"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)

The book is a great addition to the series! Can't say enough good things about the narration by Julia Motyka. Her accents are many and really help paint the story. Not all narrators can pull off accents or even try, but Julia does French to Texan with ease. Story line is good and it was nice to revisit all the characters. Dorian the sassy French gargoyle is a favorite.

Narration is fantastic!

I was so excited to learn that another Accidental Alchemist’s book had come out, I went back and listened to the entire series again. I had forgotten how much I loved Dorian and his quirky attitude and amazing vegan cooking.
Julia Motyka is outstanding with her variety of character voices. I enjoy the characters even more with her portrayal of the various accents.
I hope there are more books to come in this series as the relationships grow and the adventures continue.

Great Continuing the Story

Wait a minute - this isn't a trilogy? I thought the big plot point was wrapped up in the third novel. Well, it looks like this series could go on indefinitely, and books 4.5 and 5 are apparently written - I hope they will come out on Audible sometime. I still enjoy the series and will definitely continue with it - it just doesn't feel the same as the first one or two in the series.

Good
