I recently read - and fell head-over-heels for - the dark, twisted page-turner that is THE BUTTERFLY GARDEN by Dot Hutchison, Book 1 in Hutchison’s Collector Trilogy. Naturally, I had to get my hands on the second series installment, THE ROSES OF MAY, as soon as possible - especially because the final book in the series releases this May. THE ROSES OF MAY would be hard-pressed to be more different from its predecessor, focusing on the inner life of survivors of traumatic events, rather than the traumatic events themselves; if you’re a fan of THE BUTTERFLY GARDEN like I was, be sure to go into this book with the right expectations.
