The Honeys

Ryan La Sala

A twisted and tantalizing horror novel set amidst the splendour

of a secluded summer retreat.

When Mars Matthias loses his sister Caroline under horrific circumstances,

it propels him to learn all he can about the once-inseparable

sibling who’d grown tragically distant.

Mars’s gender-fluidity means he’s often excluded from the traditions

  • and expectations - of his politically-connected family,

including attendance at the prestigious Aspen Conservancy Summer

Academy where his sister devoted so much of her time. But with his

grief still fresh, he insists on attending in her place.

The setting may be pristine and sun-drenched, but there’s an undercurrent

of tension buzzing ominously. Mars seeks out his sister’s

old friends: a group of girls dubbed the Honeys, named for the

beehives they maintain behind their cabin. They are beautiful

and terrifying - and Mars is certain they’re connected to Caroline’s

death. But the longer he stays at Aspen, the more the sweet mountain

breezes give way to hints of decay. Mars’s memories begin

to falter, bleached beneath the relentless summer sun. Something

is hunting him in broad daylight, toying with his mind. If Mars

can’t find it soon, it will eat him alive…

Heathers meets Midsommar, exploring the corruption

that lies just under the surface of the perfect lives of

the uber-rich

Perfect for fans of Kathryn Foxfield and Ace of Spades

Highly original, brilliantly written, queer YA horror
