Such Pretty Flowers

Ugh, the spooky southern vibes!

And by ugh I actually mean I'm obsessed.

Savannah, Georgia, is cloaked in mystery.

The twisting trees, the Spanish moss, the elaborate city squares.

It adds to the illusion that something sinister is always lurking.

K.L. Cerra took that spooky feel and added such pretty flowers to it.

Such Pretty Flowers starts with a grieving family. Holly just lost to brother, Dane. But he sent her an eerie text the night of his apparent suicide.....

 

"So Maura wants to play this weird-ass game with me and I figured I'd let you know in case anything happened." 

 

Something did happen, Dane tried to disembowel himself with a knife.

Holly wants answers for her family. Something about that night just isn't sitting right with her. Sure, Dane had been slowly deteriorating, but no one expected that. So she starts at the source, his girlfriend Maura. Maura seems to be a local botanist, and even supplies her closest friends with tinctures and cures. Holly quickly agrees to move in and do some snooping around Maura and Dane's townhouse. Starting in the bedrooms seems too easy, but eventually she finds her way to the greenhouse....and that's where Holly sees the blood.

 

This was book a slooooooow burn with a very unexpected twist.

I loved every single second of it.
