Reviews with content warning for Sexual harassment - The Butterfly Garden

I initially rated this book 4 stars, but after a couple of months of it living rent-free in my mind, I decided to change that to a 5 star. My original rating was more due to the fact that this book left me not knowing how to feel. It was so different from anything I've ever read, both in content and layout.

Content-wise, it's a very dark book, and the characters go through numerous traumas. It's not for everyone. Check the trigger warnings.

Layout-wise, there are no chapters. That's unique, but it works with the story. There are two parts, and the POVs are broken up by section breaks.

Yes, it's a horrifying story, but I thought it was beautifully told, and the characters felt so real. I'm excited to read the rest of the series.

I have read this book before. Long ago. I loved it then, and I loved it now. It’s a psychological thriller that follows the most twisted of stories, through an FBI agency, the place that deals with children, and it becomes a series that follows. This takes crime stories to a whole other level, and the writing is an easy to read type, but also very thought out and intricate. Keeps you on your seat at all times. I really enjoyed it, especially because the author likes to hang on the idea of the victim knowing or doing more than the agents expect, leading to the capture of their perpetrators. These are twisted in the best kind of way.

Wow.
Esta demasiado intenso, es una historia muy fuerte, aunque el final cierra bien, hay una luz al final del tunel.
Esta narrado de manera muy unica e incluso al final sorprende un pequeño twist.
Definitivamente recomiendo checar los trigger warnings ⚠️ porque son a lo larggo de toooodo el libro.
Se gana sus 5 estrellas porque no le encontré ni un error, me engancho desde el principio
AUNQUE, no es de mis favoritos.
