We didn’t know how much we had to lose until we were infected with magic. Sam was in love, Juliette was the main caretaker for her siblings, and Ana and her dad planned the best parties in New York. But we lost it all when we were shipped to Chebeague, an exclusive school for newly infected mages.
Everyone knows about the mages, those who survive the infection and end up with magical abilities. We’ve seen the power of magic, the high-paying jobs, and the world fame. But we never saw the cost. We didn’t know we’d be forced to give up everything: sanity, family, even the right to talk on the phone.
We didn’t know mage was just another word for prisoner.

5,0 su 5 stelle Loved the Characters!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 25 gennaio 2014

I received this book from the authors in exchange for an honest review.

Interesting thing about Alchemy...what I thought I'd dislike the most turned out to be the best part. This novel has three authors. The story is told from three different characters' POV, each author writing a different character. What I was worried would be incongruous, was in actuality intriguing. The three writing styles mesh so well, their voices so similar. I was pleasantly surprised.

This story follows three characters sent to the Chebeague school for newly infected mages. Sam, Ana, and Juliette all have different and interesting stories. The chapters alternate between these three characters as they learn and adjust to their new situation. I loved the fact that all three had unique and individual voices. In a way, it was almost like reading three novels pooled (rather seamlessly) into one.

The plot is interesting. Magic is a virus; individuals become infected when directly exposed to it. In some people it causes madness. The young infected are taken to a school to learn to control their new abilities. These authors do an amazing job explaining and describing this unusual world. I loved the vivid imagery that flowed throughout the story. So many scenes just seemed to leap off the pages and into the mind's eye.

I recommend Alchemy for everyone high school and up that enjoys an unusual paranormal romance. The characters are fun, the plot interesting. They say too many cooks spoil the broth, but in this case three authors were better than one, creating a unique story with three great characters.

4,0 su 5 stelle Intriguing and well-written!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 12 novembre 2014

First of all, I loved this book. I loved the three distinct, but well matched, voices of Sam, Juliette and Ana. I loved the idea, the story and the pacing. I loved the way this book made me LAUGH out loud, feel angry and go a bt mushy at times.

(I REALLY feel that the blurb doesn't do it justice, even a little bit. It's a nice passage, sure, but it doesn't feel suitable as an example of the story. At all.)
Sam is a fantastic character. He is a player and a hopeless flirt, but he has a backstory that makes me root for him no matter what - and the way he mans up to his issues is just fantastic.
Juliette is my other favourite. She's funny, strong, fiercely loyal and very clever. It's very easy to relate to Juliette, even if her problems are far from my world.
...but sadly - I must admit that I found Ana rather bland and tedious. I found her less engaging, less of a person and more of a "any teenage chick-girl".
I also didn't love the ending, as it felt rushed and finished too quickly without real explanations to what was happening. [I get how it's supposed to be chaotic and confusing - as I imagine real life fights aren't usually narrated... ;) But I wish we as readers would have gotten a little more rounded out information.

I am definitely looking forward to the next book!
This one, I got for free and read on Kindle, but I am DEFINITELY prepared to pay for the next one. In fact, if they stay still good, I'll probably buy the whole series in paperback form.

All in all: WELL DONE, ladies! I applaud you and hope to read more from you soon. :)

(This review is a shorter version of my Goodreads-review. Full review can be found there.)

5,0 su 5 stelle Awesome magic system, Better characters
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 17 ottobre 2013
Acquisto verificato
I read this book much faster than I intended too. It's well paced with hints to the main mystery spread out so enticingly I just kept on reading past when I should have. Plus, this book is FUNNY! A couple lines made me snort. Thank goodness only my 3 year old heard.

I love the magic system, where magic is an infectious disease. It's kind of like when you get the flu and it really sucks, but afterwards, you've lost 5 pounds and that's awesome. When you're infected with magic, you're insane for a while and that really sucks, but then you're left with some awesome powers.

I think it's pretty cool that each of the three authors took a point of view. It really gave each of the characters a distinct voice. I liked all the characters. Sam was my favorite, but each of them had their own charm. Sometimes I get irritated in multi-viewpoint books when they move away from my favorite one, but this one didn't bother me. They're all so engrossing.

I would recommend this book to readers aged 14 to 114. It's fun!

5,0 su 5 stelle Hungry for more!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 17 ottobre 2013
Acquisto verificato
I DID NOT want to put the book down and when I did, all I did was think about it and dream about it and think about it more. The authors did an amazing job with the details, characters, and plot twists. Oh, the plot twists - I never saw them coming!

With each character being written by a different author, one wonders how well the book will flow and if the details will coincide; however, these three authors did a magnificent job of intertwining their characters' feelings, interpretations of events, and interactions with the other characters in the book.

I can't wait for the next book in the series and I hope to see more of Seb, Zach, and James (and would love to hear their side of the events unfolding). I am also looking forward to finding out more about the two possible romances or love-triangles that were brewing at the end of book 1! Can't wait to be transported to California!

More Than Just Romance Reviews
5,0 su 5 stelle Great characters, humor, and a fast-moving plot that can appeal to young adults and mature audiences alike.
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 20 agosto 2014
Acquisto verificato
All three authors have a fantastic voice. I enjoyed the writing style, which was humorous yet flirted with deeper emotions. Each character was well-developed and likable. While the content was more suited for a young adult, I was highly entertained throughout and it could certainly appeal to more mature readers. It did remind me of the X-men series, but with an interesting twist (and humorous allusions to the popular series).

Normally I don't care for the "journal entry" book, as it seems to be too passive and not as involved in the action as I would prefer. But this book moves quickly and I frequently forgot it was a journal entry and not the actual events taking place. I'm looking forward to future books, and I will be recommending this one to my mailing list.
