The Butterfly Garden by Dot HutchisonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
HOLY CRAP!?!?!?!?
This is the kind of book I've been looking for--equal parts horrifying, disturbing, and intriguing. The Butterfly Garden is about girls who have been kidnapped by a man called the Gardner, who collects these girls and tattoos butterfly wings on them. They then live until 21, where they are killed and preserved for their eternal beauty.
When you read this, you're disgusted but can't stop yourself from wondering what happens next. It'll also have you screaming because when you think it can't POSSIBLY get any more messed up, it GETS MORE MESSED UP!!!!
The writing was absolutely beautiful. The style of the story, told as an interrogation, was actually really helpful and interesting. You know they make it out because Maya's being interrogated, but it keeps you on your toes because you really want to know HOW they got out of this madness.
This could be very triggering, as there are mentions of rape and drugs and abuse, but if that doesn't keep you away, I'd definitely recommend this for anyone looking for something thrilling and creepy.
