I will always enjoy a story about a genius taking their work too far, I enjoyed the perspectives of Gregor and Simon; I think Medlock's writing and prose was really engaging and interesting. It does lose a point for the pacing, which to me felt a little bit inconsistent and seemed to jump around.

A Botanical Daughter was a perfect spooky spring novel. A mix of Frankenstein and The Ruins, with the character dynamic of Interview with the Vampire.

Beautiful and tragic, Jennifer and Chloe. Gregor and Simon, disturbed but loyal companions.
