Books On Our Radar: Strange Alchemy
by Gwenda Bond
Strange Alchemy by Gwenda Bond is a new paranormal mystery that I am so ready for! I need more strange and mysterious in my life. This is giving me very much a The Leftovers feel but clearly this is more about the reoccurring mystery since this exact same thing happens twice in history. I love that alchemists somehow are involved, as I have a soft spot for them ever since reading Richelle Mead’s Bloodlines series. Looking forward to a good mystery be sure to add Strange Alchemy to your TBR for the August 1st, 2017, release!

Gwenda Bond’s first book Blackwood has been reimagined and brought back to life with new vision. On Roanoke Island, the legend of the Lost Colony—and the 114 colonists who vanished without a trace more than four hundred years ago—still haunts the town. But that’s just a story told for the tourists.
When 114 people suddenly disappear from the island in present day, it seems history is repeating itself—and an unlikely pair of seventeen-year-olds might be the only hope of bringing the missing back. Miranda Blackwood, a member of one of island’s most infamous families, and Grant Rawling, the sherrif’s son, who has demons and secrets of his own, find themselves at the center of the mystery.
As the unlikely pair works to uncover the secrets of the new Lost Colony, they must dodge everyone from the authorities to long-dead alchemists as they race against time to save their family and friends before they too are gone for good.
I am OBSESSED with all things Roanoke so I can’t wait for this!
Yes! Finally, I have something to read after this. I really fall in love with paranormal genre as it gives you that “chilling” feeling which would not be the same when you are watching movies.
