Book Review of The Absence of Nectar

The Absence of Nectar
reviewed on + 62 more book reviews


If only Alice could get rid of her stepfather,then everything would be as sweet as it had been before Simon Jester wormed his way into her mothers heart. No one wants to believe that the pieces of Simons tragic past dont seem to fit or that he is trying to poison Alice and her older brother. The rantings of and eleven year old girl dont amount to much in East Texas utnil the one night her mother comes in to kiss her good night and instead whispers a single word "RUN".
