![]() Briseis finds out that the sister of her birth mother has left her a house and land in her will. Very quickly things are turned on their head. However Briseis has a secret that only she and her mothers know – she can bring plants back to life and make new shoots and blooms grow out of a single bit of plant matter. They own a flower shop in the city, and this is where we first meet them. It is told from Briseis’ point of view, who is a black teenage girl living in Brooklyn with her two adoptive mothers who she calls Mom and Mo. This Poison Heart is a fascinating YA fantasy that mixes modern life with ancient mythology so beautifully, drawing you into a world of mystery and leaving you constantly guessing what will happen next. It was even better than I could have imagined, and I cannot wait to share it with you. And I’m so glad it was, because honestly this book drew me in from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down. ![]() ![]() In fact I didn’t even read the blurb before I requested an advanced copy on NetGalley, and was ridiculously excited when my request was approved. Earlier this year I had enjoyed reading her debut novel Cinderella is Dead and knew I wanted to read more from this author. ![]() When I first saw that Kalynn Bayron had another book coming out, I couldn’t wait to read it. Disclosure: I was given a free advanced Kindle version of this book via NetGalley in return for a review. ![]()
