Jennifer’s Review of The Accidental Alchemist

Review (3.5 Stars): The Accidental Alchemist was an intriguing mystery for me due to the fact that Zoe was an alchemist and had experienced so much history in her life.  I loved that she chose Portland as the place to call home after so many years of searching and a place where she could finally be accepted.  I also liked having Dorian,the french chef gargoyle, be a main character in this mystery and he was a wonderful addition to the storyline.  The pacing of the book was slow at times but I still found The Accidental Alchemist to be an enjoyable and light-hearted paranormal mystery. I’m interested in learning more about Zoe and Dorian in future installments of this series.
