The Review: The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison

   The Butterfly Garden starts off with a young girl in a cold interrogation room and the FBI agents, Special Agent Victor Hanoverian and Brandon Eddison who are assigned to this case are just agents to think she may have had a hand in this sick and twisted crime. Maya slowly opens up about what happened in the Garden and eventually how she got there in the first place. It is soon discovered that Maya’s name is actually Inara. She has had a rough upbringing that may have been one of the many reasons she seems so calm and collected after witnessing such horrors from the Gardener. Throughout the novel, many gruesome events are revealed and enough twists and turns to give you whiplash. What else happened in the Garden and can any of the surviving young girls really be saved?

   This novel is one of the best crime pieces I have read in a very long time and kept me interested throughout. I grew to love each and every one of the characters and felt absolutely devastated when more information came to light. I recommend this book to anyone who loves in depth crime books with plenty of mystery. 10/10

Review: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

    Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is about a 16 year old, American boy who has grown out of his Polish Grandfather’s fantastic fictions about his life on an island after escaping the Nazis during World War II. Jacob Portman has lived a pretty dull life with the exception of his Grandfather’s more occurring episodes. His dementia has been getting worse and his impossible stories of his childhood in the refugee home started to become real to him. One night Jacob receives a frantic call from Grandpa Portman, asking for a key to his gun safe and how he needed to protect himself. Jacob stopped by his home only to find his grandfather in the woods, close to death and a blackened creature dashing further into the trees. Jacob soon uncovers photos and a letter while he is helping clean out his Grandfathers home. Could there really be an island off the coast of Wales with a house that was more than a refugee children’s home? Could it be possible that the stories about the levitating girl, the boy who housed bees in his body and many more, are true? Jacob sets off to discover the dangerous secrets his grandfather wanted him so desperately to know.

  I loved how Ransom Riggs incorporated actual photos to make this story seem realistic and it adds a whole new dimension of (mainly) creepy. He does a very good job of knowing how much mystery should be held throughout the novel in order to keep a reader on their toes and wanting to know more. The plot is refreshingly different and I wasn’t able to guess what the next turn would be. I would recommend this to those who love fictional stories that give a feeling it could have actually happened and leaves you thinking if there is more to this world than we are aware.

Until Next Time…
