Kat knew we needed more sapphic love in the Thorneverse & boy did she deliver!! I'm obsessed with this book! Lady Venom Takes a Mistress takes place in the same universe as the Halloween Boys series & it was so fun to see a certain someone make an appearance here too. The "f*ck the patriarchy" vibes in this book are immaculate.
Poesy has been raised to be the "perfect" woman so that she could be auctioned off at the bidding ceremony. She's been able to avoid being chosen for a few years now, but this is the year that she's not so lucky. When her plans don't work, she runs away from her future husband and straight into the arms of Lady Venom, who's known for killing off men in the forest. With the help of Lady Venom, Poesy learns much about herself & even how to protect herself.
Let's just say that Lady Venom is hottttt. I mean knife throwing?? Come on! She's such a badass & teaches Poesy how to use knives to her advantage as well. If you don't like paranormal romances, this one might not be for you. But if that is your jam, just know that Lady Venom has a forked tongue & she sure knows how to use it!
This book is the perfect transition into the autumnal vibes & highly recommend adding it to your fall TBR this year!
Thank you so much to Kat Blackthorne for sending me an early copy to read!
