The Bee King - Pretty Bookshelf

Power is Sweet.

When the crops fail, the monsters come.

When the monsters come, they buy the daughters.

Alice would do anything to keep her sister and cousin out of the hands of the monsters. She would even accept a marriage proposal from the Bee King, the mysterious honey magnate allegedly driving the prosperity of the empire.

But when she arrives at the Apiary, the secluded estate of her betrothed, nothing is as it seems. The empire’s wealthy and famous are converging upon the estate and she soon learns that the Bee King is not marrying her for love or lust, but third reason–a dark, strange, and deadly reason.

I WANT THIS

★★★★★
Highly visceral, gorgeous feminine rage. I wept.

Zeller seamlessly weaves Jazz age intrigue and body horror together, with a very damaged, but determined main character you cannot help but cheer for. By the time I finished reading this, I was deeply unsettled… for all the right reasons. Who is friend and who is foe? Who is predator and who is prey? The Bee King will live rent free in the heads of everyone who reads this for a very long time.

I hope that I can completely express how much I truly enjoyed this book. I love un-apologetically strong women characters. I love twists that completely blind side me and it is very hard to find books or media that actually manage to do that, The Bee King was able to do that for me. The last 40% of this book is absolutely a page turner, I could not stop. The Bee King has such a unique concept and is so refreshing to read.
