Cass Connor never thought that her life would be this good again. Her first husband passed away after an ugly battle with cancer, leaving her with two young children. She then met Ryan Connor. Their passion and chemistry were undeniable, plus her two young children absolutely adored Ryan. Now they have been married for three years, have added a young son to their family, and have moved across the country. Things are a lot less passionate as Cass and Ryan are dealing with the everyday stressors of three children, two careers, and living thousands of miles away from family. Cass starts to notice that things are not right with Ryan, she catches him in some white lies and suspects that he is having an affair. And then she starts to get sick. Physical symptoms that leave her weak, ill, and out of her mind with worry. She just knows that she is being poisoned by her husband. Or is she? How can she prove it? How can she keep herself and her children safe from the monster she married? Is Ryan the monster or is she?
Poison is a psychological thriller of the highest caliber. At first, Cass and Ryan seemed so normal. They seem like every other married couple out there and I really like Cass. When Cass starts to exhibit signs of poisoning I was not sure that I believed her. Ryan does a really good job of convincing the reader that it is all in her head. A really good job. I even thought that maybe she was pregnant and was having "pregnancy brain" in the form of paranoia. Cass has one friend and that is Nora who had questioned Ryan's behavior from almost the beginning. Because Nora was dissing Ryan from the beginning I almost wondered if she was the one having the affair with Ryan. Cass soon starts to trust their quirky neighbor. He helps her install security cameras and seems so solid that I glad she had him. But, I think what this book proves, more than anything, is that you can't trust anybody but yourself. -- CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS
