Currently Reading: The Accidental Alchemist


This is another library find. As soon as I read the description, I really wanted to read it. The description also reminds me of two other series: A Witchcraft Mystery by Juliet Blackwell and Bewitching Mystery by Madelyn Alt.


Book: The Accidental Alchemist by Gigi Pandian

Source: Library

Description:

When Zoe Faust -- herbalist, alchemist, and recent transplant to Portland, Oregon -- begins unpacking her bags, she can't help but notice she's picked up a stow away: a living, breathing, three-and-half-foot gargoyle. Dorian Robert-Houdin is no simple automaton, nor is he a homunculus; in fact, he needs Zoe's help to decipher a centuries-old text that explains exactly what he is. Zoe, who's trying to put her alchemical life behind her, isn't so sure she can help. But after a murder victim is discovered on her front porch, Zoe realized she's tangled up in ancient intrigue that can't be ignored.

Includes recipes!
