What if the goddess everyone has been waiting for turns out to be a broke salon owner with forty-three dollars and a rose quartz habit? In Honey Goddess, Abiola Abrams introduces Lola Callendar, a Caribbean-American hair stylist in Amaniville, New York, who pulls a name from a set of African goddess oracle cards with her best friends and finds that Oshun, the Orisha of love, beauty, and abundance, has chosen her back. Suddenly bees follow her, honey seems to answer her call, and a brooding New Orleans Creole billionaire can't stop staring, even though the feeling is very much mutual and very much hostile. Add a circle of ride-or-die sisters, a conjure woman mentor, and a dangerous group of energy vampires closing in, and Lola has to remember who she really is. This is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy of ancestral magic, divine feminine power, and the courage to claim your own happy ending.

💖 Why You'll Love It
This story takes the things we love most in romantasy, the slow burn, the secrets, the chosen-one twist, and roots them in African diaspora spirituality, sisterhood, and women claiming their power. Lola is funny, flawed, and deeply relatable, and watching her step into her magic is its own kind of ritual. If you've ever felt like your happy ending was running late, this one is for you.
