Perfectly Toxic by Kristine Mason
MY FRIDAY 56
When the old woman turned away, he stared at the back of her gray head. If he were a different man, the mad scientist the press had claimed him to be, he’d sic Adeline on Gramma and give new meaning to the Big Bad Wolf.
A tap at his shoulder had him flinching. He quickly turned and glared at Adeline. “How long have you been here?” he asked.

MY BOOK BEGINNINGS
“I THINK I broke her.”
(The first sentence of the book)
If you aren’t already freaked out enough, read the synopsis.
Go ahead. I dare ya! Then continue down for a chance at a $5GC.
SYNOPSIS
What do you get when you mix a mad scientist, a psychopath, an ice cream lady and a repo man? Something perfectly toxic…
Melanie Scarlet is a knife-wielding badass who knows how to dispose of a body, and make evidence disappear. But Mel, a.k.a., the Ice Cream Lady, draws the line at one thing: she refuses to live with her husband, Cash Maddox, unless he quits the repo business that nearly got him killed—no matter how much she loves him.
To thaw Mel’s heart and convince her to leave the Everglades and move back home to Tallahassee, Cash is finally ready to retire from his adrenaline-fueled job…until homeless men begin vanishing. As Mel investigates the disappearances, Cash’s temper goes into overdrive when he realizes his wife has been keeping a dangerous secret from him. She’s been doing more than scooping ice cream—she’s a cleaner for the underground criminal investigation agency, Above the Law.
Mel isn’t the only one with a secret. A scientist has created a drug that will cure psychopaths by deadening the urge to dominate, hurt and murder. To prove his chemical combination works, he uses the homeless as test subjects. He breaks and scrambles their minds, turns them into killers, then tries to fix them. But what if the scientist creates a killer he can’t fix? A true psychopath he can’t control? As Cash joins Mel and the ATL crew, they learn firsthand, the results could be…toxic.

Here’s mine: “HOUSE OF GLASS”
Nice blog design and small world… we both blogged about grandma’s minus the psychopath! 🙂
Definitely freaky!
Wow, talk about an interesting mix of characters! While the book might not be what I normally read, I would give it a chance. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Wow sounds like a crazy read! The beginning definitely has be curious about just how literal the she and the broken parts are. Enjoy the read!
For a second I thought Adeline was a dog or maybe a wolf. Hope you have a great weekend!
This sounds really good!
Pretty intriguing snippets. I’d like to find out about book 1!
Happy weekend!
Beautiful opening! It makes you wonder if they mean physically (like a broken spine), mentally, or spiritually. Has this woman cracked and gone insane?! Who knows? I’d want to read on 🙂
Have a great day,
