The Poison Diaries by Maryrose Wood

3.0

This book is a confusing one because I don't really know if you can define it as YA, adult or middle grade. It's got psychologic aspects and it's got love and lust, but it kind of starts out innocent and cute like a middle grade book.

The characters are Weed and Jessamine and her Father. They are all keen on botany and interested in poisons and antidotes but this interest which has thoroughly consumed her father's life, results in some BAD consequences later.

Weed's abilities are really unique and I hadn't ever thought of the idea before so from that aspect I really liked the story, however the ending of the book is not what I had hoped that it would be and on the whole it felt a bit too underdeveloped and short in some places.

A good read if you like flowers or if you like fantasy powers.
