Being the third book in this “series” I knew it wasn’t going to follow the OG story of The Butterfly Garden but I would’ve loved just a little more connection as it didn’t feel like it really belonged in this series.

These books are so incredibly beautiful and haunting. Can't wait for the next one to be released!

I really like the FBI agents in this series. They are presented as caring people who truly feel the pain of the children they rescue. In this installment, abused children are brought to Mercedes by "an angel" who first kills their parents, making them watch. The angel promises they will be safe now. Mercedes and the team have to find out who is doing this - and how it relates to Mercedes.
Characters are back from the previous 2 books, and it is like visiting old friends.

It was .....good?
Very repetitive plot, and an idyllic sort of writing I'm not used to from the author- actually nevermind, book 2 was sort of like this. This wasn't a thriller, this was a lifetime movie script.

Wow, just wow. Dot Hutchison found a way to create a murderer you can sympathize and almost agree with. Her books have continued to amaze me.
