Poison by Bridget Zinn
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.
I'm not quite sure how to feel about this one. It sounded amazing, but I heard from a friend it was cutesy and innocent--not really what I'm looking for and not really my style. But it came with an amazing review so I'm pretty sure I'll give this a try! :D
Also, I was heartbroken to discover that the author lost her life to cancer in 2011. I hope somewhere she's knowing that a lot of people love her book so far and that more will soon!
Right?! I didn't know she passed away either until i looked on her blog. =( but the book sounds interesting. I actually like innocent & cutesy ;)
ReplyDelete-Great pick Nikki! ^_^

Oh I didn't know the Author has passed, that is sad. This is a book I've been wanting to read for awhile now and hope when I do that it lives up to expectations.

I didn't know she had passed either. That's so sad. :( It's also a book I've been waiting for since I saw the cover. I almost used it as my WOW. :p
ReplyDeleteKrista read it. She said it's very Ella Enchanting-esque. Think Disney (and since it's published by Disney-Hyperion, it's pretty fitting lol). If you're ever in the mood for a cute fantasy though, this is a good one to pick up :)
