Another good mystery from Gigi Pandian, full of incredibly interesting, colourful characters set in a richly detailed historical backdrop. The main story takes place in present day Portland but an alternating timeline from the mid-1800's is woven throughout the chapters and an Author's Note at the ...
“This is why alchemy exists,” the boy said. “So that everyone will search for his treasure, find it, and then want to be better than he was in his former life. Lead will play its role until the world has no further need for lead; and then lead will have to turn itself into gold. That’s what alchemis...
Pandian has an ingenious concept here! She really does. I think this was one of the more original and creative mysteries I've read in a while. A 400 year old vegan herbalist and alchemist, Zoe, and a living French gargoyle chef, Dorian, are the two main characters. They are likeable, fun and they bo...
Halfway through this one I was thinking 3/3.5 stars because the beginning, the premise, was far-fetched, even for a cozy series that has a strong Indiana Jones feel to it.

Thanks Henery Press and Net Gallery for this free e-galley in exchange for an honest review. This was an easy read and pretty fast paced. I loved the locale of France and I have pinned a picture of Mont St. Michelle on Pinterest so that certainly added to my enjoyment. Finding out who was the "real ...
I like the style of this series. An armchair adventurer with an interest in history and culture will get their desires well satiated as they accompany Jaya on her adventures. To anyone who is a Francophile, look no further.Reviewed for Affaire de Coeur Magazine for the March 2015 issue. http://affai...
2.5 starsIn the beginning, I thought this book had a VERY interesting premise. Zoe Faust, a 300+ year old alchemist is just about trying to settle down in Portland, Oregon, after wondering around for years. When she is about to unpack her things, she discovers a gargoyle inside one of her crates. Th...
