In the Poison Diaries series, Jessamine Luxton tastes the poisons of loneliness, temptation, secrets, betrayal, and, yes, even love. So what's your poison?

Take the quiz to find out what your poison says about you. Then read The Poison Diaries and The Poison Diaries: Nightshade to see how the many poisons of life infect—and inspire—Jessamine.


1. You've got an afternoon to yourself with no one around to keep tabs on you. What do you do?
Pamper yourself. These things take time—looks as good as yours need some upkeep!
Perfect your plan to catch your man. You know you can charm him (after all, you're gorgeous)—he'll be powerless to resist you.
Find your friends—you don't like being on your own for too long. In fact, they'll probably be round any minute trying to find you.
Chill out and read a book. You enjoy having some quiet time, but your friends always seem to end up intruding. Do they have to see you all the time?

2. What's your party style?
Sexy chic. You've got your eye on a new slinky, low-cut satin dress ... only problem is it's only on sale in Milan....
Vintage glamour. You've just got a full length, backless, sparkly gold number from a vintage shop—nobody will have eyes for anyone except you.
Bold, strong colors. You don't care if they're fashionable or not—you and your friends are perfectly happy to do your own thing.
Quietly understated. Your friends will hang out with you whatever you wear, so what's the point of spending time and cash going out to get some new party dress?

3. Everyone has a special spot. In Alnwick Castle's poison garden, your spot is:
A shady part where you'll get a good view of the rest of the garden ... you need time to take it all in.
Along the path, where you can admire others (and be admired yourself).
The entire garden—you'd be happy anywhere in it.
A private area by the wall where you can lean on it and relax.

4. Your favorite color is:
Purple
Yellow
Red
Green

5. When it comes to secrets you:
Have enough of your own that you can't be bothered with anyone else's.
Can't be bothered to keep other people's ... but if anyone spills yours, there will be trouble!
Try to keep them but often can't help whispering them to others. They're just so much fun....
Protect your own and (when necessary) use others' to your own advantage.

6. The movie star you most relate to is:
Penelope Cruz
Angelina Jolie
Scarlett Johansson
Michelle Williams

7. The thing your friends like least about you is:
You're hot-headed
You're always trying to get your own way
You're a bit of a show-off
You can be manipulative

8. Your friends' favorite thing about you is:
Your spirit—beautiful yet mysterious
You're good to have around in an argument—you're bound to diffuse the situation
You're fun and can get along with anyone
You draw people towards you without even trying
