I loved this squeal to the first book! Just as good and just as creepy!! With these poisonous plants that have minds of their owns that even cause humans to do things they wish not to. This situation causes the perfect mix of a romance and creepy horror. I also absolutely loved how the author reminded the reader of the age period of the story with the accusal of Jessamine being a witch and even tested! Wonderful! MS - ESSENTIAL. Student Reviewer: KU
