Maria V. Snyder's Poison Study
I love Snyder and her characters. She is an intelligent author that writes fun stories. It's the first book in her Study series. All of the books were good, but this one was my favorite. I love the dynamics between Valek, Yelena, Ari, and Janco.
The story is about Yelena, a girl who has been charged with murder after killing the man who raped her. According to the laws of Ixia, she is to be executed despite the reasoning behind her murder. However, the law also states that if the royal food taster dies, the next in line to be executed is given the opportunity to choose to replace them. After taking the position, Yelena must learn how to tell if food has been poisoned. She begins to study under Valek, an assassin who purposely poisons her. She's constantly watching out for foods being poisoned, her rapists' father trying to have her killed, and trying to find ways to escape her fate.
