8 posts | 20 read | 13 to read
In the right dose, everything is a poison . . . even love.Jessamine Luxton has lived all her sixteen years in an isolated cottage near Alnwick Castle with her father, Thomas, a feared and respected apothecary. His pride and obsession, a poison garden, contains exotic and local specimens of the most dangerous plants in the world. But Jessamine is absolutely forbidden to enter.Her life changes forever the day a traveler brings a stranger to their cottage, claiming that the young man has special gifts that Thomas might value. Jessamine is intrigued by the young man, who goes by the name of Weed. He has an intense sensitivity to growing things, and an even rarer and more specialized knowledge about plants than Thomas does. As Jessamine falls in love with Weed, she learns his extraordinary secret and is drawn into the dangerous world of the poison garden in a way she never could have imagined. . . ."

Finished off this tonight. I must say it was a really good book and I have enjoyed reading it. But maybe not enough to read the next book in the series. Still I would recommend this read.

While waiting for my library books to come in I have pulled this off my TBR shelf of books I own. It looks good, so everything crossed it will be.

Take a walk through the garden and listen to each of the poisonous plants tell their stories. This is a dark and creepy book with beautiful botanical illustrations.

alisiakae This sounds really good! I love your description. 5y

#SeptemberDanes Day 4: #Poison Diaries contains info re various plants with such clarity and … yes, authenticity. While I found the diary-stylistic-technique a little bit contrived, the knowledge about plants was not. I liked reading about foxglove, moonseed, oleander and very curious names of powerful plants that have the power to cure or kill a person. It lent the book a credible and unique quality to it.

You see, Jessamine, love is a kind of poison; one of my favorite kinds, in fact. It infects the blood; it takes over the mind; it seizes dominance over the body.
