A review by cosymilko
The Poison Garden by Sarah Singleton

4.0

This book was entirely not what I expected. When Thomas' grandmother dies and bequeaths him a box he doesn't quite know what to make of it. A secret garden his grandmother cultivated exists inside the box. 6 other gardens exist but someone is killing the owners off one by one.

I really enjoyed the concept of this book. Secret gardens only you control and shape with your thoughts? Yes please. I could have read about the gardens alone for 300 pages but instead there is a who done it that jumps through space and time and the gardens.

I loved how the book was broken down into parts each called a different name to match the gardens. I enjoyed hearing why each of the characters had shaped their gardens in a specific way. I could have easily have imagined this to be a series of three or seven books covering the history and changes of the garden.

Definitely not something to be lumped in with paranormal romance. It is a good paranormal mystery with beautiful gardens to go with it.
