my thoughts:
HOLY, mean mother-in-law. You think you have issues?!

Okay, good read. Now this before you read. It's going to take you to another place. Not another world, not vampire, werewolf battle. Just... not here. I can't tell you how nice it was to ecsape in this book. Yeah, I think that's a great way of describing this one. It's an escape book, take a moment to wash away what you think and step into this book.

Meridia, has to be the most amazing person EVER.Talk about back bone, grace and ... don't give a trash what others think.

I also have to clarify my rank on this book. I go back and forth on giving it three or four. I liked it, I did. It was a good read to escape from the here and now to read this book. Here's the thing. When I started to read this book... I wasn't buying the whole bees and mist and woooo thing. The more I read, the more it was... accepted the more I was just like yeah that's just how it is. 

the run down:
Of Bees and Mist is an engrossing fable that chronicles three generations of women under one family tree and places them in a mythical town where spirits and spells, witchcraft and demons, and prophets and clairvoyance are an everyday reality.

Meridia grows up in a lonely home until she falls in love with Daniel at age sixteen. Soon, they marry, and Meridia can finally escape to live with her charming husband’s family—unaware that they harbor dark mysteries of their own. As Meridia struggles to embrace her life as a young bride, she discovers long-kept secrets about her own past as well as shocking truths about her new family that push her love, courage, and sanity to the brink.

Erick Setiawan’s astonishing debut is a richly atmospheric and tumultuous ride of hope and heartbreak that is altogether touching, truthful, and memorable.
