Description
Netflix’s Griselda meets Marvel’s Black Widow in this dark tale where a woman has to leave her peaceful life and return to her duties for an international crime family.
She escaped her family once. Can she do it again?
As kids, Lily and her sisters were adopted by Nan, their godmother and matriarch of a notorious international crime family.
Under Nan’s watch, Lily became a monster, forced to torture, maim, and murder – in part due to the conscience-ridding drugs given to her by Nan but also because of years of grooming and education in the art of assassination.
Though her sisters and Nan were her world, she loved and hated them in equal measure. Eventually, resentment and guilt won, and she escaped her horrific role.
Seven years later, Lily is thriving. She’s sober, has a beautiful family, and has movedon from the past … or so she thinks.
But when bouquets start showing up at her house, she knows the seemingly innocent flowers have a darker meaning: her past is catching up to her.
She can run, but she can’t hide forever.

I had the most amazing time reading this. The story was gripping from the very first page. The characters felt very real in that they were all flawed but I couldn't help but feel connected to them and want to root for them. I love how well we got to know the side characters as well, No one was wasted or felt like an empty shell. The book was a bit short but the pacing was great. I felt that I got the answers I needed without anything feeling rushed. The action was consistent and kept me on edge the entire time. I can't wait for the chance to read more from this author.

Three girls. One ruthless godmother (Nan). And a lifetime of debts to collect.
Nan is the kind of woman you don’t want to owe anything to. Her “Flowers” are three highly skilled assassins, each with their own specialty, sent into the world to handle whatever business needs handling. But when Lily (one of Nan’s Flower) escapes and builds a life away from her, Nan eventually finds her and summons her back for one final mission.
What I loved most about this book was Lily’s psychological journey. Being forced back into the place that broke her down and shaped her into the person she became brought so much tension to the story. We get to uncover her past, understand how she became a Flower, and watch her navigate the mental and emotional warfare of being back in a world she desperately wanted to leave behind.
I was locked in from beginning to end. Even though the beginning is very much laying the foundation, I never felt bored or disconnected from the story. And that last 20%?! whew, chile. The action, the anxiety, the uncertainty!! I was genuinely nervous to keep turning the pages because I had no idea how everything was going to play out.
A psychological thriller with badass women, assassins, secrets, and enough tension to keep you turning the pages. ATE
