It started with a fight at school.
The girl who attacked me burst into flames on the way to the hospital, and now, I’m starting to…change.
In less than a week, my biggest problem has gone from trying to decide what to do if I don’t get into The Citadel to navigating the front lines of a looming, supernatural war.
And you know what? I signed up for all the honors classes these past four … classes these past four years. None of them prepared me for Eden’s Bluff, a school in the Bermuda Triangle with human-elemental hybrids, angels, snakes with wings, and an inter-dimensional veil that someone is trying to destroy.
Unless I stop them.
Poisoned Garden is the first book in the YA spinoff series to First Bloods: A Dystopian SciFi / Supernatural Thriller series.

Technically this is a spin off series but I suggest you read Nervous Waters, Feral, and Bad Seed before you read this one. It will make a lot more sense if you read those first.
I was honestly super excited about this perspective of the story and boy did the author NOT disappoint. In Nervous Waters you have the water aspect, and the jail island of the location. I’m Feral and Bad Seed you have more of the Citadel with a dash of outside the wall. But in this story it’s about everything we are missing. Fills in the missing pieces of the different locations. This book completes the series and everything around them.
This story starts with us meeting Halsey and Max. Two seniors getting ready for school to be over and what that entails. Halsey being one of the mutated and Max being normal. Halsey goes to a special school that will help her learn to control what she can do. Will this hidden away school be safe? What is she? How powerful will she be? We meet Leo Red-cloud who is a dragon, Alita who is a fox and Halsey’s roommate, Rhea who is a Djin Snake, Alec a Udine, and Bryce a wolf. Halsey navigates her way through this new place while trying to find herself as well.
The more she learns the more confused she is. All she knows is she has to find Knox. Will she make it to him before the others? There are so many twists and turns that you don’t see coming. So many bombs dropped that leave you shook. An action packed adventure that keeps you on your toes from the time it starts until the very end. A great escape! A very captivating read that had me hooked before I even read it.
You will not be disappointed! This author has created an amazing new world that is both scary and exciting. I absolutely love the characters and feel like they are life long friends. They tug at my heart.
A recommend not only this book but this author as well! All her books are amazing and I can’t wait to see what the future hold for her!!
PLEASE READ!!!
This book turned out to be sooooo much more than I expected, which was nothing really. It seemed that it might just be an interesting way to pass my time but so much come out of the book it was amazing. The author managed to take well understood religious mythology and make it into something interesting and almost more. She built a world that I simply cannot await to enter again.

Enjoyable read
This book started out a bit slow for me but as it progressed the pace picked up. I was sad that it didnt grab me as quickly as I had hoped, as the blurb was fantastic. The writing was done decently well. Alot of effort was put into this book and for that I applaud the author. Overall it was a good book, just not quite what I need.
I can’t describe how much I loved this book! It’s a fantastic start of a new series. It tells the story of Halsey, who changes after a fight with a girl from her school. Weird things start to happen and before she knows it, she’s accepted at Eden Bluff’s Academy. It’s a school in the Bermuda Triangle with human elemental hybrids. She is not sure of anything anymore and on top of that, there is an invisible veil between dimensions that someone is trying to destroy. It’s up to Halsey to stop them. The author really has an unlimited amount of fantasy. The story is so interesting, there are many plot twists and unexpected things happen all the time. The world-building is really fun to read and I loved the characters. I also liked that there are some links to her other series, First Bloods. I haven’t read it, so I know it’s not necessary to read it before this series. But it makes me even more curious to read the other series. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes to read fantasy with great world-building, some action and some romance. I can’t wait to read the other books!

I’ve been reading Tracy Korn’s books for a few years now and I am always amazed at what she comes up with. The beginning seemed a little hard because I wasn’t quite sure what to expect and where the story was going to go. As I kept reading new things kept happening to Halsey that seemed crazy and I always wondered what would happen next. I really enjoyed the whole concept of the story and I can’t wait to see where the rest of the series goes. The concept of the series is one that I never would have though of being in a book series. If you’re looking for something that exceeds your expectations this is the book to read. If you haven’t read any of her other books I recommend reading her books.
Poor Halsey … the book starts with a full day of disaster after disaster, with no end in sight. With such a beginning, it will take a miracle for her to survive the day, if not the whole book!

This book grabbed me from page one. I loved the characters especially Halsey and Max. The story is intriguing and keeps you guessing what’s going to happen next or more accurately what Halsey is going to do next. I won’t drop any spoilers but that twist….. I was so mad!! Waiting patiently for the next book. Good read!
Poisoned garden is the next book in the series. It was so intriguing and I couldn’t put it down. This part of the story fills in a lot of missing information from the previous books. Halsey and Max hopefully reappear in the nest book as I feel that there is unleft story for them yet to be told. I also think that Leo is going to fight for a chance to be with Halsey but unfortunately, I can only hope. I am so drawn to this story and cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.
