Bunny by Mona Awad

Mona Awad, the author

Do you like thrillers, romance, drama and mystery?
Bunny, a national bestseller, by Mona Awad has it all as it engulfs you into a world of dark and intriguing suspense. Samantha Heather Mackey, a college grad student, is left to fend for herself in an eerie town of rumored disappearances and crime. “The Bunnies,” a tight-click of preppy grad students, extend the invitation to her, in turn leaving Samantha confused as to what their real intentions are. With no mother or father figure to be that support for her, Samantha finds herself entangled in the darkness that soon finds her. Will she be able to see her way out? How bad could the bunnies really be?

​Bunny, full of dark magic, cult mysteries, love tropes and lasting friendship secrets.
This novel hooked me from the very beginning! Mona Awad’s incredible imagery and character building grabbed my attention and left me wanting more.
I love finding novels that make my brain feel like it can take a break from reality. It’s easy to get sucked into this magically thrilling and creative world!
