Review: The Blood Alchemist (The Final Formula #2) by Becca Andre

4 stars for The Blood Alchemist (The Final Formula book 2) by Becca Andre.

How do you right a wrong? To Addie, the most brilliant alchemical mind of our time, the answer lies with The Final Formula. With that, much of this story still revolves around The Final formula and its unique properties.

I will not say that I enjoy this book through and through seeing that certain characters that get on my nerves - such as the three Huntsman brothers - keep making their appearances, so much so that I am prepared to down my rating of this book to 3 stars.

However, in the end, the Lich King, Ian, convinces me to change my mind. Yes, I like the character of Ian Mallory much more than that of the Flame Lord, Rowan. There is absolutely no doubt about it. For this reason, I am really pleased to find, at the end of The Blood Alchemist, an entire short story dedicated to Ian and Addie.

In fact, this book is a steal because it comes with not one but two bonus short story, The Lich's Lab and A Christmas Formula, both of which are very well written and leave me wanting for more at the end of it all.

Master alchemist Addie Daulton hasn’t always done the right thing. To atone for sins from her forgotten past, and earn back the respect of the people she loves, she decides to show the world that alchemy can be used for good. For healing. But she can’t do anything without a lab. Desperate, she teams up with a new partner whose lab has everything she needs, but does she dare work with a man whose reputation is even darker than her own?

The risk proves worth it when she lands a contract to make burn salve for a local hospital. Things are looking up until Rowan, the leader of the magical community and her former lover, returns and demands her assistance. The magical are being gunned down, and cryptic messages are being left at the murder scenes. Messages that point a finger at alchemy—and her. The connection begins to make sense when she discovers that the bullets from the crime scenes have been altered with blood alchemy—and that the design is her own.

Working with Rowan won’t be easy, not just because of their lost love, but because her new business partner once tried to kill him. If Rowan finds out who he really is, Addie’s involvement in the investigation will be over. She can’t let Rowan shut her out again. Not when he might be the killer’s next target.
