In the Garden of Monsters by Crystal King
5.0

My mind is still RACING thinking about everything I just read!
This story mixes the history of Salvador Dali and the love story of Hades and Persephone. The pacing of the story is similar to a thriller where you just want to keep turning pages. I didn't put this book down and read it in under 6hrs. I loved how the meals served followed the journey the characters were on. The attention to detail in each dish was EVERYTHING! Do not read this book on an empty stomach and keep a snack ready at your side!
I have been fortunate enough to visit the actual Monster Garden in Italy and the description of all the statues and landmarks is impeccable and brought everything back to life in my mind from my last visit. A must see if you are ever in Rome.
