Publisher's summary
In a country divided between humans and witchers, Venus Stoneheart hustles as a brewer making illegal love potions to support her family.
Love potions are a dangerous business. Brewing has painful, debilitating side effects, and getting caught means death or a prison sentence. But what Venus is most afraid of is the dark, sentient magic within her.
When an enemy’s iron bullet kills her mother, Venus’s life implodes. Keeping her reckless little sister, Janus, safe is now her responsibility. When the powerful Grand Witcher, the ruthless head of her coven, offers Venus the chance to punish her mother’s killer, she has to pay a steep price for revenge.
The cost? Brew poisonous potions to enslave DC’s most influential politicians in order to pass legislation that will protect witchers for years to come.
As Venus crawls deeper into the corrupt underbelly of her city, the line between magic and power blurs, and it’s hard to tell who to trust … herself included.
The Poisons We Drink is a potent debut about a world where love potions are weaponized against hate and prejudice, sisterhood is unbreakable, and self-love is life and death.

As the reluctant heir to her father’s reaper-hunting empire, Elise Saint knows that the Harlem reapers want her dead. Among them is Layla Quinn, who lost her parents, the protection of the Saints, and her humanity the night she was turned into a reaper. And she’ll never forget how Elise Saint betrayed her.

Nestled between Little St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island, Salix Pointe is not a place that many people know of. Part of the Golden Isles of Georgia, all the weeping willows that grow there have led the surrounding town’s folk to call it the Island of Death. Elisa and Tasmin may not want to put too much stock into the folklore of Salix Pointe, but there is a reason that the universe has brought the two women together.

Story
It’s 1926, and reapers are growing stronger everywhere. Created centuries ago by cruel medical experiments, these once-human vampires are driven to attack without mercy. Those who protect the city from them hold more power than even the organized criminals who run the nightclubs. As the reluctant heir to her father’s reaper-hunting empire, Elise Saint knows that the Harlem reapers want her dead. Among them is Layla Quinn, who lost her parents, the protection of the Saints, and her humanity the night she was turned into a reaper. And she’ll never forget how Elise Saint betrayed her.

Story
After Winna's little sister breaks her glasses, her grandfather gives her an old-timey pair of spectacles that belonged to her great-aunt Estelle. The specs are silver and perfectly circular, with tiny stars on the bridge and earpieces that curl all the way around her ears. Best of all, they're magic. Because when Winna makes a wish beginning with the words "What if"—that is, when she speculates—the spectacles grant it.

Excellent Story!
Literally a ride from beginning to end. Great juxtaposition to modern societal issues while still allowing the listener an escape from the right/left drama.

Worth IT
I was hooked from the first chapter. The characters are uniquely written. They captivate you and draw you into a world of magic, love, and... I will let you fill in the blanks. It is a must-read!!

Prose, Narration, Twists!!
The story and world building was stellar, the progression kept me engaged, plenty of twisty plotlines but not too overwhelming. Narration was amazing!! All of the characters had unique voices and the dialogue was full of emotion.

Magic if course
Sure, here's the revised text:
"I would consider it one of those books that demand your full attention while reading. You have to stay focused because every detail is important to the storyline. Aside from that, the book was excellent, and I didn't even notice how long it was. The narrator did a fantastic job. I highly recommend checking it out."

enjoyable
I was anticipating this and it didnt disappoint storywise, the worldbuilding was great, and the characters enjoyable...
What I didn't like was some of the characters' motivations, decisions or actions that sounded wild considering their situation, and those are skipped over or never addressed... And IT's storyline wasn't satisfying at all because if you weigh the pros and the cons of using/not using IT in some of the situations V finds herself in, it just makes you wonder why she never befriended it in the first place... for a brewer she should know about making lemonade out of lemons but... regardless of that, storywise, V kinda achieves the same result as if they worked their way to an agreement, so it feels a bit disconnected.
All in all, the story was enjoyable...
