In the backwoods of rural Georgia, where the air hums with cicadas and secrets, Loretta Mae Hollis tends to her hogs and her sins. Widowed young and hardened by betrayal, she lives alone on her family's crumbling farm-except for the men she invites in and the hogs that make sure they never leave.
Loretta believes she's doing justice in her own way-righting wrongs done by cruel, faithless men. She seduces them with soft words and Southern charm, luring them from dating apps to her table, where the meal is their last. Each kill is marked by a pink flower she tucks into her hair and another secret buried on the back acreage beneath the red clay soil.
When Carrie Fields, a determined young journalist, begins investigating a string of missing men, her search leads her straight to Red Clay-and to Loretta's front porch. What starts as a professional pursuit turns personal as Carrie becomes fascinated by the quiet, magnetic farmer with the haunting smile. But fascination turns to fear when she realizes that some stories are hungrier than the truth itself.
As storms gather over the farm and the creek begins to rise, two women-each scarred by her own ghosts-find themselves trapped in a reckoning of blood, love, and survival. In the end, everyone gets fed.
Dark, atmospheric, and unforgettable, Feeding Grounds is a Southern Gothic thriller that blurs the line between vengeance and justice, obsession and desire, life and the land that swallows it whole.
