Week 52 Review: Poison

From Goodreads:
Sixteen-year-old Kyra, a highly-skilled potions master, is the only one who knows her kingdom is on the verge of destruction—which means she’s the only one who can save it. Faced with no other choice, Kyra decides to do what she does best: poison the kingdom’s future ruler, who also happens to be her former best friend.

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.

My Review:
This was an adorable, cute, and amazing book. Adding to the fact that this is the only book that will be published, by this author, because the author died before this book was published, which means that she didn't live to see her book out into the world. Which is really sad, and we lost a new talent that could've written so many more amazing books. So read this book slowly, as it's the only one that we'll be getting from Bridget Zinn.

Any ways, something not sad, was her magical pet pig! Because this pig, it was about 90% of this book's cuteness, because yeah, pet pig, magical, enough said. Because who wouldn't want a pet pig? I can't think o anyone who wouldn't want one!

Kyra was awesome. Because she's between a rock and a hard place-kill the Princess, and her best friend-or the kingdom dies. And on top of that, if she succeeds, then she herself is going to die. But...she misses, and has to figure out a new plan, hiding from her ex, Hal, who I really didn't like, and the army, and various others, still planning on killing the Princess.

I really enjoyed Kyra and Fred's banter. Especially near the end, when he says that he's staying for a talented potioner, and she responds with that Hal is "pretty self-absorbed." and you know Fred meant Kyra, and they both know that, just so great!

This was a really fantastic book, and I know it's going to be one of the ones I have to reread soon!
