Book Review of 'An Ode to Poison' by Lisa E. Betz

Happy Monday Bookworms!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I got to spend some time with my youngest son as well as some alone time while my husband was out with friends all weekend. It was nice but I felt a bit lonely, as I'm sure we all do when our partners aren't with us. That's what I love about books, they're always there, and they make you feel like you've got a friend when you're fighting loneliness.

One book that I was able to get lost in was the novel I'm featuring today. I hope you enjoy my thoughts on this Historical Mystery and don't forget to scroll to the bottom of this post and enter the amazing giveaway from JustRead Tours!

About the Book

Title: An Ode to Poison
Series: Livia Aemilia Mysteries #3
Author: Lisa E. Betz
Publisher: Breakthrough Christian Publishing
Release Date: October 21, 2024
Genre: Historical Mystery

What do death by poison, a ruthless senator, and a poetry party have in common? 

They combine to draw Livia Aemilia into her most dangerous investigation yet. She must risk setting foot in the house of her worst enemy, Senator Tiberius Gracchus, to investigate the death of his wife. (Don’t worry, she has a plan.) 

The victim’s sister is convinced Gracchus is the killer. If so, proving his guilt in Rome’s law courts could put a stop to his nefarious threats forever. 

Livia is sure this investigation is God’s plan to protect her family from their malicious enemy. And maybe it will finally convince her husband Avitus that God is real. 

The more Livia and Avitus dig, the more it looks like they will finally bring Gracchus to justice. Until another victim is poisoned, and everything they think they know is turned upside down.

Book Review of 'I'll Be Home' by Sara Davison, Darlene L. Turner, Helena Smrcek, and Melanie Stevenson

Happy November Bookworms!

I can't believe the holiday season has officially begun!  I hope that everyone had a safe and happy Halloween yesterday.  Our family tradition is to stay home, watch movies, and eat candy, which is exactly what we did, and it was wonderful!  I'm fighting a pretty bad cold, so it was exactly what I needed.  To me, as soon as Halloween is over is when the holiday season kicks off.  I decorate even more for fall and this kicks off my holiday reading for the season, so get ready for more holiday goodness!

To kick of the festivities, I have another Christmas anthology to feature so I hope you enjoy this Contemporary Christmas Anthology and don't forget to scroll to the bottom of this post and enter the amazing giveaway from JustRead Tours!

About the Book

Title: I'll Be Home
Authors: Sara Davison, Darlene L. Turner, Helena Smrcek, & Melanie Stevenson
Publisher: Independent (Fab Four Press)
Release Date: October 29, 2024
Genre: Contemporary Christmas anthology

With chaos and confusion all around them, can they find their way home this Christmas? 

The people in these four stories are all searching for something—an escaped convict, a job promotion from a love interest, connection to a lost parent, answers across time. 

Christmas should be a time of wonder and celebration, but the obstacles each faces seem insurmountable. Even, at times, life-threatening. 

Perhaps they will find what they are seeking during this season of miracles and hope. Or maybe, with God’s help, they will discover that the longing of their hearts takes them to places—and people—they didn’t even know they’d been searching for.  

I’ll Be Home is a collection of four stories of faith, hope, love, (and trains) that will warm your heart, encourage your soul, and draw you home this Christmas.
