Everyone knows the legends about the cursed girl - Isabel, the one
the senoras whisper about. They say she has green skin and grass
for hair, and she feeds on the poisonous plants that fill her
family's Caribbean island garden. Some say she can grant wishes;
some say her touch can kill. Seventeen-year-old Lucas lives on the
mainland most of the year but spends summers with his hotel
developer father in Puerto Rico. He's grown up hearing stories
about the cursed girl, and he wants to believe in Isabel and her
magic. When letters from Isabel begin mysteriously appearing in his
room the same day his new girlfriend disappears, Lucas turns to
Isabel for answers and finds himself lured into her strange and
enchanted world. But time is running out for the girl filled with
poison, and the more entangled Lucas becomes with Isabel, the less
certain he is of escaping with his own life.A Fierce and Subtle
Poison beautifully blends magical realism with a page-turning
mystery and a dark, starcrossed romance - all delivered in lush,
urgent prose."A breathtaking story in which myths come to
frightening life and buried wishes might actually come true. This
is a hypnotic debut by a remarkable talent." - Nova Ren Suma,
author of The Walls Around Us and Imaginary Girls
