I bought this book for my first attempt at the PopSugar Reading Challenge in 2018. Then, things got away from me and I found a different book for the prompt I was going to use it for. So when it was one of the club books for this month in one of my book groups on Facebook I decided it was time to get it read. OMG....why did I wait so long? This is such a great book. It is enthralling and chilling. It keeps you entertained. There were so many unexpected turns. For the most part being told from the perspective of a victim retelling what they have been through. Maya/Inara is an amazingly strong young woman. The Gardener and his oldest son are creepy, disgusting and terrible men. So glad I finally got this book read. Looking forward to finishing the series now.
Blurb:
Near an isolated mansion lies a beautiful garden.
In this garden grow luscious flowers, shady trees…and a collection of precious “butterflies”—young women who have been kidnapped and intricately tattooed to resemble their namesakes. Overseeing it all is the Gardener, a brutal, twisted man obsessed with capturing and preserving his lovely specimens.
When the garden is discovered, a survivor is brought in for questioning. FBI agents Victor Hanoverian and Brandon Eddison are tasked with piecing together one of the most stomach-churning cases of their careers. But the girl, known only as Maya, proves to be a puzzle herself.
As her story twists and turns, slowly shedding light on life in the Butterfly Garden, Maya reveals old grudges, new saviors, and horrific tales of a man who’d go to any length to hold beauty captive. But the more she shares, the more the agents have to wonder what she’s still hiding...
