A Fierce and Subtle Poison By: Samantha Mabry “How Would you describe your condition?” I asked. Isabel didn’t respond. Instead, her eyes landed on a wasp, possibly the same one that had been buzzing around my ear earlier. Isabel turned her chin slightly in its direction. She blew out as if extinguishing a candle flame. For a split-second the wasp hovered in the air. Then it dropped dead to the ground. -An excerpt from 'A Fierce and Subtle Poison' In a small Puerto Rican town, legend and superstition still run rampant. There is one legend in particular that seventeen year old Lucas Knight is drawn to. He grows up hearing tales of the cursed girl from the local señoras. It is said she has green skin and grass for hair. Some say she grants wishes, some say her touch kills. When Lucas receives notes in his hotel room from the cursed girl and his girlfriend along with other local girls go missing he turns to Isabel for answers. But the girl with poison running through her veins is dying. She is the only one with the knowledge of the missing girls location. On a race to escape death and save the missing girls, Lucas and Isabel are thrown into a heart wrenching adventure and only one of them is coming back alive. I fell in love with the book cover, but the words are just as beautiful. I really enjoyed the supernatural and forbidden love aspects of this book. The suspense and mystery the author creates throughout the pages will take your breath away. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves books full of myths, legends, and mystery.
