for an ARC of “The Roses of May” by Dot Hutchison for my honest review.
