Synopsis

In DON'T EAT THE PIE, readers are transported to the hauntingly picturesque Camillia Island, where gothic horror meets family drama, unraveling the sinister secrets behind a mother and daughter's summer that promises to be as unsettling as it is compelling for fans of Shirley Jackson and Daphne du Maurier. Newlywed Sam has always wanted to be a part of a normal happy family. When her mother-in-law falls ill, Sam dutifully moves her family to Edenic Camillia Island to care for her. The island residents, namely the older women, welcome Sam and her daughter Emma with open arms, endless cocktails, and plenty of superstition. It seems perfect until it’s not. The house next to her mother-in-law’s is creepy—not only that, it’s where Ben’s first wife died. Sam’s teen daughter Emma isn’t interested in spending the summer in Camilia. It gets even worse when Emma starts to see things—knowing that there are ghosts trying to warn her of something, but what? Despite Emma’s pleas, Sam doesn’t want to rock the boat with her new family. Emma won’t pretend nothing is happening, especially as the messages become more grim and frequent. What secrets are buried on Camilia Island? And why are all the residents keen on keeping them quiet? Content Warnings: this book contains mentions and/or descriptions of abuse/domestic violence, suicide, unauthorized medical procedures, pregnancy complications, and a car accident.

Goodreads review by Mallory on September 24, 2024

This is a gothic horror books that was definitely creepy. I listened to the audiobook and loved the narration. This book was a lot like horror movies where you want to scream at the protagonist to stop making ridiculous choices and ignoring all of the red flag things around her. I found the very end......more

Goodreads review by Horror on March 14, 2024

This is a gothic horror story that reminds me of Rosemary's Baby with the creepy happenings, strange people, and a woman becoming pregnant after a "party" gets bizarre. It's set on an island that appears idyllic at first. Colorful flowers everywhere, friendly people, and beautiful homes. But it's al......more

Goodreads review by Books_the_Magical_Fruit (Kerry) on March 26, 2024

This is super creepy. Something’s not quite right on Camillia Island. Why does everyone want to keep Sam on the island? Why is the pharmacist unwilling to prescribe normal medications? Why won’t Sam’s mother-in-law go AWAY??! In the meantime, Sam’s teenage daughter Emma is doing some sleuthing, since......more
