“Freedom doesn’t come with age. It doesn’t magically appear when you’re a legal adult. It comes when you stand up for something you believe in.” – Ryke Meadows
There’s a puffy, bloodshot-eyed zombie roaming around our house, thrashing, crying and screaming She is nowhere near okay. She’s a new breed created by the epidemic Hothouse Flower.
I’ve been waiting for this book since forever. I went in expecting something fluffy and a little bit of crying, but I was sordidly mistaken. It went on so much deeper than that.
Hothouse Flower is told from alternating points of view of Ryke and Daisy. They both stole my heart in Ricochet. I shipped them from the very start. Unapologetically. No fucks given. They are going to melt your heart and make

Yes. I’m talking about Hothouse Flower and the Addicted Series. Krista and Becca never fail to remind me why I read books and why they are one of my favorite authors. It’s extremely difficult for me to articulate my feelings and put them into words. All I can manage to say is that it hit me harder than I thought it would. Hothouse Flower is raw and painful. It left me with undeniable ache.
Every single thing and element about this story is fully fleshed out and it’s something I always highly praise. The characters are drawn brilliantly. They’re deep, complex and real. They are one of the most beautiful sets of characters I’ve ever encountered.

Reading Krista and Becca’s books once is simply not enough. You’ll go back to it every day and if not, every once in a while, just like home. After all of the heart-break I went through with Hothouse Flower, I couldn’t be anymore happy how it all turns out. This is easily one of the best and most heart wrenching book I’ve ever read to
