3.0

So this is my first time reading a ook combining actual herbology with murder mystery and safe to say, I like it. I appreciate the new knowledge on different plants and what it does to a human anatomy. It was weaved in seamlessly to the storyline.

Plot wise, I am on the fence how I feel about it overall. While I like the different twists introduced, some sounded abrupt because of the transitions could've been better.

I like the characters and their personality, although at one point there were repetitions of descriptions and the meet up between characters were confusing. Nevertheless, the spunk of the FMC more than made up for it
