Summary

Four months after the explosion at the Garden, a place where young women known as the Butterflies were kept captive, FBI agents Brandon Eddison, Victor Hanoverian, and Mercedes Ramirez are still entrenched in the aftermath, helping survivors in the process of adjusting to life on the outside. With winter coming to an end, the Butterflies have longer, warmer days of healing ahead. But for the agents, the impending thaw means one gruesome thing: a chilling guarantee that somewhere in the country, another young woman will turn up dead in a church with her throat slit and her body surrounded by flowers.

Priya Sravasti's sister fell victim to the killer years ago. Now she and her mother move every few months, hoping for a new beginning. But when she ends up in the madman's crosshairs, the hunt takes on new urgency. Only with Priya's help can the killer be found - but will her desperate hope for closure compel her to put her very life on the line?

Not quite as compelling at the first book

I liked that some of the characters were slightly familiar from the Butterfly Garden but I didn't feel this had quite the same grip on me.

I wanted to hear more from the Butterflies as it felt like they had very minor pointless parts in this book. Priya was a good character but I didn't feel engaged enough with her story.

It was good but I had higher expectations I guess, as I was so gripped by the first book

Awful

This is the first audible book I’ve abandoned. I can’t find a single positive thing to say. The storyline is very weak, the narration was irritating and quite frankly this book was so awful I was not even interested in finding out who the killer was! I read and mostly enjoyed Book 1 but my goodness this was my worst book purchase, ...end of.

Loved it

Loved this book. I especially liked the way the story from the first book carried over, with the trials of the 'butterflies after they escaped the 'garden'. Then the 2 stories almost combined with the FBI agents and the other characters becoming involved in each others lives.

good but not as good as the butterfly garden

the narrators do a good job (except when the guy is doing Priyas mum. he murders that accent)

the butterfly garden was really imaginative but this was kind of just an average, pretty predictable, murder mystery.

the author also has some really odd ideas of what you should do if you find out someone has binged on oreos. Probably avoid following this example

addicted.

so very in love with this story you have created and the intertwining between the first and second book yet theres so much more you get to learn about the characters from the first book as you are sunk deep into this new story. i have so much praise for the brilliant writing style and encapsulating stories Dot Huchison creates and i will be eagerly waiting for ALL future stories.
