Book Review: The Hungry Butterfly
Until Brenda discovers some concerning facts about the company facilitating the trial. Why is FixMe so impatient for results? She keeps telling her manager you can’t change lives overnight, but Thomas doesn’t listen.
She should have noted the red flags.
Fortunately, Brenda isn’t ultimately responsible for the trial’s ethics. Who’s going to care if she forges signatures? One or three teeny-weeny fibs don’t matter.
She should have called the police.
Bells ring when Brenda starts ‘forgetting’ things. Where did she leave her case notes, and why can’t she remember writing them? Then Brenda’s customers disappear, but it’s too late for regrets.
She should have run.
It’s a constant struggle to remember what truly matters. Brenda doesn’t mean to lie or cheat, not at the start. What begins as a second chance at adulting ends with a trail of body bags and a broken butterfly.
She shouldn’t have done it.
My Review
This book is my first introduction to this author. The concept of the book is what drew me to want to read it. The premise did draw me in, and it was good. Although, I do wish that it was scarier than it was.
This partially could have been in my opinion been helped if a bit more time had been spent on getting to know the victims that Brenda signed up into the FixMe program. It felt a little rushed, in that the participants started the program and then the next scene involving the consequences of the program was quick.
While I do wish that this book was scarier, I did like it. It was a fast read. I would try another book by this author.
