... Knife, Morningstar Strain, Vampire Earth...) The list goes ON! In fact, the only series I've made it through is Poison Study, and those that I stopped because they were too bad to continue Hominids, Black by Ted Dekker, The Nightside books, etc. Some of them don't seem to ...

... done with the book. The "quote" at the bottom of the front cover praises the book - then is attributed to a review of Poison Study and a quote on the back cover is in reference to Fire Study. Both of which are books from a different series. And the write-up (plot description) on the ...

#60 Poison Study by Maria Snyder Quite an enjoyable book. The characters were good and the story was very interesting. It is about a girl who is sentenced to be executed but is given a reprieve because she agrees to be the "Commander's" food taster. This book reminds me a little of The Mis ...

I didn't think there was sexual violence in Poison Study though this theme is noticeable in Storm Glass by the same author. Of course... I felt that Poison Study was enjoyable because it *didn't* have gratuitous sex (it's kinda romancy - flowery, not outright sexual) but yet was still ...

# I seem to remember that Poison study had quite a lot of sexual violence in it. And on second thoughts, I'd probably remove Rimrunners from my list, as its a bit bleak. With CJ Cherryh the sex is usually more political than recreational. I'll substitute instead two military sci-fi books ...

I highly recommend Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder and its sequels. It's about adults, it's exciting, and it's romantic. There are one or two sex scenes in each one as I recall, where they made sense in the plot. You might also find something of interest in this thread: http://www.libraryth ...

I'm still reading Poison Study but haven't really gotten into it yet. I'm also reading Devilish, my first foray into Maureen Johnson's work.

I finished Zombie Blondes by Brian James a few days ago and now I'm reading Poison study.

My favourite comfort reads would be: Anything and everything by Tamora Pierce (i know that's 25+ books but hey) Poison Study - dunno why i just really like re-reading it The Chronicles of Narnia always quick fun re-reads and that's all I've got at the moment...

SaraHope in Book talk : What makes it YA? (Aug 27, 2009, 2:20pm)

For instance, you mentioned Poison Study, which has been published with two different covers, and the redone cover was (I believe) specifically designed with teens in mind. To my understanding, it's ...

... w While neither Magic Study (Book 2) nor Fire Study (Book 3) live up to the extraordinariness that was her debut, Poison Study, I still have to say that Maria Snyder’s ability to tell a unique story is unparalleled, and that I remain a staunch fan. Yelena’s world remains ...

... by Maria is near-guaranteed to be good and although the first book in the Opal Cowan trilogy wasn't as mindblowing as poison Study was, it certainly is still worth a read. Opal is a likeable heroine despite her strange propensity for getting captured 4 or 5 times during the story. I would ...

#6 I quite enjoed Poison Study (for a free book) and am looking forward to the rest at some stage. If I've already bought the books I'll read them once, all the way through, no matter how bad - unless it's really exceptionally bad. But I've no compulsion about not buying the rest if I get to a ...
