New Beginnings Don't Always Come Easy...
Join us for the launch for the luscious YA launch of Honeysuckle and Bone by TRISHA TOBIAS! In this spooky and atmospheric young adult novel, we meet Carina, a teen girl on the run from her own dark secrets. After she becomes the nanny for a prestigious family on their Jamaican estate, she quickly discovers even paradise may be haunted. TRISHA TOBIAS will be in conversation with AYESHA CURRY.
In Honeysuckle and Bone, Carina Marshall is looking to reinvent herself, and what better place to do it than Jamaica, her mother’s alluring homeland where she conveniently has access to an au pair gig for the wealthy and powerful Hall family. After months of being the target of vicious rumors and hate online, Carina might have found everything she wants at the luxurious Blackbead House: a world of mango trees, tropical breezes, and glamorous parties — and a place to disappear.
Once there, Carina finds herself settling right into her busy, but comfortable, new life. Yes, the family runs a tight ship, and yes, there is some tension between the Halls, but Carina is content flying under the radar and hanging out with her new friends — not least, the handsome and charming Aaron. But when inexplicable things start happening to her in the house, only getting worse each night, Carina realizes that someone, or something, is out to get her. Is it the Halls? The house itself? Or is her own past catching up with her? With Aaron’s help, she must figure out what is haunting her, and fast, before she’s forced out of Blackbead House for good.
