Sins of the Bees by Annie LampmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Full Disclosure: I received an audiobook copy of Sins of the Bees by Annie Lampman (narrated by Cassandra Campbell) from Dreamscape Media via NetGalley in exchange for possibly writing a review.
Let me start by saying that this would probably be a five star review had I read the book instead of listening to it. There were parts I really wanted to savor but couldn't because of the format. There were also parts that made me really, really sad, and I couldn't skip over them because of the format. Maybe that's a good thing for me to confront, but it was also sort of excruciating. If you like audiobooks, don't let my issues deter you. Check this out!
What I really loved about this book was all the bee stuff. There are very few fiction books that really delve into bees with the kind of detail you find here. If you love bees like I do, you will want to give this a read. But it is not just bees, there's a cult! If you need more than bees and a cult, this book is beautifully written, and the author clearly has a strong connection to nature.
Bonus points for so much love for animals. I have a soft spot for characters who love animals nearly as much as I do.
