A Poison Dark And Drowning Review

A Poison Dark and Drowning by Jessica Cluess

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This was so good and creepy!

Henrietta has now fully embraced her destiny. She's taken on the role of the "chosen" one even though her group of friends and allies are fully aware of the truth. She is racing against the clock, scrambling to find a cure for her beloved Rook before his humanity is swallowed whole by the darkness within him.

I loved all the magical battles in this one--the stakes were definitely upped from the first book. Almost every other chapter had a new plot twist, making my head spin. Each new reveal gave the characters a smidgen of hope that they might be able to defeat the Ancients before it was cheerfully yanked away!

As for the romance, I'm not sure I like Blackwood anymore; he was borderline creepy. I think I'll root for Magnus from now on.

Can't wait for the next one.
