The Poison Daughter by Sheila MastersonMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I've been hearing great things about this book so of course I had to pick it up. And while I did stick through until the end to 650 pages, I didn't love it sadly.
First, the length. This did not need 650 pages. So much repetition and unnecessary parts could have been cut to make this a smaller novel.
Second, the characters. Both of these characters are in their 30s, but letting mom and dad decide every decision in their lives. All while hating them. Well at least for Harlow. Just grow a spine and make your own choices!
I did like Harlows gift. I'd love to have that honestly. Henry was just meh. I did like the animalistic personality but that wasn't enough for me to really like him.
The amount of secrets in this book is ridiculous. And some of the reveals didn't really go far into a description that made sense.
I also think the ending was rushed and wrapped up very conveniently considering it to forever and a day to get to that part.
Overall I'm glad I read it to know that this book wasn't really for me overall.
