The Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson (Audiobook)- Book review
*May contain minor spoilers
This book introduced me to a whole new level of WILDerness and had me gasping for air š«Ŗš„µš«Ŗ. And let me just say⦠this is definitely NOT going to be everyoneās cup of tea. The š¶ļø is feral, primitive, and unhinged, BUT if this is your vibe, youāre surely going to savor every bit of it. š
It was not an easy read. There were moments when I questioned why I should keep reading, but I really loved the narration. Anthony Palmini and Laura Horowitz did an amazing job, especially with the banters. The story also gets more interesting as it goes on.
The blurb: Harlow (FMC) has a poisoned kiss, and she is in an arranged marriage with Henry (MMC). He is immune to her poison. Theyāre both in their 30s, and their relationship is complicated. Her being completely open about finding ways to unalive him while he knows exactly what sheās planning. Both having the time of their life loathing each other. A toxic relationship like poison. Both of them are twisted, broken, and messy individuals, full of ego and pride, conflicted. Yet somehow theyāre exactly right for each other. š
And Iām SO glad I didnāt give up on this because, despite its flaws, I ended up loving this book. It stirred up A LOT of emotions, especially anger and pity. By the end, though, it all made sense to me, and they found a way to heal and become better versions of themselves.
The revelation around Chapter 57 is the most memorable for me. It was so emotional.
So yeah⦠I ate up those last chapters so much that I needed more. There were noneā¦š„¹š„¹
Highly recommend if youāre looking for a wild adventure š with plot and drama.
What to expect that I didnāt mention above:
* They have to do it with an audience.
* MMC is veeery dominant š. She fights him, but she submits.
* Tom-and-Jerry chase š
*Family drama, politics, vampire like creatures
* Plenty of TWs
