I like Maryrose Wood's writing, and I like her sense of the creepy. I love the gardens, the isolation, the ruins: all the details. The book was a little too paranormal for my taste, the heroine a little to acted upon, the whole thing a bit too much the set up for the series, rather than a fully deve...
3.5One line review: What a strange little mindfuck of a book...Not-one-line-review:**This review is going to be somewhat informed by the fact that I read the first two books in the series before writing either review, so I know what happens next and how it all fits together. Because of that, there ...
This was a very interesting story. At first I didn't think I was going to like it, but soon I couldn't put it down. Weed is a very interesting character and I can completely understand why Jessamine finds him so fascinating. It's a very quick read and full of unexpected twists. I am looking forward ...

There is one garden that it is forbidden for Jessamine to enter though - her father's poison garden where he keeps the dangerous plants he uses to make medicines. Tho...
In the beginning it was slow. At first I almost gave up in the book, then I hit chapter four, thats when things really started to get interesting. It certainly did pick up when Weed, started to do strange things. I was very intrigued from the start.Now, this book was written well, and the plot, dram...
I admit it all right? It was the cover that first reeled me in. And then I noticed the “Duchess of Northumberland” and grew more intrigued. Besides, the plot sounded intriguing. Now, the book, it seems, is the first of a series, and so I understand the reason it doesn’t seem complete but the thing i...
Plants can be categorized as helpful or deadly, it is in their nature, but what excuse for the nature of man? The Poison Diaries illustrates the dark side of humanity and the selfish, obsessive nature of man. Some of the characters in this novel are horrifically cruel and yet Jessamine is a young...
