ARC Review:

If I had a nickel for every book about a Victorian England apothecary ran by a woman that poisons bad men, l'a have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but I love that it happened twice!

I love every single character in the absolute worst way and cannot wait for official release so I can be annoying to all my friends and entice them to read this stunning book.

Definitely read all the trigger warnings and the kink menu (you can find on the authors instagram page very easily) and certainly this book is not for the faint of heart but my goodness was it delectable. "Inappropriate use of rice" wasn't on my bingo card but I'm SO glad it was included (no I am not taking commentary or judgement at this time.)

Can't wait for the next installment! ♥️
