Book Club Book Review: Poison Study

Poison Study (Study, #1)Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An amazing story about a girl sentanced to death for killing a man who's father took her in off the street and clothed and fed her.
In a world where there are no excuses to crimes and punishment is set in stone Yelena is offered an oppurtunity for life, a life where she is constatly in danger of dying.
People are not what they seem and its hard to know who you can trust so is it worth it?
I was pulled into Yelenas story and followed her journey through her training and discoveries and found this book very hard to put down.
Yelena is a mere girl when a torturous life forces her to commit the sin of murder. The book opens with Yelena in the dungeon, she's been there almost a year. She is to hang for her crimes and confesses, she did kill him. Now comes an incredible choice, face the gallows and die now or take a job as the Commanders food tester, never sure when you may die from an assasination attempt. Yelena has more than just poisons to worry about though as the father of the man she killed tries to have her killed and with more enemies then friends, its very hard for Yelena to know who to trust and there is a reason since everyone seems keen on ending her life.
