If you love dark academia, magic and fantasy you will love Infinity Alchemist by Kacen Callender. 

Ash Woods is learning alchemy without a license which is illegal. If you get caught you face a death sentence and the only way to get a license is to be accepted into university. Ash failed his exam and was turned away from the university. Now Ash works as a grounds keeper for the very same school that rejected him, but in his free time he swipes text books from the library and brushes up on his skills. That is until the day he gets caught by Ramsay Thorne a powerful alchemist with a bad reputation. She needs Ash to help her find the Book of Source and since she caught him using alchemy illegally she extorts Ash for his help. In exchange she gives Ash alchemy lessons in order to pass the licensing exam. Ash realizes that the quest for the Book of Source, which is like the alchemy Bible , will be very dangerous. Ash and Ramsay work closely together and things begin to heat up between the pair. This book has diverse representation, well fleshed characters and the magic/alchemy system is well thought out.   There’s action, adventure and even some romance. Thank you Tor Teen Publishing for giving me this book in exchange for an honest review.
