Tea & Alchemy

De: Sharon Lynn Fisher

Narrado por: Shane East, Marisa Calin

A tea leaf reader in nineteenth-century England falls in love—and in danger—with a reclusive alchemist in an enthralling historical fantasy by the author of Salt & Broom and Grimm Curiosities.

Cornwall, 1854. The people of Roche have always whispered about the recluse in the black granite tower that looms above the moorland. But one young woman is driven to discover the truth behind the old tales.

Her life overshadowed by family tragedy, Mina Penrose escapes her lonely days by working at The Magpie, a cozy tearoom on the village’s edge. Lately she’s been seeing shapes in the sodden leaves that hint at the future. After one such omen, Mina stumbles upon a murdered man on the heath. Villagers immediately suspect Harker Tregarrick, a living, breathing mystery who never ventures beyond the bounds of his centuries-old estate.

Until the day after the murder, when the handsome and compelling recluse visits The Magpie…leading to a meeting that will change both their fates. Captivated by a man around whom danger and rumors of death swirl, Mina has never felt more alive. Can she uncover Harker’s heartbreaking history—and the truth about the murder—before tragedy strikes again?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Fisher deftly combines adventure and romance in this atmospheric historical fantasy.”—Booklist

Good from first page

Could not put this down. Love the mix of paranormal and historical fiction. Unexpected ending, but it was better than I imagined

Not my cup of tea

Overall just wasn’t my cup of tea (pun intended) but interesting concept. I also didn’t love the narration, it felt a bit silly and over the top.

Fantastic audio!

Especially the male narrator for Harker - lovely voice!! Looking forward to Fishers next book! Also happpy this was on Kindle Unlimited. Slow burn, gothic fantasy

interesting twist to vampires

this story caught my attention right from the start. its an interesting telling of vampires and how they come to be and how one tried to change history of the life and bloodline.

I didnt enjoy the plot

Tea and Alchemy
⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 stars)
I liked the location, the timeframe, and the main characters. I especially loved the tea shop setting and really wanted more of the alchemy element woven into the story. Unfortunately, the plot itself just didn’t work for me, and I found myself wishing it had gone in a different direction.
I was about halfway through the book when it finally clicked where I’d heard the narrators before. Marisa Calin also narrated the Maxton Hall series I finished earlier this month, and Shane East narrated The Wolf King series.
