Beta Vulgaris

Average rating4.5
Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced look. This was something else. It’s 2014, Elise and Tom have come from Brooklyn to Minnesota to work the beet harvest. Two weeks of hell for a couple of months rent. Except: workers start to go missing, animals are sick, Elise develops a bruise on the side of her neck. Also, the beets may be speaking to her.
I couldn’t put this down. I swore off “is this horrible situation or is she just crazy” books but I never once doubted Elise. Not sure I loved the ending but I enjoyed the ride.
