Psychological thrillers are my favorite genre, and this one is top-notch!
The story revolves around the strange relationship between Holly and Maura. Maura’s moods swing quickly and wildly making life difficult for Holly as she tries to learn more about Dane’s life before his suicide.
The characters make the story, but I can’t say I liked them. Their personalities fit the plot, but I had a hard time knowing Maura is only 22 years old. She is the younger of the two, yet seems like she has much more knowledge and personal property than possible, even for a child of rich parents.
Using plants as an integral part of the story brought something different. There is mention of several plants and what they represent. I found that interesting. The atmosphere was eerie, and somehow the plants brought much of that creepiness. Such Pretty Flowers is dark, with a bit of the paranormal thrown in. It is such a unique take on death, with Dane’s suicide being caused by something that no one would think of.
Such Pretty Flowers flows well, keeps you engaged, and is a unique read. If you like psychological thrillers, you can’t go wrong with this one.
Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing this ebook for me to read and review.
