Review: The Final Formula (The Final Formula #1) by Becca Andre

5 stars for The Final Formula (The Final Formula book 1) by Becca Andre.

I have been reading at a snail's pace of late. It has nothing to do with the writing of the book on hand but everything to do with - for lack of a better word - distractions. For a start, there is the beta reading, then ten days of vacationing in Hokkaido, Japan and finally, my watching of the 2018 FIFA World Cup matches.

I have always wanted to read this book but somehow or other, I never get down to it until my recent flight to Hokkaido. Even then, I did not achieve much reading of this urban fantasy novel in the air as my focus is on completing the beta read.

Come to think of it, I should really have made the effort to read this book earlier. It is good. Very good in fact. It has a beginning that appeals to me, an ending that tugs at my heartstrings, and in between these two, there is alchemy, necromancy, magic and elementary forces (fire, air, water, earth), all of which serve to bring out the best mix of science, fantasy, romance, mystery, suspense, and action to produce the very formula in The Final Formula.

So, what is this Final Formula exactly? Well, go grab a copy of this e-book now while it is still available for free download, and unravel the greatest mystery of all time.

@}--->>--->>-----

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.
