Alchemy of Secrets
Alchemy of Secrets | Stephanie Garber
10 posts | 2 read | 2 reading | 4 to read
It starts with a class in an old movie theater. Folklore 517: Local Legends and Urban Myths, taught by a woman called the Professor. Most students believe the Professor's stories are just fiction. There isn't a man in Hollywood who you can call to find out the time you'll die. There's not a haunted hotel bar in Los Angeles that the devil likes to frequent. There's no such thing as magic. But . . . most students don't have the same tragic past as Holland St. James. Now a graduate student, Holland is hoping to use her thesis to rewrite her past by proving that some of the most infamous deaths in old Hollywood were actually murders committed by the devil. She has no idea that this quest will lead her into a deadly world of century-old secrets and unimaginable lies and onto the path of two very dangerous men, both of whom are willing to do whatever it takes to find a magic that will either forever alter Holland's life or completely destroy it.

This was fun! It's an urban fantasy centered around urban myths in Los Angeles. Holland is working on her thesis centered around one of those myths. And then one day she is thrust further into that world when she discovers how to contact the Watch Man, who can tell you the date and time of your death. She's sent on a hurried chase to find the only thing that will save her. I really like the way Garber writes. And I liked Holland a lot.

I almost skipped this month, then I realized I could get the Hilderbrand as an add-on so I picked the fancy fantasy. Something different for me. #BOTM

This is the second book I brought on vacation with me and I am absolutely loving it! I‘ve been happily floating in a pool with my book and my coffee this whole vacation.

I can‘t wait to see what everyone choosing it for their #BOTM thinks because they‘ll have early access to it too!

I DID IT! I finally found a BOTM pick that I‘m kinda, sorta intrigued by (the bar has drastically been lowered since the last book I ordered was forever ago). My reminder is set to cancel my membership before my card gets charged for next month. It‘s been fun BOTM, but the time has come to say good-bye 👋👋👋👋👋👋

bumpinthenight This book is really fun! I hope you like it! 3w
Aims42 @bumpinthenight Oooo, YAY! I don‘t usually gravitate towards fantasy, but the summary sounded really intriguing 😁 3w

September #botm books dropped! I went with the new Rachel Harrison. And they are doing a special sprayed edge edition of Alchemy of Secrets, so I added that one too. It's my birthday month, so that add-on was mostly free. I just had to pay the $2.99 special edition charge.
