Honey

by Imani Thompson · 2026

When Cambridge lecturer Yrsa finally snaps, she doesn’t set out to kill—she just wants a little sting. After a manipulative professor steals her friend’s research, she flicks a bee into his San Pellegrino, expecting a painful bite. The professor dies, and Yrsa, bored and restless, discovers a shocking thrill in the power she now wields. Imani Thompson’s debut, *Honey*, is a razor‑sharp, darkly comic plunge into ambition, control, and the intoxicating allure of danger. With a voice that’s both sexy and unpredictable, it follows Yrsa’s descent from accidental murderer to a woman who finally feels alive, delivering a fresh, addictive take on contemporary literary thrillers.
