Honey

Honey by Imani Thompson Pre-Order May 5th 2026

Bold, razor-sharp, and darkly hilarious, Honey by Imani Thompson is a fearless debut novel about rage, revenge, and radical feminism taken to its bloodiest extreme.

Yrsa, a disillusioned grad student bored by her PhD, her research on Afropessimism, and the mediocre men around her, finds a shocking new sense of purpose after witnessing a sexist professor’s sudden death. The “accident” awakens something dangerous—and exhilarating—within her. Soon, she’s targeting every predatory man who crosses her path, convinced her actions are an act of justice in the name of women everywhere.

But as Yrsa’s crusade grows more violent, the line between righteous anger and moral corruption blurs. When long-buried family secrets resurface, she must confront the possibility that her killing spree isn’t empowerment—it’s self-destruction.

Wickedly funny, provocative, and impossible to put down, Honey is a genre-bending feminist thriller that blends academic satire with psychological suspense—perfect for fans of My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Bunny, and You.
