This week Katy and Rosie dive into The Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson — the USA Today bestselling dark romantasy that BookTok has been absolutely feral about. Meet Harlow Carrenwell: poison-lipped vigilante, reluctant assassin, and woman who has killed every man she’s ever kissed — until she meets the one man who survives.  When her new betrothed Henry Havenwood turns out to be immune to her magic and inconveniently aware of her double life, things get complicated — fast.  Arranged marriage, enemies-to-lovers, a dash of vampires, and a heroine with genuinely lethal personal boundaries. We had opinions.
We also tackle this week’s big question: which book character do you love but would be absolutely terrible in real life? The answers were very telling. No further questions.
☕ Grab your cuppa — and maybe don’t kiss anyone you’ve just met.
⚠️ Trigger warnings: violence, themes of abuse, dark content.
