The Masquerading Magician by Gigi Pandian
An Accidental Alchemist Book 2
Deciphering an ancient alchemy book is more difficult than Zoe Faust bargained for. She’d much rather be gardening and exploring her new home of Portland, Oregon—but time is running out for living gargoyle Dorian Robert-Houdin. If Zoe isn’t able to unlock the 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 that reminds her of her youth, 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.
About the Author
USA Today bestselling author Gigi Pandian spent her childhood being dragged around the world by her cultural anthropologist parents, and now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. She’s the author of the Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt mystery series (Artifact, Pirate Vishnu, and Quicksand) and the Accidental Alchemist mysteries (The Accidental Alchemist and The Masquerading Magician).
Gigi’s debut mystery was awarded a Malice Domestic Grant, the follow-up won the Left Coast Crime Rose Award, and her short fiction has been short-listed for Agatha and Macavity awards. A breast cancer diagnosis in her thirties taught her two important life lessons: healing foods can taste amazing, and life’s too short to waste a single moment. Find her online at www.gigipandian.com

I haven’t started this series yet, but I want to. I heard good things about it and sounds so different. I love the covers, very eye catching.
This book sounds like it be a great read
I enjoyed the second book as much or more than the first. Such a fun series.
Thanks so much for featuring the book! I’m having a lot of fun writing this series.
You’re welcome, Gigi! Thank you very much for stopping by Brooke Blogs. 🙂
Love this series, thank you.
I loved this first book and I cannot wait to read more about Zoe and Dorian! It’s got me exploring the wide world of tea!
Dorian, the gargoyle, interests me. Thanks for the contest.
I haven’t started reading this series, but I love that it’s set in Portland, OR
I love books that stretch the imagination without convoluting the plot. This one fits the bill!
