The Final Formula (The Final Formula Series, Book 1)
Publisher Description
To a master alchemist like Addie, impossible is just another word for challenge. When a fiery explosion destroys the Alchemica, the premier alchemy institute in the United States, she’s left with nothing. No home, no colleagues, and no memory. Learning what happened seems impossible, but she still has one strength, and in her opinion, it’s the only one she needs. She hasn’t forgotten a thing about alchemy.
Addie brews a potion to restore her lost past, but remembers only the flames of the Alchemica’s destruction—and a man among the ashes. A man with the elemental power of fire, who just happens to be the leader of the magical community. He might know what happened, but getting him to tell her will require some…creativity. The magical aren’t fond of alchemists. Some say it borders on hatred, but Addie isn’t one to back down from a challenge, even if that challenge happens to be a man who can turn her to ash with a thought.
Customer Reviews
The Final Formula
Fun, fast, with all the goodies fantasy readers like, it is well-paced and a delightful read.
Main protagonist is a sassy, fun, strong lady with vulnerabilities she hides with wit and sarcasm, as do all of us intelligent strong women, but the right people can get to her without doing damage.
I liked it a lot and will read more from this author when I get a chance to do so.
Gripping
Loved it! Was SO excited when I found out this is from a series! I promptly went out and bought the whole set. :)
Not for young readers as there is some sexual content, but it wasn't over the top or distasteful like other books I've read.
Good
I really liked this book but a couple of things confused me. Things like if Addie made the final formula shouldn't she have five tattoos on her arm like the grandmaster. Not four like she has. The air element when they restored her also said Addie saved her. Other than those two things it was really good.
