More like 1.5 stars, but my gosh, this book was sloppy. So many different and unrelated elements to the story, a grievous misunderstanding of the difference between show and tell, and several characters built solely on tropes or basic wish fulfillment. And the gender bending stuff was completely unn...

I am not into fantasy and magic and that kind of genre but Poison Study left a sweet taste in me. I didn’t know it would have magic so I was about to abandon it when I found out.I’m glad I didn’t though.

Granted, I did like the male lead, and I u...

I know others who loved the book to pieces. My thoughts? Meh... I liked it, I suppose. A 3.5, I'd say. I'm sure I won't continue the series, and I don't have too much to say. I'll leave you with a few bullet points to stand as my review:Things I liked (I like to start with the positive.)♦ The slow p...

Title and Statement of Responsibility
A little romance, a little fantasy, a little dealing with issues like violence and abuse . . . actually a fun little book.

Review in 75 Words or Less: Poison Study is beautiful in its simplicity. The world... the characters... the plot... all of it ties together to compliment each other in a way that is ingenious. Yelena is the type of character that only comes around every so often. Brave, smart, courageous... there ar...
