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.

Starts good, but falls flat

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2020

***Contains Spoilers****

I really loved the first book in this series. This one starts off quite well. Addie is trying to figure out how to move forward with her life knowing what she does of her past and with all her friends hating her. Without resources, she winds up having to make some questionable bargains to get access to a lab and everything she needs to try to redeem alchemy in the eyes of the world.

Of course, because it wouldn't be much of a story otherwise, she and her former friends are forced to work together due to some murders. Things start slipping a little here as she tried to turn lying to everyone into a high art form. However, I understood what drove her and, at the beginning at least, was able to shrug and keep moving. But the lies keep getting bigger and bigger.

In the meantime there are murders and random attacks by James' brothers for reasons I couldn't quite figure out. The scenes with them never felt natural to me, but rather felt shoehorned in for some reason that I couldn't figure out. The story had enough going on already without throwing them in as well.

Then, at about 60% in, Addie makes another series of poor decisions that lead to her being captured by James' brothers. And I found I just didn't care to find out what happened. While she had an excuse for some poor decisions, she'd just crossed the line into too many to excuse anymore and I just couldn't find any interest in finding out what happened to her. Which is sad given how much I enjoyed book 1.

The undaunted addled alchemists

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2014

I love this book!! The Blood Alchemists, book two in The Final Formula Series. After reading book one, I was curious to learn what would happen to Rowan and Addie's relationship. The Elements and James walked out of Addie's life when they found out things she had done before her memory was taken. With no lab and no resources she made a deal with Ian Mallory a lich who had once tried to kill Rowan. With the promise of giving Ian the Final Formula, the two set up a lab. Addie had been making a healing burn salve for the local hospital. With news that her latest batch was not working, Addie was devastated. Rowan comes to the lab with news that the magic bullets were now killing the magical and he needed her help. She attempted to make an antidote but it was failing. The search was on for who was targeting and killing their friends. James's brothers were still hunting Rowan. Other magicals were still getting killed. Her formulas not working, Addie had to rely on chemistry. she had lost faith in herself as an alchemists. When Era the Air Element had a gallery showing the true murderers showed their face. Rowan was shot. Addie was kidnapped. Ian the lich was being controlled by the necromancer Neil. Being stuffed in a cooler with no way out Addie had to think fast. Believing again in her strengths Addie devised a potion that helped her get out. She kept appealing to Ian to help her. Refusing to be called a blood alchemists, Ian told her "A talent, whether mundane or magical, is not evil. It's is what's done with that talent that determines good or bad". Addie realized she needed to save those she loved with a few potions the enemy destroyed. she had to help Rowan. With her potions she helped Rowan regain consciousness and strength. Addie decided no more lies. She told the Elements and James the truth about Ian about the blood alchemy. All was forgiven. However Neil the necromancer was still alive. I. can't wait to read the next book and find out what happens to Neil, Ian, and Xander. I just love this series thank you Becca Andre.

Book 2: The Blood Alchemist
Master Alchemist Addie is working to atone her past misdeeds and promote the facts that alchemy can be used for good purposes. She and her lab assistant Ian are moving into a new lab after Addie’s previous lab was destroyed by an evil necromancer. This book reveals more character development as Addie has had some of her memories return. Also, Ian is a necromancer/alchemist that she gave the Final Formula to – to save hers and Rowen’s lives. Blood alchemy is feared by the magic world. Between the two, Addie’s burn salve is being made and is working to help the hospital’s burn patients.
When New Magic people are shot and end up dying, with Addie’s special hunting bullets more danger ensues. When it is discovered that an evil necromancer and James’s Hunter brothers are working together to try to end New Magic, Addie wants to stay in the investigation. Suddenly Addie’s burn salve stops working. Another mystery for her to solve; one with potentially devastating results for Addie’s reputation. Again, this series kept me reading. Truly well worth buying.

Addie Just Keeps Finding Trouble

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2017

Another really good book in this series. It pretty much picks up where the first book left off. We get to meet Ian Mallory, the Lich King. We learn more about necromancers and lich's. James' brothers make another appearance and an unexpected disappearance. Things between Rowan and Addie is a work in progress. And as usual Addie gets herself in some crazy situations.

This book, just like the first, is full of action. It is fast paced and well written. The words just flow off the page, in such a way, you feel like a spectator wi thin the book. The characters are believable and well thought out. Looking forward to reading the next. It's not often you find a good book about alchemy and magic that doesn't involve witches. If you're looking for a different kind of book series, I would recommend this one.

Explosions, Love, Magic and Black Dogs!

The first book in Becca Andre's was great and from the way it finished, the real and loveable characters and knew that book 2 had the potential to be amazing.

On the grounds of this, i bought my kindle copy of The Blood Alchemist as soon as i heard it had been released, regardless of the fact that was at a time in the morning when only birds are awake.

I started reading... And couldn't stop
This is a book that grabs you from the start and doesn't let go.

The characters take on new levels of realty, the plot is more wicked and winding and nothing is quite what it seems the twisting emotions of a lost love and a main character trying to undo her past mistakes - mistakes she hardly remembers - makes this story so much more than just a murder mystery with magic and explosions.

While I struggled to get a grip on the geography of the locations in the book, I suspect this has more to do with my lack of knowledge rather than any failing on the author's part. This did not detract from my enjoyment at all. It simply left me making up imagery images that i am sure were not what the author intended.

All in all though, this has got to be one of my favorite books and cannot wait for next installment in this thrilling series.

Book 2 in the Final Formula Series - a must read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 20, 2014

Another really good read, could not put the book down ( although I again guessed who was doing what from an early stage- knowing this didn't detract at all from the book). Becca Andre's books are fast paced, initiative and different. Her characters are likeable, have depth and personality and although you find romance they are not sappy in any way - refreshing .

What a brilliant series this is! A bit different from your usual paranormal series (no vampires in sight so far), well written, engaging characters and relationships, captivating storyline - just great! Definitely read book one before this one. I just love the whole series and can't wait for the next one - I can't recommend it enough to paranormal fans
