Why We Love It

"When she’s swinging an axe at his head and the only thing he can think to say is “Marry me?” you have my full attention. This book is all kinds of messed up, but I would be lying if I didn’t love every single minute of it. If you’re interested in the idea of dark romance, but can’t get over some of the taboo tropes, this book is for you. Because, of course he murders people. He has to eat." -Courtney

More About This Book

Publisher's Description

The Lost Apothecary meets Gothikana in a Victorian era gothic romance about a botanist who likes to poison unsavory men, but when her next target visits her apothecary, they discover their dark bond runs deeper than they imagined. The first printing of this dazzling new edition will feature gorgeous custom-designed edges!

Amidst the gaslit alleys and cobblestone streets of Victorian London, two killers find themselves entangled in a waltz they cannot escape.

Alina Lis, a botanist and hobbyist poisoner, has a pastime of killing unsavory men in her twisted sense of poetic justice. When she targets the conceited playboy, Silas Forbes, only to find him in her apothecary the following week, she discovers human men are the least of her problems.

The pair’s unlikely association sparks gossip among affluent society. As their mysterious bond deepens, a chilling truth emerges—concealed identities, lurking foes, and questions as plentiful as the hydra’s head brew within this haunting Gothic tale of violent passion.

Will Silas and Alina find themselves in each other's arms, or will the shadows of their past keep them apart?
