The Roses of May

The Collector, Book 2

De: Dot Hutchison

Narrado por: Siiri Scott, Will Damron

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 like the Butterflies

While I enjoyed the book, it certainly didn't compare to the first book, The Butterfly Gardens. It lacked the thrills and excitement of the first book.

Second book

Loved both books Could not wait for the second one to come out. Could not stop listening. Writing style captivating. Cannot wait for her next book.

Another Demented Collector

The story unfolds through the words of both killer and victim. We are taken back and forth between the present and the past. We are also privy to the thoughts of a key FBI agent and brings in some interactions with victims of the Collector in the Butterfly Garden. This does not mean it is necessary to read the Butterfly Garden first, but it will surely make you want to read it now if you haven't already. Reading this one first may, however, spoil Some of your enjoyment of the first Collector book. I found this suspense filled story highly entertaining!

Such a thriller!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the audible book. The second book goes in a different investigation but I really enjoyed it. There is some crossing from the butterfly investigation and it gives the reader a update on what’s going on too. We also get to hear from some of the butterfly’s too. Going to get book #3 now. It’s such a thriller and captivating book!

The story telling just gets better

LOVED IT!!!! The 3 agents with hearts of gold. So glad we find out what is happening to the butterflies after their release.
