My Review

This is an encouraging novel showing the strength of women. What a devastating situation each of the three women finds herself in. They are forced together under very unusual circumstances. The novel illustrates, no matter how difficult situation, “women who pull together can overcome anything to create positive futures.” (2873/3422)

Nichols' writing style is clear and easy to follow. She creates a very good picture of women devastated. I cannot imagine being in a situation where so much you thought good turned out to be terrible. Rather than giving up, however, they slog through each obstacle, creating a new future.

Within the story are explorations of the flawed foster system, of surviving an abusive marriage, and the true definition of family. There is also a subtle faith message but the power of surviving is attributed to the inner strength of the women, not their faith in God.

I enjoyed this novel of women surviving and thriving. And the best part is that there will be more in this series. I'll be watching for the sequel.

My rating: 4/5 stars.

More from Pat

Nestled in Chattahoochee National Forest, Southern Living Magazine named Blue Ridge, Georgia as one of 2022 South’s Best Mountain Towns. The first time my husband and I visited the town, we were impressed with the galleries, shops, Scenic Railway, and the friendly vibe. Although I was writing a series set near Savannah, the idea of Blue Ridge staring in a new series took root. When I finished writing the last book in the Butler Family series the idea had blossomed.

Another trip to the iconic town. This time to identify a setting for book one about Amanda, Erica, and Wendy, strangers who find themselves stranded in a cozy inn during a blizzard. We found the Blue Ridge Inn Bed and Breakfast. Perfect! I pressed the front-door buzzer. When I explained my mission to the woman who responded, she took my number and promised the owner would contact us. An hour later John Lavin met us on the front porch. He graciously gave us a tour and shared the 1890 Victorian home’s history.

Writing a fictional story set in a historic inn steps from the train depot and downtown Blue Ridge was inspiring. In fact, I’ve dedicated Blizzard at Blue Ridge Inn to John and guests who stay at the inn. In June, my husband and I plan to spend our anniversary in the suite reserved for Erica. We’ll ride the train and enjoy dinner at the Black Sheep restaurant, a scene in Blue Ridge series book two. By that time, book three will be finished. Then on to book four.

The Taste of Datura by Lorenzo Petruzziello Blog Tour Book Review

The Taste of Datura

by Lorenzo Petruzziello

April 2 - 26, 2024 Virtual Book Tour

Synopsis:

An alluring affair in Napoli.

Nick seeks the value of an antique bracelet in his possession. He encounters Laura, an amateur medium cursed by uncontrollable visions. With Laura’s help, Nick closes in on the origin of his treasure. But as the word gets out, the quest puts them both in danger.

A noir-inspired story ensnared by mystery, myth, and murder; all under a watchful eye shadowing Italy’s vibrant city of Napoli.

Praise for The Taste of Datura:

"A thrilling mystery that combines Italian history and international intrigue."
~ Kirkus Reviews

My Review:

This novel is an adventure that takes readers through Naples. Petruzziello excels at description and creating atmosphere. Readers will feel a real sense of being grounded in the location and activities of the characters.

Nick, the hero, was a bit of a puzzle for me. I wanted to know more about him early on, his profession and perhaps a bit of his background. He is a flawed character and doesn't seem too bright, unable to figure out related events. He is more responsive to what's below his belt than what's above his neck, getting him into trouble. He is described as “feeling a fool” (1534/3854) and admits to his own procrastination and foolishness. (1676/3854) I would have preferred a stronger hero. There were a number of interesting support characters, however, adding depth to the plot.

This is a novel for readers would who like an adventure centered around finding the meaning and value of an ancient bracelet. There is a bit of a paranormal aspect as one of the characters has revelatory visions. There is lots of action and an interesting twist near the end.

My rating: 4/5 stars.

PROLOGUE

Naples, Italy
December 1890

The crisp breeze trickled in from the bay, across the piazza, through the narrow buildings, and brushed along the back of the neck of the elderly German archaeologist. He was determined to have his afternoon walk through the Spanish Quarter. Being out of the hotel room and in the open air made him feel a lot better.

He’ll get back to Athens soon enough. Sure, he should have been celebrating the holidays, surrounded by his family and fellow archaeologists, but his health kept him from continuing on his journey. A special gift he bought in Naples was ready to be picked up, so he wanted to go get it and bring it with him to Athens. He imagined showing the piece to everyone waiting for him. If only his infection hadn’t come back, he would have been allowed to take the ship to Greece and be in Athens for Christmas as he had planned.

But being stuck in Naples was a consolation, though. While he had spent some of the time in bed recovering, he had made the most of his time until the doctors could clear him to continue on his travels. For example, he was able to return to Pompeii and examine the ruins with more detail—something one cannot do during the summer holiday with the influx of tourists crowding around.

So, he couldn’t really complain. After all, he was absolutely fine staying in the comforts of the wonderous and luxurious Grand Hotel, with its incredible view of the bay. Not a bad place to recover from his lung infection.

As Christmas was getting closer, the visits from the doctors had diminished. Of course, the old man understood doctors had families too. Besides, they did see improvement in his condition, and said they would check in on him after the holiday.

When he was feeling better, he bathed and dressed and focused his time on visiting the artifacts in the museums of Naples, including that excursion to museum and ruins of Pompeii. On Christmas Day, however, the museums were closed, so the old man had agreed to participate in the hotel’s abundant holiday lunch with other guests. The staff were kind enough to understand his condition and seat him alone at a private table, so he didn’t risk getting anyone else sick.

After the meal, he had decided to take a walk to the church. A young concierge procured the old man a driver as he helped him put on his coat and handed him his gloves and hat.

As he walked across the front gardens and onto the main street along the bay, the old man greeted the staff and some of the other guests he had met while he was stuck recovering in the hotel. He looked at the water, took a deep breath, and allowed the crisp, salty air to fill his lungs, immediately feeling the renowned healing powers of the Mediterranean Sea.

He turned away from the bay and crossed back to the car that was waiting to take him to Piazza Plebiscito. It was not his destination, but he figured he’d take a walk to the church he had in mind. He was somewhat familiar with the area, but not enough to take himself directly to the church. It was not a problem, though, he knew he’d find it strolling around.

He asked the driver to return in a couple of hours, then walked across the round piazza, onto Via Toledo. Halfway up the climbing street, he felt his body become weaker than his ambition. He forced himself to slow his steps as he continued his climb.

He paused at a shop window and admired the Christmas decorations. Really, he felt his heartbeat racing and needed to catch his breath. He needed to rest. He examined the miniature figurines displayed in a religious scene, finally presented with the miracle baby they had been eagerly awaiting. Ignoring the reflection of his old face staring back at him, he looked away and saw a clearing further ahead.

Deducing it to be another piazza, he would rest at a café and sort out his route to the church. He gathered his strength and continued on. He reached piazza Santa Caritá and looked around for any open café. He felt the space spinning as he turned and turned. His head felt numb, the sounds around him were garbled, as if underwater. He blinked heavily before everything turned to black…

The Party Crasher by Joshua Ryan Butler Book Review

About the Book:

Have you noticed a deeper level of political division in your community or church? If so, you’re not alone. This powerful, accessible book exposes the religious nature of modern political movements and how they compete with faithfulness to Christ.

Rather than retreat from the political realm, The Party Crasher will help you understand the politics of our age and equip you with the wisdom to faithfully navigate them. Key takeaways include:

• How to develop a Christian posture for political life and promote unity in the church.
• When to be bold.
• How to identify and repent from our political idols.
• How the way we worship can help us avoid division.

This is not a book about putting politics aside, it’s a book about putting politics in their place so that we might be better disciples of Jesus in whichever party or place we find ourselves.

You can watch the book trailer here.

My Review:

Like many, I feel uncomfortable with either major U.S. political party. Butler explains the political creeds and political religions and idols involved. Being devoted to a political ideology competes with allegiance to Christ. “Politics has become the new religion,” he says. (588/3309)

After describing the values driving the political division today, Butler gives suggestions for Christian political involvement, such as being peacemakers. We are to follow the way of Jesus and do justice, show mercy, and walk humbly with our God. Christians can be involved in politics but it is not to be everything. If your side loses, God is still in charge. I really like his distinction between leanings and bowing. We have political leanings but we only bow to God.

There are reflective questions at the end of each chapter and additional Discussion Questions at the end. This would be a good book for a Sunday School class or small group to read and discuss. Here is an example of the thought provoking ideas Butler suggests: Do you pay more attention to political pundits than to the word of Scripture? How about re-prioritizing the reading of Scripture?

Christians are not going to fit into this world system. Jesus wants us to embrace the weirdness of His kingdom. (1745/3309) “Let's keep Christianity weird,” he suggests. (2544/3309) Let's show the world the Christlike people we are becoming.

My rating: 4/5 stars.

My Review

This is another touching novel by Carr. She knows how to tug at our heart strings and here she does so through exploring what family means. We readers find ourselves in a very supportive community where people are quick to help each other and consider newcomers as part of an extended family. An exploration of the foster system is part of the strong message of the meaning of family, that it is not necessarily blood relation.

The focus of the novel centers on the characters while the mystery takes a back seat. Jess is an interesting person in that she is very sensitive and can detect information from a person's subconscious micro-expressions and body language. My favorite characters were the young boys, especially the nonstop talking Colton.

The novel is written in alternating first person narratives, from Jess' and Mark's viewpoints. The chapters are clearly identified but one can be temporarily confused if reading is interrupted mid-chapter. It is not my favorite writing style.

I liked this touching novel of relationships and family. It is the second in a series but reads well on its own. I would recommend reading the first book, No Matter What, to fully enjoy this one. (You can read my review of it here.) We are definitely set up at the end of this book for a sequel and I will be watching for it.

My rating: 4/5 stars.

More from Jennifer

The Lost and Found is the second book of the No Matter What series but can be read as a standalone. I needed to make sure my characters were happy and healthy after their adventures in the book one so the day I sent No Matter What to my editor, I started writing The Lost and Found.

I love to bake and when I was pregnant with our daughter, I craved all things sweet. One of the characters in the book has a similar craving so I created a recipe for her to enjoy. I’d love to share it with you.

Leave No Trace by A J Landau Book Review

About the Book:

In a daring, brutal act of terrorism, an explosion rocks and topples the Statue of Liberty. Special Agent Michael Walker of the National Park Service is awakened by his boss with that news and sent to New York as the agent-in-charge. Not long after he lands, he learns two things - one that Gina Delgado of the FBI has been placed in charge of the investigation as the lead of the Joint Terrorism Task Force and two, that threats of a second terrorism attack are already being called into the media. While barred from the meetings of the Joint Task Force for his lack of security clearance, Walker finds a young boy among the survivors with a critical piece of information - a video linking the attackers to the assault.

As a radical domestic terrorist group, led by a shadowy figure known only as Jeremiah, threatens further attacks against America's cultural symbols, powerful forces within the government are misleading the investigation to further their own radical agenda.

My Review:

I like this thriller set in the context of attacks on national parks. It involves militia type groups coming together under a leader determined to take over the country. The January 2021 Capitol overrun was perhaps just a dress rehearsal. Identifying and stopping the domestic terrorists is difficult because high levels of government have been infiltrated.

There is nearly continuous action in this thriller. The action comes at a good pace, balanced with information about national parks. I liked the park settings and prolific background information and description. I also liked the unique bomb techniques, many I have never heard of before.

This is a good thriller with likable characters and lots of action. It will appeal to readers who enjoyed novels like the series featuring Anna Pigeon by Nevada Barr.

My rating: 4/5 stars.

The Rumor Game by Thomas Mullen Book Review

About the Book:

A determined reporter and a reluctant FBI agent face off against fascist elements in this gripping historical thriller set in World War II-era Boston.

Reporter Anne Lemire writes the Rumor Clinic, a newspaper column that disproves the many harmful rumors floating around town, some of them spread by Axis spies and others just gossip mixed with fear and ignorance. Tired of chasing silly rumors about Rosie Riveters' safety on the job, she wants to write about something bigger.

Special Agent Devon Mulvey, one of the few Catholics at the FBI, spends his weekdays preventing industrial sabotage and his Sundays spying on clerics with suspect loyalties—and he spends his evenings wooing the many lonely women whose husbands are off at war.

When Anne’s story about Nazi propaganda intersects with Devon’s investigation into the death of a factory worker, the two are led down a dangerous trail of espionage, organized crime, and domestic fascism—one that implicates their own tangled pasts and threatens to engulf the city in violence.

My Review:

I had a hard time getting into this novel. It started off very slowly as the two characters are introduced in seemingly unrelated activities. I didn't like Devon from the beginning. He is not the kind of man I appreciate as a hero. Anne was more attractive to me, tracing rumors to their source and disproving them. Some were just rather silly but some had roots in anti-war feelings. That aspect of the novel is similar to the disinformation promoted today.

This is the first book I had read by Mullen. The atmosphere of the era was presented well, especially the prejudice towards Jews. I can tell a great deal of research went into the book and I appreciate the Author's Note and the end identifying aspects of the novel based on historical fact. I thought the novel rather uninspiring, however, and not compelling. The plot moved slowly and I found myself skimming after a while.

This novel would be of interest to readers who enjoy books centered on WW II.

My rating: 3/5 stars.

About the Author:

THOMAS MULLEN is the internationally bestselling author of eight novels, including Darktown, an NPR Best Book, which was shortlisted for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the Southern Book Prize, the Indies Choice Book Award, and was nominated for or won prizes in France, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The follow-up, Lightning Men, was named one of the Top Ten Crime Novels of 2017 by The New York Times and was shortlisted for a CWA Dagger Award. His debut, The Last Town on Earth, was named Best Debut Novel of 2006 by USA Today and was awarded the James Fenimore Cooper Prize for excellence in historical fiction.

My Review:

This is an entertaining novel for high school age readers. Goodwin uses the background of recurring earthquakes to explore a number of issues of interest to youth. There is a runaway, fleeing an unhappy home situation. There are young people who face great loss and must deal with grief. There is even a bit about being over weight and quite a bit about climate change. There are some good lessons about relationships and restoring them too.

Perhaps the best part of the book is how the young people rise up to help the community in the throes of disaster. Some exercise leadership skills while others show compassion for those in need. Even adults get in the act, inspired by the passion of the young people.

Goodwin has added good discussion questions and even some project ideas so this would be a good choice for a teen book group. It would also be of interest to high school students active in drama and the arts.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
