Sixteen-year-old Kyra, a highly-skilled potions master, is the only one who knows her kingdom is on the verge of destruction—which means she’s the only one who can save it. Faced with no other choice, Kyra decides to do what she does best: poison the kingdom’s future ruler, who also happens to be her former best friend.
But, for the first time ever, her poisoned dart . . . misses.
Now a fugitive instead of a hero, Kyra is caught in a game of hide-and-seek with the king’s army and her potioner ex-boyfriend, Hal. At least she’s not alone. She’s armed with her vital potions, a too-cute pig, and Fred, the charming adventurer she can’t stop thinking about. Kyra is determined to get herself a second chance (at murder), but will she be able to find and defeat the princess before Hal and the army find her?
Kyra is not your typical murderer, and she’s certainly no damsel-in-distress—she’s the lovable and quick-witted hero of this romantic novel that has all the right ingredients to make teen girls swoon.
Poison by Bridget Zinn
Doesn’t this book sound fabulous?! Fantasy, fairy tales, romance, princesses, and more! Plus, the cover is beautiful! Are you as excited as I am??
This is one book I’m also very excited for.
It’s so sad that the author died in 2011.
I know, it’s terrible. 🙁
I’m looking forward to this one as well! I keep thinking it’ll have a Grave Mercy type of feel… I guess we’ll find out! 🙂
Oh yes, this does sound fabulous! Great pick =D
Here’s my WoW!

This book sounds fabulous, and the cover is truly beautiful! Hope you’ll be able to get an early copy and devour it soon 🙂
What an awesome cover! I’ve seen this on a few other blogs, but didn’t add it to my to read list. But that’s changing now. 🙂
see what I picked this week at Read. Sleep. Repeat.
I could definitely get into this book! Saw Sabrina’s post about the author passing away. How is it being published now? Know if it was meant to be a stand alone novel or if it was meant to be the first in a series? Adding it to my to-read list.
Thanks, Ashley!
I think Disney bought the rights to the book before she passed away. I assume it was written to be a stand alone, or else they probably tweaked the ending so that it could be! Not really sure though. But it is really sad. 🙁
Love fairy tales. This sounds awesome and that cover is gorgeous!
Thanks for sharing 🙂

I’ve seen this book a couple of times and I think it’s on my TBR.
It sounds really good, great pick! 🙂
Samantha @ The Secret Life of a Bookworm
Yup. I’m adding this one to my shelf.
My WoW this week is Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo.
Thanks for stopping by my WoW! I’ve seen this one for awhile and I think it sounds great! I love the random pig too on the cover, lol.
Agreeing with you on this one! I love the sound of this book, even if she wants to kill her ex-best friend… That’s a little scary…
Thanks for stopping by!

I love the sound of this, but I’m kind of taken aback by the similarities between the umm.. Snow White and the Huntsman (book) cover and this one. But I do think that the synopsis sounds awesome and I can’t wait to explore this mystical fairy tale:)
That’s true, they are really similar. I actually prefer the Poison cover though. I like how it’s a bit lighter and I love the font effects on the title!
You’re so lucky to have an arc of Pivot Point! I hope you enjoy it 🙂 Also, this sounds like an interesting read! I will have to put it on my Debut Author Challenge list.
Thanks for stopping by!
-Heather @ OwlnestlyReviews
YES! I love this pick! I cannot wait to read this book! Thanks for stopping by my wow.
Teresa @ Readers Live A Thousand Lives
This reminds me of Poison Study, but sounds great.
Hope you get to read it soon!

I’m so excited for this one too. I think it is on NetGalley right now:)
Yeah it is, but Disney doesn’t accept requests from bloggers. 🙁 *pouts*
I almost never have a book mentioned in a WoW — but I actually have this one. Thanks for making me excited to read it!
I’m so jealous!!
Oh wow! This sounds promising, Ashley! Cant wait to read it! 😀 The cover reminds me of Snow White and the Huntsman! 😀
I’m excited about this one, too! The cover reminds me of Snow White and the Huntsman though…but I might like the paperback cover better once it’s released (forever from now). Thanks for stopping by my WoW 🙂
Great choice. I am really excited for this one too. It looks so awesome.
Great pick! I definitely have this one on my list too. It sounds so good!
Thanks for visiting my post!
This one does sound really good! I had seen it on NG and had to force myself not to request it. I’m very curious to see some reviews of it! Great pick!
Thank you for putting this on my radar. I was sold at the part where she has a too-cute pig, and the pig on the cover. Thank you, thank you, thank you! And thanks for sharing and stopping by! (:
Rachel @ Beauty and the Bookshelf
Haha! 😀 You’re welcome!
This is one of the books I’m already waiting on! I’m going to try and buy it next year. Fantastic choice!
Thanks for stopping by my WoW this week 😀
…. This does sound pretty good. I have to read more into the real fairytale section, or get back more form the paranormal to the real fantasy. Looking forward to this, thank you very much! =)
I know. I love the sound of it. I got it on Netgalley. Can’t wait to read it.
I’m brimming with jealousy over here! I can’t wait to read your review!
This book sounds fantastic! I’ll add it to my TBR list at once. Thanks for sharing! And thanks for stoppinf by my blog 🙂
That’s on my to read list too! It looks so promising.
Wow, this looks awesome! The cover is gorgeous as well – thanks for sharing. ^.^

Woww, I hadn’t heard about this one but it sounds so interesting!!! Sounds like a really unique fantasy that I could really love. I think it’s going on my list. 🙂 Thanks for sharing, and for stopping by my blog 🙂
I hate that this cover looks like the Snow White and the Huntsman poster. I’m not sure about this one. I received an ARC by surprise but it’s not high on my list. I gotta say, the pig really intrigues me 🙂
Ohh totally jealous of your ARC. 😛 I actually like this cover more than the Snow White one. XD This one has a brighter feel to it and I think I like that. Just more my style I think!
This is the first time I noticed the little piggy on the cover. LOL This book really does sound good. Great pick! 🙂
Thanks for stopping by my post!

I would want to read this only by its gorgeous cover!
