graceharper7 's review for:

The Poisoner by I.V. Ophelia
4.0

I liked this!! I loved the banter & chemistry between Silas and Alina. I mean maybe it’s a hot take, but I loved Silas. He’s definitely morally grey/black, so nothing he did or said shocked me. He was absolutely enamored with Alina and I LOVED that about him. I also thought the time period/setting being set in the Victorian Era of London was a nice change to my usual reads.

The plot did fall a little flat for me around 60% ish. I don’t even remember exactly what it was because I did end up kind of putting the book down for a bit since I read multiple books at once. But overall, I liked that it felt different from anything I’ve read recently and I enjoyed it.

Really looking forward to book 2 after the cliffhanger!!

**check trigger warnings!! There is a SA scene in this book
