This month’s pick is The Poisoner by I.V. Ophelia
The Lost Apothecary meets Gothikana in this intoxicating Victorian gothic romance about a botanist who poisons wicked men—and the target whose arrival upends everything she thinks she knows. “Have you ever wondered how long it would take for a lethal dose of arsenic to kill you? Thirty-five hours, twenty-nine minutes, and fifteen seconds. I should know. I counted myself.”
In the gaslit streets of London, Alina Lis dispenses her own brand of justice—until conceited playboy Silas Forbes, her latest intended victim, turns up alive in her apothecary. Their tense, magnetic connection sparks rumors in high society even as something far more dangerous brews in the shadows.
As hidden identities surface and enemies close in, Alina and Silas must decide whether their dark bond will destroy them—or pull them irresistibly together.
