Honeysuckle and Bone

A deliciously dark, enticingly exotic YA contemporary gothic ghost story where even paradise is haunted, from a brilliant debut author. Perfect for fans of She is a Haunting by Trang Thanh Tran and House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland.

The house has secrets of its own . . . After a tragedy rips her life apart, Carina Marshall is looking to reinvent herself in her mother’s homeland of Jamaica. With her new gig as the au pair for the wealthy and powerful Hall family at Blackbead House, Carina wants nothing more than to disappear into their world of mango trees, tropical breezes and glamorous parties. At first, Blackbead House seems like the perfect escape. Carina’s job is pretty easy, her boss is very welcoming and her new friends, especially the handsome and charismatic Aaron, help to ease the loneliness she’s felt for a long time. But new beginnings don’t come easy. Because Carina isn’t who she says she is, and Blackbead House already knows . . .​
