This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron

Briseis lives in New York City and works with her moms in their floral shop, where she tries to keep control of her secret power over plants.

When a surprise relative leaves a crumbling estate in the country to Bri, the family decides to try it out for the summer.

As Briseis learns more about her biological family, she also learns more about her powers.

It seems she is immune to even the most deadly of poisonous plants.

Strange people show up asking for herbal remedies and Bri meets some interesting characters who may want more than she knows.

She explores the grounds and discovers a secret poisonous garden.

Is this Bri’s legacy? Who is trying to gain access to these plants?

Does Briseis even want to protect and cultivate these sinister plants?

Bri’s journey into her powers makes for a compelling story with some high stakes set up for the sequel.

With a unique magic system and realistic characters, I will be reading the sequel very soon!

Perfect for teens and adults who like magical realism.
