The Butterfly Garden (The Collector #1) 
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...
This book was my kindle first May pick and it's very disturbing. *TRIGGER WARNING: RAPE*--->EXCERPT<---In terror she spoke, letting sink her wings till they trialed in the dust--in agony sobbed, letting sink her plumes till they trailed in the dust--till they sorrowfully trailed in the dust.But my wings couldn't move and I couldn't fly, and I couldn't even cry.

*Spoiler*The Butterfly Garden reads like a derivative of Tarryn Fisher's Mud Vein. And much like my experience with MV, this book kept my attention from the first and until the last page; yet, I found it so vacuous I'm almost certain that I Iost some neurons.

I was good at escaping people, not manipulating them. Actual Rating: 3.5 Stars. I've been sitting here with my mouse frozen for a little while now because I have to say, this could have been a five up until the final chapter. I'm joining the ranks of almost every reviewer on the page - the ending reveal is horribly anticlimactic, and I'd argue that element should've been changed.

This book had me absolutely mesmerized! Right from the first chapter all the way to the end, I was held captive. The Garden sounded absolutely idyllic except for its purpose. Everything sounded beautiful except for The Gardener.I really don't want to touch on the plot or the characters. Go into this book ignorant. Don't even read the blurb. Let it seep under your skin, into your heart, and into your mind. I loved the characters, especially the strong main character Maya and the patient SpecialThis book was my kindle first May pick and it's very disturbing. *TRIGGER WARNING: RAPE*--->EXCERPT<---In terror she spoke, letting sink her wings till they trialed in the dust--in agony sobbed, letting sink her plumes till they trailed in the dust--till they sorrowfully trailed in the dust.But my wings couldn't move and I couldn't fly, and I couldn't even cry.
