A review by reneeyik
Venom by Fiona Paul
5.0
I really really loved this book. Maybe it's because I haven't been reading a lot recently due to school work and other distractions, but I thought that this was really different from the typical YA fiction.
I didn't hate her despite some of her decisions and that is actually a first for me because I have some odd thing where I usually don't like the main characters much. Or at least, she didn't irritate me.
Romance was definitely there, yes, but it wasn't straight up in my face, if you know what I mean. I didn't feel like every page was her moaning about her love and how much she wanted to see him and all that stuff that most of the girls spend their time thinking about in YA books.
And the mystery of everything? Beautiful. Set in Venice too? Fantastic.
Seeing as how this is the first book of Fiona Paul I can definitely say that I will continue to read more of her books if they are as great as this one.
