it was amazing

The first page hooked me and didn’t let go until after the story was finished… and even then…

Nina desperately flees domestic violence with her young child and ends up at the mercy of a strange elderly woman living alone in her apple orchard, who is unusually obsessed with her honeybees. Nina is not there long before unusual things happen…

It is a haunting tale of a mother’s love and the lengths she’s willing to go to keep him safe.

I have a great love for stories that are dark, eerie and beautiful all at the same time. The prose was poetic with gorgeous imagery that lifted the words right out of the book and pulled me inside to experience a special kind of horror, camaraderie, and love through Nina’s eyes. I have read many supernatural stories, but this one is unique in how it incorporates honeybee lore! It is a must read for those who love ghost stories!

It packs quite the sting!
