This lacked a certain something. Some of Kyra's choices just made no sense to me. I was not overly enthused by the contemporary voice. Still, it is a fluffy, easy-going read. The romance was light and it was nice to see Ariana and Kyra's friendship. The pig was cute.
Poison was such great fun to read! It's a light fantasy that doesn't take itself too seriously and that's why it works. If this were a movie it would be categorized as a dramedy. In tone it reminded me a bit of Brightly Woven, another light fantasy that didn't take itself too seriously. I would have...

All too often YA books are strewn with heavy topics that aren’t suitable for teenagers. It was refreshing to read about a strong young woman who...
I was so excited about Poison I couldn't let it languish in my TBR pile. With only a few days passing from it's library pickup to finished it's set a land speed record! It was worth it. Poison was right up my ally with humor and a more traditional fantasy setting. I adored the characters and could a...
*Genre* Young Adult*Rating* 4.0*My Thoughts*In a way, this is a painful review for me to write knowing that the author has since passed on, and there won't be any more sequels unless the family somehow manages to do the impossible and finds another author to recreate the same wonderful world and cha...
