Summary

Deciphering an ancient alchemy book is more difficult than Zoe Faust bargained for. She'd much rather be gardening and exploring her new hometown of Portland, Oregon - but time is running out for living gargoyle Dorian Robert-Houdin. If Zoe isn't able to unlock an unusual alchemy book's secrets soon, the French gargoyle will remain awake but trapped in stone forever.

When Zoe gives herself a rare night out to attend a classic magic show, she realizes the stage magicians are much more than they seem. A murder at the theater leads back to a string of unsolved robberies and murders in Portland's past - and a mystery far more personal than Zoe and Dorian ever imagined.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

A good listen

characters to care about , a growing soft spot for a gargoyle. Well read with a nice mystery in each book together with a further underlying larger mystery unraveling in the quest to save a friend. A good listen for all ages

Excellent over all!

I started listening to the first book about a week ago, and this second book yesterday. Have found it incredibly difficult to "put down", so here I am at 1.30am having finished it! Looking forward to the rest of the series for sure :)

If you start with book 1 in the series… you won’t regret it

I’ve just finished this book and am going to begin the 3rd book in the series in about 5 mins…
There’s no blood, guts & gore or gun shots and sex in these books… just a delightfully good story. I am actually quite attached to Dorian the gargoyle now…

enjoyable but repetitive story

Although I enjoyed the story, the author repeats herself too much from the previous book

another great instalment

I enjoyed the continuation of the story but found it to be very repeative. The author spent too much time repeating what had happened in the previous story and not enough on the current/future plot. I'm going to listen to the next one but I may not continue if its the same or worse.

Dorian is so funny, learning to swear in French.

Love Dorian, the Gargoyle. He needs to bring out a cook book. Can't wait to continue with the story as very absorbing.
