"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."--

This book promised much more than what it ended up being, as other reviewers said. I very much doubt that I will be continuing the series.
I really enjoyed this book. It's clearly very well researched, and the characters were very interesting to get to know. Plus the setting was so much fun (says a girl who grew up in the PNW, haha)!
If I had to pick a “could be improved” aspect, I will say that sometimes the editing gave me pause. But it wasn't a big deal, and honestly I'm picky about stuff like that, so that's on me!
On the whole this was an extremely enjoyable world to get lost in. I'm looking forward to the next one!
