Kathy's Reviews > Poison

Poison was a fun read that will likely appeal to a wide audience. It's appropriate for tweens and has appeal for older readers too. The story started out strong and then lagged in the middle for me. By mid book it was a 3 star read but thankfully it finished with some fun twists at the end leaving me satisfied. So glad I kept reading. I love when an element of the story takes me by surprise and this book did that for me. (In hindsight I guess I should have seen it coming but I love when I don't see something until it's there).

There are some really fun elements to this story including an enchanted pig and a stranger named Fred who Kyra just can't seem to shake. I'll be passing this on to my daughter as I think she'll enjoy it.
