This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron
4.0
Although I quite liked this story, the pacing was a little too slow for me in the first part of the story.
In the second part, the build-up in the tension is well done, and the story as a whole proceeds at a faster pace. I liked the incorporation of Greek mythology. It made me curious as to where the story would take us. I think this story would be best described as a blend between urban fantasy and thriller. While it didn't blow me away, I had a good time while reading it. Would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a YA fantasy with a Black, bi main character, queer side characters that are properly developed, and where the story has thriller undertones.
