About this listen

From USA Today best-selling author Gigi Pandian comes a modern tale of ancient intrigue.

Unpacking her belongings in her new hometown of Portland, Oregon, herbalist and reformed alchemist Zoe Faust can't help but notice she's picked up a stowaway. Dorian Robert-Houdin is a living, breathing three-and-half-foot gargoyle—not to mention a master of French cuisine—and he needs Zoe's expertise to decipher a centuries-old text. Zoe, who's trying to put her old life behind her, isn't so sure she wants to reopen her alchemical past ... until the dead man on her porch leaves her no choice.

Includes recipes!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

O…M…G!!!!!
I’m guessing the author is a massive vegan! Every single opportunity to mention veganism, vegan food, vegan food swaps for eggs or milk or cheese is leapt upon with enthusiasm.
The story isn’t bad, but stop with the absolutely relentless vegan propaganda.
Normally this book would be right up my street, but I won’t be listening to any more of this author’s work, because by the end I wanted to scream as vegan cupcakes, or vegan eclairs were dropped unnecessarily into the story YET again.

However, if you’re vegan, dig in…. You’ll find it mouthwatering!

How do you know if someone is a vegan?

Heard a lot worse but found it a bit “Scooby Doo” Tbh the plots.
Worth a read for mild pleasant entertainment though.

Ok, I wouldn’t want to use a credit but for free ok

A very sweet and engaging story. Beautifully narrated. A very pleasant listen. My only negative response is the narrator constantly pronouncing the word herb as ‘erb’ as if the H doesn’t exist. And the word herb comes up in the book a lot.

Delightful tale

Wasn’t expecting too much, but I really enjoyed this book. The reader’s story telling is really engaging, characters voices she uses help the story unlike some audio books where they just distract. Nothing offensive or too adult either, I’d recommend this book for young adults as well as adults. Generally a good all rounder. Looking forward to book 2.

Great book.
