Loved this book! It is definitely different than you think it will be. I loved the huge twist that made up the end. Great story with amazing characters that spring to life.

An outstanding book! The author is a master at creating fully realized characters who leap off the page as real people. Kira is the most interesting of those characters, an extraordinarily manipulative, status-obsessed PTA mom whose love for her child leads to questionable decisions. Think Cersei from Games of Thrones if she were married to a dentist and sought elite college admission for her children rather than control of the Iron Throne.

The plot twists and turns to unexpected places. Without getting into any spoilers, it kept me guessing right up until the end, while never seeming forced or contrived. The author is also a lawyer, and her portrayal of the legal process seems authentic.

Holy Cow what a book! This twisty, amazing horrifying book had me wanting more and never wanting this book to end! Amazing guys!
The twist and turns are so.unexpected and so brilliantly done this author has done an out summon here with this masterpiece!
I was hanging onto every word. And this book had me hanging on the edge of my seat the entire read!

Thank you so much NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for this amazing ebook!.

Wright's writing leaps off the page. The story is dark yet immersive, and I hope to see more books by her in the near future! I will be updating this with a more detailed review on my blog in the buildup to its release on May 16 and June 1.

Oh, wow. An absolutely fantastic read. Wright gives us deliciously layered main characters, plenty of twists and turns, and an inability to sleep until you get to the end. :-) I'm so glad I got an ARC of this book, and can't wait to see what Wright comes up with next.

One potential issue for some readers will be the dual point of view. The book’s chapters alternate between the perspective of Kira, the accused, and Allison, her lawyer. This style may not work for every reader. However, it is well-executed in the Darkest Flower and, in my opinion, enhances the character development. I don’t always like dual point of view, but it worked for me in this book.

I had trouble putting the book down from the very first page, so I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a page-turner!
