From Little Stack
When Mars’ twin, Caroline, dies under horrific circumstances, he decides he’ll do whatever it takes to figure out what really happened. That means going back to Aspen Conservatory Summer Academy, the one place he swore he’d never return.
The bucolic camp never charmed Mars. Not with their gender roles and toxic rigidity. But that’s where Caroline spent so much of her time, which means that’s where he’ll find answers. He seeks out her friends, a group of beautiful and terrifying girls known as the Honeys. Only, the longer Mars stays at the camp, the more questions he has. Worse, he’s pretty sure something is hunting him. And if he can’t escape, he just might end up dying just like his sister.
From Ryan La Sala, the wildly popular author of Reverie, comes a twisted and tantalizing horror novel set amidst the bucolic splendor of a secluded summer retreat.
Mars has always been the lesser twin, the shadow to his sister Caroline's radiance. But when Caroline dies under horrific circumstances, Mars is propelled to learn all he can about his once-inseparable sister who'd grown tragically distant.
Mars's genderfluidity means he's often excluded from the traditions -- and expectations -- of his politically-connected family. This includes attendance at the prestigious Aspen Conservancy Summer Academy where his sister poured so much of her time. But with his grief still fresh, he insists on attending in her place.
What Mars finds is a bucolic fairytale not meant for him. Folksy charm and sun-drenched festivities camouflage old-fashioned gender roles and a toxic preparatory rigor. 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.
