Keeper of the Bees by Meg Kassel Genre: YA Paranormal Release Date: September 4th 2018 Entangled Teen Summary: “ Beauty and the beast like you’ve never imagined! ” — New York Times bestselling author Pintip Dunn KEEPER OF THE BEES is a tale of two teens who are both beautiful and beastly, and whose pasts are entangled in surprising and heartbreaking ways. Dresden is cursed. His chest houses a hive of bees that he can’t stop from stinging people with psychosis-inducing venom. His face is a shifting montage of all the people who have died because of those stings.

But Essie does...

Read below for an excerpt from the book:
I always thought cults were for crazies. Until I joined one. Let me clear up any misconceptions. I’m not crazy. A freak, but not crazy. Which is why I’m here. Freaks R Us. A boarding school for the intellectually gifted tucked away in the back streets of Wolfebane, New Hampshire. Intellectually gifted? Yeah, right. We have a pristine lake surrounded by majestic mountains. We have lush green fields that turn into fabulous groomed ski trails in the winter. We have upscale restaurants and thriving businesses and fancy homes—city pizzazz with small town coziness. We even have our very own homegrown C.U.L.T. The Clique of Unique Luminary Telepathies. When the average person searches this place on the Internet, the home page reads Co-Ed for Unified Learning and Teaching, a New Age school for the hippest of the hip. It appears to be a rambling English manor, sandstone and massive latticed windows and French doors, surrounded by a cottage garden gone wild. All very civilized for a place of learning, but what I’d learn would scare the crap out of me. “Going in sometime this century?” I glared at Colt, sitting smug in his beat-up Chevy, eager to get rid of me. I’d been thrust on his family, Nan’s only neighbors, when she got carted off to the hospital. I hated staying with his uptight family as much as they hated having me. “Nah, think I’ll hang with you a bit longer. It’s so much fun.” He pointed at the door. “Get out.” I didn’t budge. Colt didn’t scare me. C.U.L.T. did. “I had no choice staying with your folks. What’s your excuse?” His expression turned stubborn. “How old are you anyway? Nineteen? Twenty, tops?” “Twenty-one,” he gritted out. “Too old to be babysitting dorks like you.” “Dork? That’s mature for a guy tied so tight to mommy’s apron strings he’s still living at home.” His hands clenched on the steering wheel and I jiggled the door handle. The door opened on the third try. “If you were this smart-assed with your Nan I’m not surprised she had a stroke.” Low blow. That’s what it felt like, like he’d kicked me in the guts. His words inspired the same nauseating feeling I’d had when I’d told her what I’d seen. When she’d uttered five mysterious words—she took the wrong one—and keeled over. “And she’s in a long-term coma?” He drove the boot in harder. “She’d probably do anything to stay away from you.” I grabbed my backpack, slung my messenger bag over my shoulder, and slammed the door. I couldn’t get away from him fast enough. It wasn’t what he’d said as much as the possible truth behind it. He leaned across the bench seat and leered out the window. “Enjoy the lock-up. It’s a perfect place for psychos. You’ll fit right in.” “Screw you.” Colt gave me the finger, gunned the engine, and squealed away from the curb, leaving me standing in front of my prison. Wolfebane High had sucked, but boarding school? Fine for my favorite fictional characters who thrived on girl power. Me? I wasn’t the kickass heroine so much.

News! OUP edition

Februrary already... What have I done with my life in the start of January? Not much...oops. I did some things though. Friday-that was good. The wonderful Charlie invited me to the OUP night called Storm Your Imagination. It was for Joss Stirling' s Storm and Stone and Nikki Sheehan 's Who Framed Klaris Cliff. It was held at the 1901 Arts Club, which is an amazing venue-small, cosy, and just the right size for us all.  Also warm-a big plus when it's tipping it down. We had talks from both Joss, about detectives and Nikki, about imaginary friends. Both made their books, well the research behind them, seem fascinating and I'm looking forwards to reading both of those things. OUP provided Siege and Storm, and Who Framed Klaris Cliff. They also gave us The Private Blog of Joe Cowley by Ben Davis, which looks quite funny, and Replica by Jack Heath, which I was looking forwards to reading before and didn't know it had been picked up in the UK.  We also got a notebook and...

Theatre Review: This Much by John Fitzpatrick, performed by Moving Dust

I am aware that my timeliness is terrible. I saw this show eight months ago, I wrote this review eight months ago, I found it again tonight.   I saw it at Edinburgh, and it's now playing at Soho Theatre as part of the Pride festival.  Title: This Much (or A Act of Violence Towards The Institution of Marriage) Writer: John Fitzpatrick Director: Kate Sagovsky Performed by: Moving Dust Cast:  Lewis Hart, Simon Carroll-Jones, and James Parris Seen at: Zoo City Review: Gar is in a long term relationship with Antony, and they're thinking about marriage , but meets Albert on an app. This leads to a romantic drama exploring the meaning and importance of marriage. I saw this in the programme. I loved the title and the picture and thought maybe if I have time. I then saw this being promoted on the Royal Mile- three men in wedding dresses standing on plinths- and thought, yes, I have to see this. I didn't really know about the play though. The drama progresses well. Something's...
