When Lehua lands at the exclusive Kōpaʻa Island Resort, she expects a luxurious escape—but the island’s pristine veneer quickly crumbles. Her twin sister Ohia vanishes without a trace, and Lehua’s frantic search lands her in a place where the dead don’t stay asleep and the past refuses to stay buried. Cut off from the outside world, she must navigate a glittering crowd of wealthy guests and enigmatic staff while uncovering the resort’s sinister history of colonial greed and a haunted plantation that feeds on its own secrets. A haunting Hawaiian gothic thriller, That Which Feeds Us blends supernatural suspense with a fierce, emotional quest for truth, pulling readers into a nightmarish paradise where every sweet persimmon hides a darker bite.
