À propos de ce contenu audio

 A native Hawaiian teen travels to a luxury island resort in search of her missing twin and uncovers the dark side of paradise, in this YA supernatural thriller that's Mexican Gothic meets She is a Haunting.

"This astounding book is both a finger pointed directly at the rotting heart of colonial greed and a truly heart-pounding mystery." — Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of Compound Fracture

For the world’s wealthiest, Kōpaʻa Island Resort is more than a destination. It’s the ultimate escape. With no cell service or Wi-Fi, the Hawaiian island is a coveted wellness retreat renowned for its persimmon orchard and promises of rejuvenation.

But their dream vacation is Lehua’s nightmare. When her twin sister, Ohia, goes missing, Lehua follows her trail to Kōpaʻa to find her. Instead, Lehua is cut off from civilization—and help—after the island’s boat leaves without her, stranding her with the resort’s lavish guests and enigmatic staff.

As Lehua investigates Ohia’s disappearance, she discovers her missing sister isn’t the island’s only mystery. Kōpaʻa’s rich exterior and sweet persimmons hide its dark plantation past. And Lehua can’t ignore the dreams haunting her each night—nor the warning telling her to leave the island at once. To uncover what happened to Ohia, Lehua will have to unearth the island’s bloody history and face the horrors that lurk within its sugarcane fields—or risk being consumed by them.

Sharply observed and gorgeously written, That Which Feeds Us explores the true cost of paradise as Lehua must fight to reclaim the land, the stories, and the very souls of her people. LGBT Policier, thrillers et œuvres à suspense Roman et littérature Thrillers et œuvres à suspense

    “With incisive prose that brings the plantation-turned-luxury-resort of Kōpa`a alive in all its excess and fruit-spoil, Kendall offers a striking Hawaiian gothic that is as terrifying as it is emotionally resonant. A deeply intimate tale of belonging, sisterhood and intergenerational trauma bookended by larger inquiries of colonialism exploitation—That Which Feeds Us bites with real teeth and is sure to leave its mark.” —Jihyun Yun, author of And the River Drags Her Down

    “Set on a haunted planation, That Which Feeds Us is a fierce debut with vivid prose, where the lasting effect of colonialism almost suffocates you. The dreamy landscape and rich characters are lovingly rendered, and Kendall digs to the rotten core, making this the very best of YA horror. A must read.” —Jamison Shea, author of Roar of the Lambs

    "This book hurt my heart in the best way possible. And it had one of my favorite micro-tropes (old money white assholes getting their comeuppance). The setting is so wonderfully set that you can almost taste the rot on your tongue. Just phenomenal." —Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author

    "Kendall effectively leverages colonialism’s horrors and its effects on Hawaii’s history to maximize tension and terror." —Publishers Weekly

    "[A] richly atmospheric supernatural horror that explores diaspora experiences, the ongoing impact of colonization, and the sisters’ complex, dynamic relationship. Vivid and potent." —Kirkus Reviews
