In an abandoned school, a group of chronically ill teens known as "the Hive" escapes their sterile hospital rooms and finds refuge in the echoes of their shared struggles. This hidden haven, filled with laughter and whispered secrets, becomes a sanctuary where they can be themselves, away from judgment and the relentless gaze of the outside world.
But when members of the Hive start to die under mysterious circumstances, the refuge they created begins to feel more like a trap. Each loss sends shockwaves through the group, breeding suspicion and fear. What was once a place of healing now casts a dark shadow over their friendships, as unsettling questions hang in the air: Who is behind these deaths?
Desperate to uncover the truth, the remaining Hive members band together. As they dig deeper, they realize that the enemy might be closer than they ever imagined. Friendships unravel, and secrets come to light, revealing hidden motives and unspoken resentments. In a world where vulnerability can be both a strength and a weapon, betrayal lurks in unexpected places.
In Shadows of the Hive, the teens must confront not only the threat of an unseen killer but also the possibility that their closest allies may be harboring lethal secrets. With time running out and tensions rising, they must decide whom to trust, or risk losing everything-including their lives.
As each revelation unravels the fabric of their tight-knit group, they are forced to confront a heartbreaking truth: even in a circle of support, isolation can come from within. Will they find the strength to face the darkness together, or will the shadows consume them all?
Lily Morgan has never truly belonged. After surviving the fire that killed her parents as a baby, she was taken in by relatives who never wanted her-an obligation, not a child. For seventeen years, she's lived in a house that feels more like a prison, haunted by a past she can't remember and a future she isn't sure she wants.
But when her senior class plans a week-long trip to Hollow Pines, something inside her whispers that this isn't just a getaway. It's a warning.
Because Hollow Pines isn't just any camp. People have gone missing there before. And when Lily vanishes on the third night, her friends are left scrambling for answers-only to uncover secrets that should have stayed buried.
Somebody wanted Lily dead the night her parents burned.
And this time, they won't fail.
A haunting mystery filled with secrets, betrayals, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and One of Us is Lying.
