All of Leelo's life she has lived on a small island with a river surrounding it, and it's not just an ordinary river- it's a poisonous one that could kill a grown man in minutes. The islanders claim it's for their protection, but often times Leelo feels trapped. Then one day, when Leelo was taking look out on the shore and she sees a boat coming, with a man in it. Panicked because it's her duty to kill any outsiders, she freezes on the spot and even helps the man, Jaren, find shelter and food. Torn between her life of comfort and stability vs the exciting new life on the mainland Jaren starts sharing with her, Leelo will have to decide, all while hiding an outsider on a island full of people that would kill Jaren in a heartbeat.
The Poison Season was a very quick read for me, the world building was fantastic and I thought the romance was top notch. I even cried at a few parts, so nice job to the author. One thing I did not particularly like, was the ending, it all just ends with a nice pretty bow on top with not much explanation to why or how and it seemed a little lazy, but all in all a good read. Leelo is described with pale white skin and pale blonde hair with blue eyes. Jaren is described with tan skin and chesnut brown hair.
