Publisher: Viking Penguin Page Count: 579 Fiction Genre: Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Paranormal, Romance Dates Read: September 24-26, 2015 Summary Diane cares more about her academic research than she cares about her ability to conjure up magic, and who can blame her whens he has spent her whole life believing that it was magic that killed her parents. Now Diane is living in England as a normal human. She spends most of her time on her current research project, Alchemy, the closest she will get to even thinking about magic. Unbeknownst to her, she awakens a long forgotten, very powerful Alchemy book that is going to change her and her world. Review This book started out okay, but I lost all interest once Harkness introduced the romantic element of this story. To begin with, I felt that character development was not Harkness's strong suit, and emotions, thoughts, feelings, and actions of the characters were not convincing. Diane was probably the most developed character, and it was in a very surface kind of way. This book was just ridiculous, even for a paranormal romance. The most laughable moment of the book was when Diane falls in love with the mysterious Matthew Clairmont (a vampire) while they are in the middle of doing yoga together. HA!
