This Poison Heart

Briseis has a secret, one that has scared friends away and, if she’s willing to admit it, one that scares her and her parents as well. But when her aunt dies and leaves her an estate, she has the freedom to explore her ability with plants where no one will get hurt. While making new friends and searching for answers hidden on the estate, things more deadly than she could ever have dreamed turn up, leaving her with more questions than answers.

This Poison Heart is full of interesting characters, some who don’t even appear but are interesting nonetheless, as well as danger and mystery. Although I figured out some of the things that were going on not even halfway through, other things I never saw coming. The book closes one chapter of the story at the end and starts a new one at the same time. I love Briseis’s parents; they’re involved in her life, and as for the things she keeps from them, she has good reasons to do so, even if she doesn’t want to.
