Killing the Butterfly: A Thriller So Abusive, It's Criminal | Dale Ward

2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read

Nineteen-year-old Patty has a lot of baggage. Abusive parents. A horrible boyfriend. The stifling cocoon of her Podunk town. She longs to become a travel writer - visiting exotic lands far, far away...But escaping town the way she does, forced by her boyfriend Roy to join him on a violent crime spree across middle America was not the travel of Patty's dreams. It's a journey that will only land her in jail - or dead. But escaping Roy is out of the question. He'd hunt her down, find her, and surely beat her worse than he's ever beaten her before.When they stumble across the gentleman alone at the cabin by the lake, he offers Patty a glimmer of hope and freedom. But this man hides evil secrets of his own...

Killing the Butterfly: A Thriller So Abusive, It's Criminal | Dale Ward

so-so

I thought this was a good story, but be warned that it is quite violent. It is frustrating to “watch” Patty not even try to get away from her abuser, but from what I hear that‘s not completely inaccurate. At first I couldn‘t figure out where William and Maggie fit into the story, but I figured it would eventually make sense, and it did.

If you love, dark, brutal books you may like this one. I read it in one sitting as I didn‘t want to prolong it (and now I need a palate-cleanser for sure)! Two couples “meet” under unusual (and deadly) circumstances and things go haywire from then on! Maybe don‘t attempt to read in the dark of night!😱
