I picked this up on a whim on Libby and had a slow start getting into it but it was well worth the time and I'm going to be thinking about it for a long time - the emotions were evocative, the prose was wonderful and descriptive. The only problem I had was that being an eBook meant I couldn't easily flip back to gawk at all the foreshadowing every time the plot twisted (and the fact I wanted to is clearly a pro rather than a con). Even the more baffling twists felt earned once you parse what's happening which is a big thumbs up in a world of unfollowable twists for the sake of twisting. I loved this book.

A wonderful book. At times I felt myself struggling to stay engaged. But I really enjoyed the ending. It had enough horror elements to be considered a horror book. But it was more scary/creepy I felt. And I was really happy that gender had nothing to do with the horror elements. I do hope to place this on my "to read again" pile and hopefully I'll catch more the next time.

The Honeys is a beautifully horrifying mystery. Every time I thought I had it figured out it went a different way. I loved the writing, the characters, the premise, and the audio I was one of the best I’ve ever listened too. Very unique!
