Description
Love potions is a dangerous business. Brewing has painful, debilitating side effects, and getting caught means death or a prison sentence. But what Venus is most afraid of is the dark, sentient magic within her.
Then an enemy's iron bullet kills her mother, Venus's life implodes. Keeping her reckless little sister Janus safe is now her responsibility. When the powerful Grand Witcher, the ruthless head of her coven, offers Venus the chance to punish her mother's killer, she has to pay a steep price for revenge. The cost? Brew poisonous potions to enslave D.C.'s most influential politicians.
As Venus crawls deeper into the corrupt underbelly of her city, the line between magic and power blurs, and it's hard to tell who to trust...Herself included.
The Poisons We Drink is a potent YA debut about a world where love potions are weaponized against hate and prejudice, sisterhood is unbreakable, and self-love is life and death.

Das war richtig gut. Urban Fantasy mit Hexen, politisch, queer, mit einem einzigartigen Magiesystem und einer tollen Schwesternbeziehung. Sprachlich fand ich es auch gar nicht so leicht, manche Stellen musste ich zweimal lesen, um sie nachvollziehen zu können. Trotzdem bin ich hier und da ein bisschen angeschweift, aber die Spannung konnte sonst eigentlich relativ konstant gehalten werden. Ein eindrucksvolles Debüt!
