I am still struggling to find words, the ending made me so MAD. This book was like an episode of Black Mirror of strangely enough, like the movie ‘Ready or Not’ which I watched last night.
Honeycomb is a unique premise, 6 strangers enter an experiment, living in one house and required to take a daily pill, 5 of them are taking placebos and only one is taking an actual dose- they’ve been guaranteed no adverse side effects but that is of course, a lie.
Some scenes went so far that it crossed into disturbing and I had to read it again to make sure I read it right originally. The reason for the 3 stars is that it was intense and intriguing the whole way through until that ending, it left a lot to be desired and I am so disappointed.
Thank you, NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for my review.
