This Poison Heart

This Poison Heart screams summery plant magic to me, with its dilapidated, potentially cursed house in upstate New York and a walled-off poison garden full of family secrets. Following Bri as she moves there with her moms to control her uncontrollable plant-growing powers, uncovers town mysteries, and deals with locals seeking apothecary help was engaging, especially the supportive family dynamic that I remember loving. The sprawling gardens and empty house added to the sticky, secretive summer feel, though I read it years ago so details are fuzzy. It's a series I wanted to continue but somehow didn't in summer—definitely planning to return. If you love uncontrollable nature and hidden histories in a hot, secluded setting, this checks all the boxes for a creepy fantasy.
