Summary
"Surprising plot twists, several cliffhangers, and vivid magical imagery will keep fans of paranormal cozies turning the pages." (Publishers Weekly)
The latest alchemical adventure from Gigi Pandian, USA Today best-selling author and winner of the Agatha Award
Centuries-old alchemist Zoe Faust is tired of running from her past. She's finally got her life on track in Portland, Oregon, gardening and cooking in her fixer-upper house with her mischievous best friend, Dorian the gargoyle chef. It seems like the perfect life for Zoe, until she discovers that her old mentor Nicolas Flamel, who she thought had abandoned her, has been imprisoned.
A local artist holds the secret that could lead Zoe to her mentor, but the artist is murdered and the painting containing the hidden clue is stolen. To rescue Nicolas, Zoe and Dorian must explore art forgery, a transformative process that has much in common with alchemy and cooking - but one that proves far more dangerous.
"Sparkles most when it stays true to the wonder of its magical subject." (Foreword Reviews)

Superb book, well written and enjoyable
I love these books and quickly became addicted to the series. Good characterisation and story telling are the basis of a good book and this series has it down to a fine art. Dorian is a interesting and fun character that you can easily see yourself befriending. Follow the series, you’ll be glad you did.

Loving this series more & More!
Who'dda thunk murder over and over again following Zoe would be "entertaining" but here we are! Made even better by Dorian. I love this little character with a huge personality. Honestly, the only thing I wish is that Zoe either comes out and tells Max the truth or she kicks him to the curb. I can't stand him.He doesn't trust her and every other word out of his mouth is he can help her find a shrink. His sister, Mina has only met her twice and trusts what Zoe has told her. I hope Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel continue into the next book.

Very Enjoyable
Read in a relaxed and most appropriate tone which matches the feel of the text and the story matter. Stories are a mix of modern day crime thriller and fantasy alchemy blended seamlessly into a very easy listening, enjoyable set of stories. I have been unexpectedly hooked and have binge listened to the first four books. Bring on more please.

A very good story, excellently performed
Hugely enjoyable. Imaginative. creates a world where alchemy exists, and its good points and bad are well worked through. Dorian is a great character.
