I really did enjoy this book. There is a part in there where I was like ... ok that's a bit far-fetched but it wasn't too much or even enough to ruin the book. I'm on to the next in the series now.

This is a dark book. So I don’t think this will be for everyone. It’s creepy, crazy, jaw-dropping, sad, and much more.

What I Liked:
-the idea of the butterfly garden is crazy! I needed to know what was happening and what the garden was.
-multiple POVs with the FBI and the main butterfly
-shocks and twists
-felt like a criminal minds episode

What I didn’t enjoy:
-the middle of the book was kinda a drag. It started out strong and then *crickets* and then it ended strongly again!
- Maya as a main character… I just didn’t care for what she had to say all the time.

please look at the trigger warnings as there is MANY!!⚠️⚠️
Overall im intrigued for the next book and would recommend it!

Pick this up if you like:

Just was not for me and found a lot of the characters and story line to honestly be pretty gross

I am going to have a serious book-hangover from this one! I was hooked from the first couple of pages, and I devoured it in about 24 hours.

The writing was so detailed that I could easily picture myself in The Garden surrounded by the other butterflies (NOOOO, thank you!) but the surprising thing was that I was more enthralled than disgusted by the disturbing topic, purely due to the way it was written.

All of the characters were spot on with the parts they played, and Inara was the best of all. Strong and fiesta but refreshingly intelligent in all ways.

I want to go back and read it again.
