EDITED 7/30/2024 W/PUB DAY REVIEW 

I'm giving a short review of my Alpha review.

Holy FRACK! I loved this book. Delaney is a delight! This book was amazing and I am here for it. 

It is Laugh Out Loud Snort Worthy.

Amethysts and Alchemy 
Star Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Scoville Spice Scale: 🌶🌶½

QOTD: Have you ever been in a cave?
AOTD: Yes (see comments)

Sometimes you get so engrossed in a book, so entranced by the writing that when you look up to see you aren't in the scene with the characters, it startles you. Amethysts and Alchemy is one of those rare books. I have read this book twice now and it isn't enough. Read this book if you adore:

🪨 Cosy Fantasy with a side of Romance 
🪨 Rivals to Lovers
🪨 A FMC who is NeuroSpicy, Badass, and awkward
🪨 An adorable Emotional Support Pig 
🪨 A MMC who is patient, kind, tender, dreamy, oh, he's so much…
🪨 The Chauffeur who is full of mischief 
🪨 Lara Croft Meets Lessons in Chemistry vibes

"It was the people who fell in between “friend” and “enemy” that always left me bewildered. Better to shove them in one of two simple categories instead, with enemies being the easiest to avoid. It was a reliable system that, once implemented, had never served me wrong." - Laney 

I'm in love with these characters - Laney, Heath, and Topie. Laney, Laney, Laney. You're a much younger version of me if I'd decided to apply myself to my studies. I completely get the germs, people, being overwhelmed at an airport and just losing it. Oh, and I never met a grammatical error I didn't want to correct. And then there is Heath, who took over your dear friend's shop and desecrated it (I can't stand incense, asthma). But he has been trying to get to know you. And maybe, if you'd give him a chance? Talk to Topie, the greatest Emotional Support Pig ever.

Thank you, Rachel, for trusting me with ARC. It is glorious. Laney is definitely vying for top spot in the Reneriverse. 💚🖖 I look forward to Book Two. 😉
