Narrated in duet style by Anthony Palmini and Laura Horowitz.

True enemies to lovers. Murder as a love language. Blistering romance. The intoxicating global fantasy romance bestseller you won’t be able to resist.

‘I'd rather be tortured by your presence than agonized by your absence.’

Every person Harlow Carrenwell kisses dies, and that’s the way she likes it.

Her first husband is in the ground. Her new betrothed is next.

But Harlow has a secret. When she’s not acting as her parents’ assassin, she moonlights as a vigilante hunting abusive men in their walled city.

Until one night Harlow kisses a mark and he doesn’t die.

Worse, he is her new betrothed, Henry Havenwood, and now he knows about her double life. Instead of exposing her, he does something far more dangerous – he whisks her away to marry him in his wild mountain fort.

Cursed with a husband she can’t kill and trapped in a fort surrounded by vampire-infested woods, Harlow must do the impossible. . .

Make the man who knows she’s a killer fall in love with her anyway.

I have been waiting for The Poison Daughter to come out on Audible for what seems like forever and finally it's here 🤗. Was it worth all the hype? A big fat yes. Thoroughly engrossing in all the right ways. Listened in the car while driving from Sydney to Cairns, along with my husband and the trip sped by. (My husbands first audible and he also enjoyed)
It has everything without being over the top. You feel apart of it all -I actually cried 😨 Enemies to lovers, tension ++ . It was gritty and raw. Check the trigger warnings as it's also violently dark and spicy.
The narrators absolutely nailed it! Well done.
The story was a little repetitive in the middle but you can over look that. Ending was perfection. I am so glad Sheila Masterson chose to make it a standalone- 🫶🏼 Thank you

Loved reading this so much on Kindle that I was excited to see the Audible version. Great performances, clever story, great banter, chemistry was hot. Read like a series in a standalone book.

Favourite book of the year!

It’s perfect! The duet is amazing. I felt the chemistry was so real in the actors' performance, and it’s so good. This book makes everything feel so good and perfect!

Amazing performance and book

I have read/listened to a lot of books and I cannot say enough how refreshing this book has been. It was a complex, interesting and unique story with so many moving parts... absolutely loved every second of it. I am an avid romanticy reader, and don't get me wrong, I love what spice brings to a story-and the spice was decently written in this book-but I actually loved the story so much, I didn't even really need all of the spice, and I found myself being eager to return to the story. Which is crazy. This was one of my better reads this year. So much so that l've already started to read the author's other series-book one is already so interesting and unique. If you love romanticy-you will love this book.
So fun!

Fantastic read, pleasantly surprised
