WoW: The Poisons We Drink by Bethany Baptiste

This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!

In a country divided between humans and witchers, Venus Stoneheart hustles as a brewer making illegal love potions to support her family.

Love potions is 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.

Then 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 D.C.’s most influential politicians.

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.

Why I’m Waiting: This whole entire synopsis sounds amazing. And like the illegal love potions?! It sounds so good! And then there’s the mention of D.C.’s most influential politicians lol It sounds so out of place, but that makes me so much more interested. And of course she can’t even trust herself so I need to know why or what might happen. I need to know all the things!

What about you? Does this sound good to you too? Let me know in the comments!
