Poison, 9 Feb 2009
By M. Nix "Joyfully Reviewed" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Poison (Kindle Edition)
Much to his mother's dismay, Tobias Smator is not interested in becoming the next Lord, he's happy to leave that privilege to his cousins. But someone wants it badly, badly enough to kill for it, as Tobias found out first hand when he was poisoned and his cousin Serge was knifed to death. Saved by Geln Marac, Tobias finds himself drawn to the stranger who saved his life, wanting to know more about him.
Arel, alias Geln Marac is on his first undercover assignment. The magnitude of the assignment eluded his scope, at first, when he finds himself a hero and a suspect in a murder plot. To keep the Alliance he works for safe Geln Marac resorts to temporary memory loss leaving himself an amnesiac, and needing to trust in Tobias for both their safety.
Poison is a multifaceted Sci-Fi story. It's a very involving and one that I couldn't put down until I completed it. This story incorporates a lot more than romance. There are rules of society that are obeyed and how one set of people is held superior even in a future society. Joely Skye has great talent for writing Sci-Fi and mixing it with an interesting romance of two men who need each other for survival and not just sex. Sci-Fi lovers and Joely Skye fans will not be disappointed with this story, in fact it will leave them wanting more.

Disappointing- Don't bother.., 2 Oct 2009
By SteveK - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Poison (Paperback)
Is this the abridged version of some epic intergalactic gay romance? (Some editor running amok?)
This is the Cliffs notes of a potentially really good story.
I highly recommend Ms. Skye's other books; there all great, but skip this one.

not poisonous but not healing either, 29 April 2010
By amf0001 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Poison (Paperback)
I went on a Joely Skye binge and read 5 or 6 of her books in a row, which is probably more than any author can bear! I loved her spin on werewolves, and was completely in that world and perhaps that is one reason why transitioning to alien cultures was difficult for me, but I never really got into this book at all. The characters felt underwritten, the culture/world building wasn't rich enough. I didn't really understand why the two main characters related to each other as they did; it seemed all based on impulse and propinquity. There are such fabulously dense and clever fantasy out there, and this didn't rate higher than ok for me. However, the werewolves are worth visiting, she's written quite a few keepers for me, so this is a pass without prejudice :)
If you want a really excellent book on a simliar there, try Elizabeth Bear's Carnival, that's a master work!
