Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder

1.0

 I really thought I was going to like this one. I've had my eye on it for a while and finally picked it up this month. Unfortunately nothing about this worked for me. It's been a while since I finished this and all of it is already gone out of my head. I never felt attached to any of the characters and the plot just didn't hold my attention. I was expecting more of a focus on being a food taster but that was a small part of the story. It also had some shocking violent topics in the story that I was expecting at all. That doesn't necessarily mean it shouldn't be in the story I just do highly recommend checking out trigger warnings before picking this up. Then there is the romance. Thankfully there are some other reviews that mention this so I'm not alone in it but I truly thought who ended up being the love interest was the older father figure mentor for the longest time. So obviously I was surprised when he ended up being the love interest. Unfortunately a book that just didn't work for me.
