3/5
Wow I was not expecting this at all. The story was so intriguing and I couldn't put it down, it helped that it was a short story. I loved this concept and think it was executed so well.

My only complaint is I wish it was a bit longer I wish I just had more of the story. But totally understand that the mystic around it is how much is given. If this author ever came out with a collection of short stories I would definitely pick it up so quickly.

Would recommend this to anyone who wants a bit of horror without the traditional blood and gore. I was thoroughly entertained and am glad that someone took such a fresh look at what is scary about our world.

I was drawn to this book by the cover. Once I started reading, I could not stop. I was intrigued by the storyline. It was not what I was expecting in a good way. The horror aspect of this story is one that slowly creeps up on you.

Instantly, I felt an emotional connection towards Rosemary and her husband. You could feel the love he had for his wife in the way that he cared for her. He did so without complaint.

The mystery that is the garden is one of amazement and horror. Still undecided on if I would want a garden like this or not. All I can say is that I did not see the ending coming. I do want to check out more books by this author.

This was my first horror read and I enjoyed it up until I got to the end; a bit sad. Surely, the devil shows no mercy.
I’m curious about Rosemary and Thomas’ past lives and their child, Anna.
I would have loved for the story to be longer; it was a nice read anyway👍
P.S. The cover is attractive.

A quick enjoyable read, with good pacing and imagery.

Although the story feels familiar to me, and I would like more backstory on what happened to Anna, it was enjoyable with a satisfying ending.

I absolutely loved this story. The prose was gorgeous and it felt like I was living and breathing every moment described. The story was short, under 100 pages but suffered no pacing issues. My only need is for more backstory with what exactly happened with Anna in the past. That missing info would make this a full 5 stars for me.

Thank you netgalley for this short story. I really loved the cover so i wanted to read this one. Definitely a quickread and i really enjoyed it. It had great weird elements to it and good main characters and im always a sucker for stories that have to do with floral/garden in fantasy elements its always been want of my favorites. I do wish this story was a little longer just because the concept was really great. Very detailed as well and good writing.

Overall this was a well written horror/fantasy short story. The author manages to conveys both characters of grief extremely well in a short period. The chapter images really made the garden miracles more life like and realistic for the reader. Would definitely read more of these authors works. :)
