Eddison’s perspective is a welcome and refreshing one, as is Priya’s, but the pace is a bit too slow during the first half. Now, I think, finally, I’ll know what it is to bloom again.

But when she ends up in the madman’s crosshairs, the hunt takes on new urgency. Now she and her mother move every few months, hoping for a new beginning. Priya Sravasti’s sister fell victim to the killer years ago. 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. With winter coming to an end, the Butterflies have longer, warmer days of healing ahead. 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.
