Description:
When Lorabeth decided to fall in love, she knew it wasn't going to be easy. Unlike the bees that she trained, boys were strange, unpredictable creatures. Since the most popular girl in school, Hedda, receives love letters on a weekly basis, Lorabeth thought that taking a peek at those letters would help... or perhaps not. Lorabeth and Hedda are united by a strange deadly fire and a swarm of encroaching predators that seem to threaten the school of apiology. Will Lorabeth be able to find true love and save her school from these mysterious enemies? And what does a coat rack, yellow ribbon, hypnotist, and tapioca have to do with it?

Caith Sweeney is so cool! I love how you describe him as having "wintry eyes and a Cheshire smile." If I were in Lorabeth's shoes, I'd be happy to share my bees with him, haha. But I can see why she's a little nonplussed by him. All the mystery surrounding his character is a nice touch.
I can't wait to see what happens when he meets Hedda and Petro!

Ahh yes. Caith is very much alive, I think. He's so real, somehow. You obviously have a way with words (I'm not sure you've ever written a sentence that wasn't enchanting) but it's as if he's a real person, just like the other characters in this book! I don't know how you do it.
I really love how aware of herself Lorabeth is- she's not like, "why do I think this? why do I act such and such way?" I don't know if I'm making sense, but I love that she's on top of herself, and on her guard. But not immune to Caith's charms. And have I mentioned how much I love that name? And every name in this book?
Also, your background characters are so lovely and colorful- Rosalind and Moira are the perfect, odd, unique roommates. And the random characters like Atticus are wonderful as well. I'm eagerly awaiting more, and ever so grateful for this update. ;)

I just am so delighted with this story in every way – the characters – the mystery – the magical world you have created – and your AMAZING writing and imagery – AH ***sigh***
Pg 22 - Atticus’s usual cafeteria company was usually – drop one of those “usual” references.
Lorabeth’s mouth wobbled into a tiny smile – brilliant!
Please keep writing – this is wonderful.

Pg 19 : Lorabeth ducked (w)hen the carrier door swung open – Silly Nemesis – didn’t pick that up – the battle field narrows even more. Nemesis: 194,567, Me: now 223. HA!!!
Pg 20 Allergic to boys – priceless!
Kim, thanks for the great read – and I will await diligently until after you meet your deadlines – go kill ‘em (pun intended) – for some more great B&B updates
