Publisher Description

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 little company apart from the plants in her garden. Her father, Thomas, a feared and respected apothecary, has taught her much about the incredible powers of plants: that even the most innocent-looking weed can cure -- or kill.

When Jessamine begins to fall in love with a mysterious boy who claims to communicate with plants, she is drawn into the dangerous world of the poison garden in a way she never could have imagined . . .

"What surprised me the most about The Poison Diaries is how atmospheric it was. The mood was set from the very first page and never strayed. Very dark and intense and a wonderful quick, engaging, and very unique read. The twist at the end was riveting, and I cannot wait to see what happens next."

— Ricki (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Lyrical and lovely, a fast-paced literary gem.”

    — Ally Carter, New York Times bestselling author

  • “A passionate story…Wood does a marvelous job of creating heart-wrenching decisions for her characters and portraying a doomed romance reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet.”

    — Publishers Weekly

  • “This intriguing fantasy has many tendrils to wrap around teen hearts. The haunting ending will leave readers wanting to talk about the themes of cruelty, honesty, and loyalty.” 

    — Booklist

  • “Wood fashions a narrative whose conventions of gothic romance intertwine with, then utterly succumb to, the brutal forces of human obsession. Absorbing.”

    — Kirkus Reviews

    " I LOVED The Poison Diaries. It's a great historical paranormal romance that was incredibly original, and kept me guessing. Themes of human motives, passions, and loyalties all make this an incredible read. My only complaint is that it ends too abruptly... Bring on the sequel! "

    " What a weird little book. It started out one way and then totally switched gears. It was almost like two people wrote it. Can't really recommend but it wasn't painful, just strange. "

    " I did enjoy this book. I wouldn't say it's the best but its no way the worst. Does leave U on a cliff hanger 2 wanna read the next, which i will. But I must say that writer must have been on something with the stuff going on in that book lol. "

    " An odd book about a boy who can talk to plants and a father who is willing to poison his daughter to get his secrets. The language was a bit flowery for me ( no pun intended) and I never really felt anything for the characters. "

    " This book was just a book to pass the time. One thing that bugged me while reading was that she never fully explained how the characters were feeling you had to fill in the blank and wait till later in the book if thats what they were truly feeling. "
