“holy hot damn 🤭”
“GET THE AUDIOBOOK !!
The noises omg 😱
This book was so different from anything I’ve read before.
It contains a dual point of view and follows Alina ‘The Poisoner’ and Silas ‘The Creature’.
Alina has made a hobby out of poisoning men of a certain nature and upon meeting Silas at a party he becomes her next target but she soon discovers Silas is unlike any man she has encountered before.
Soon Alina become an obsession of sorts to Silas and everywhere she goes he is there, watching.
I was absolutely obsessed with Alina, I haven’t read an MF book in quite some time because FMCs have (what seems to be universally) become weak, fragile characters but Alina is the opposite.
And Silas ? 🫦 THAT MAN omg.”
