I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. 
 
As soon as I read the summary for The Honeys I knew I would love it. It’s a delightfully gruesome YA horror story featuring a non-binary main character, Mars. 
 
I adore how Ryan La Sala wrote Mars. They felt so real and solid; in fact I’d say all of La Sala’s characters were fantastically written. Because of that I found myself quickly drawn into the book and just could not put it down. As for the story, from the very first page it knocked me sideways, and left me questioning what was real and what was only happening in Mars’ head. There were also so many unexpected twists and turns in the plot that it kept me off-balance right to the very end. Just as well-written horror should.
