ABOUT THE BOOK
Five years ago, Keelyn Blake’s armed, mentally ill stepfather took her
family hostage in their house in rural Colorado. She and her half-sister
Raven made it out alive, but others did not. Authorities blamed the
father’s frequent hallucinations about a being named Lucent, but in the
end, even the best of the FBI’s hostage negotiators failed to overcome
the man’s delusions and end the standoff peacefully.
Now, Lucent is back, and he’s no hallucination. In fact, he is a very
real person with dangerous motives. He has kidnapped Raven’s daughter,
and--Keelyn worries--maybe has hurt Raven as well. Though she is
estranged from her sister, Keelyn feels the immediate need to find Raven
and save what family she has left. But when others who were involved in
that fateful day start dying, some by mysterious circumstances, Keelyn
wonders if she can emerge unscathed a second time.ABOUT THE AUTHOR

MY REVIEW
Since I had read Jordyn's first book of this trilogy, Proof, I had to read the second book, Poison. I was not disappointed. Scary, chilling and absolutely twisted, Poison, kept me spellbound from the first page to the last.
Jordyn's style of writing draws the reader into the story with her strong characters. Her medical knowledge comes through in a way that is easy to understand for any layperson reading her work. She doesn't use terminology without a quick definition that helps the reader to understand what is taking place.
The main characters in this second book are primarily Keelyn, Lee, Nathan and Keeyln's sister, Raven. Though each one of these people are strong, they all have secrets that can and do cause harm. Some of this harm may have a deadly effect.
Woven throughout the storyline, Jordyn weaves a thread of hope. Keelyn, Lee and Nathan have a personal relationship with Jesus. Through the various circumstances and trials, they all find their faith tested.
This is not a stand-alone novel. I highly recommend reading Proof before delving into this spine-chilling second book. Proof lays the foundation that Jordyn uses to build on to bring us Poison.
I do highly recommend this book if you enjoy a good thriller. I don't know that they get any better than this one. I do know I am avidly awaiting for the third book of this Bloodline Trilogy.
