The real question is why these women dealt with them. I was not disappointed with his death. He needed more bullets. I love the bonds of friendship and family these women had. The struggles of being a lesbian, Jordan went through, were sad. The shame and the hiding because in those times it was considered deviant behavior. A wonderful read....more

It is super hard for me to rate this book because an idiot spoiled it for me. So yeah, thanks for that. This is a parallel timeline of Caroline ParcewIt is super hard for me to rate this book because an idiot spoiled it for me. So yeah, thanks for that. This is a parallel timeline of Caroline Parcewell present day and Nella who sells poisons from her apothecary shop many moons ago. Honestly, I would have preferred to have this book be all about Nella and her tasty, deadly poisons. All Caroline did was cry over her cheating husband. Like girl, we get it. Channel your inner Nella and serve that husband a poisoned meal with a smile on your face. If you can get past the pity party, it was an okay read....more
I find it hard to believe a bunch of teenage, catty girls stuck in this situation would still listen to their teacher or headmistress. Especially if II find it hard to believe a bunch of teenage, catty girls stuck in this situation would still listen to their teacher or headmistress. Especially if I was slowly being eaten alive by some strange disease that made me grow extra parts. I wouldn't have been listening to nobody. I was a hellraiser in high school, so maybe it is my inner rebel talking. Loved the book and some characters. Wish we would have had more info on the Tox and its origins. Solid read if you can suspend belief for awhile....more

Well, that was an interesting read. Loved all the characters and I was quickly invested. Have to say, the plot didn't go the way I was expecting. Which probably would have been a better story. My mind is weird and twisty. I felt like it was missing something. That shock factor that makes you say omg wasn't there. There were some twists, but it wasn't that twisty for me. I would recommend the book though....more

Definitely a unique take on the living dead and how we as a people address them. Out of all the situations I have read about, this seems to be the most realistic to me. Plenty of blood and gore to go around, but that ending is a tearjerker. Bring plenty of tissues!...more
