    Fantastic bookstore. Presence of The Father is in there. Gloria was awesome. We were just driving around found it went to see hours 40 min until it opened. Gloria open doors for us. I found some anointing oil I needed. Started talking, listening to what Father was doing or wanting to do. we prayed for her back, and leg was uneven.Holy Spirit power grew her leg out. An amazingly blessed morning. Thank you Jesus for leading us there and meeting Gloria. Jo and jim

    Vision Quest was my gateway drug into all things WooWoo. Back when it was on Scottsdale Road, I…read morewandered in and basically fell headfirst into crystals, incense, and candles like some kind of spiritual Alice in Wonderland. It was my first real intro to this world, and honestly, it launched me into the practices that are now just... my life. So yes, Vision Quest and I go way back. Then, like any long-term relationship, the shine wore off. I started hearing whispers in school about them not clearing the space, and once I noticed it myself, the vibe felt a little off. Combine that with discovering other shops that had better prices and fresh energy? Yeah, I strayed. Cut to tonight: my go-to WooWoo dealer (aka my favorite candle spot) was CLOSED. Dire situation. My altar was looking at me like, "You really gonna let me go dark?" So, I dragged myself over to Vision Quest. And you know what? The whole vibe felt different... lighter, fresher, like someone saged the place within an inch of its life. I actually caught myself thinking, "Wait, why did I stop coming here again?" Candles acquired. Yes, they were a whopping 50¢ instead of my usual 30¢ (so, call me thrifty), and the wax felt like it came from a slightly less fancy bee or paraffin farm. But in an emergency? Totally did the job. And so, Vision Quest is like that ex you bump into years later and think, "Huh... maybe they got their act together." I may not be back every week, but I'm definitely glad it's still around when the WooWoo emergencies hit.

    Had my aura read today and it was fabulous. I love Theresa and I really enjoyed her explaining so…read moremuch to me about the store and what they offer. I plan on returning when I actually have more time today was just to explore a new awakening. I WOULD RECOMMEND

    Found this place on Yelp and have been meaning to visit. Had the day off & decided to check it out!…read more Their emphasis is on the thriller/mystery genre and it did not disappoint. Enormous selection, friendly staff and a lot of amazing staff picks which I had not heard of before. Lots of parking places adjacent to the shop and it's hot such quaint, cozy decor. In addition to the mystery / thriller genre, you'll find a lot of signed editions & 1st editions, too. Pricing is on par with most any other local book store. In a world full of Barnes & Nobles, we need more Poisoned Pens. If you're an avid reader, you owe it to yourself to check this place out.

    I pass this charming little independent, local bookstore, Poisoned Pen Bookstore, in Old Town…read moreScottsdale on my way to work. I took the time to stop in a few weeks ago to pick out something for my daughter's birthday. The staff is delightful and incredibly helpful. They specialize in mystery, crime, thrillers, fantasy, & fiction, with several autographed first editions (including a hardcover copy of Twilight I noticed behind the glass doors of a small bookcase). There's a featured Diana Gabaldon section with everything Outlander-related you can think of including Scottish cocktail and cookbooks. They have a few very cool book clubs, including the Hardboiled book club, Croak and Dagger book club, and Sci-Fi book club. They also have author readings and signings often. You can attend these events by Zoom if you don't want to come in person. Their website has an extensive calendar and list of all activities and events. You can also join their mailing list and receive emails which I did at the counter. My first trip in I got several classic books and some ACOTAR books for my daughter that she had on her list. I also got a few fun ones from a special Jane Austen table set up near the front entrance. My daughter wanted to return to check out the selection a few weeks later and ended up getting additional classics, including Dostoevsky, and an anime tarot card pack. There's also a small selection of journals, literary themed merchandise and socks, and a small beverage case for drinks. Restroom for customers inside.

    Nice store. Lots of old books, nor much new. But if you want something likely out of print this is…read morethe place. Inside has lots of stuff to look at, maps etc.

    Okay, so here's the lowdown: this bookstore is kind of a love-hate situation for me. On one hand,…read moreI'm not really into the old books themselves -- like, the stories and info inside don't always grab me, and sometimes they feel outdated or just not my thing. But on the flip side, the whole atmosphere of the place is chef's kiss for anyone who vibes with that old-school charm. The shelves are packed with leather-bound books that look like they've got stories in their covers alone. The texture and smell of those vintage leather bindings? Pure magic. If you're someone who loves that sort of musty, nostalgic scent that only time and dust can create, this place is basically a treasure trove. It's like stepping into a cozy library from another era, where every book feels like a mini relic. So yeah, if you're not fussed about the content but totally into the aesthetic -- the look, the feel, the smell -- you'll probably fall hard for this spot. But if you want fresh pages and modern reads, maybe it's not your vibe. Still, for anyone who's into the tactile, sensory side of books -- that old leather smell, the slightly rough feel of aged paper, the aura of history -- this bookstore is a whole mood, no cap.
