The Apothecary’s Curse (The Apothecary Series) by Barbara Barnett – Review by Callie Luna

The Apothecary’s Curse by Barbara Barnett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Apothecary’s Curse starts out a bit slow but once you get invested in Gaelan and Simon’s life you can’t put it down. Gaelan has had an interesting life due to making a potion that has cursed him with immorality (and fast regeneration). Simon only wants to cure his wife of cancer but instead he is granted immortality instead of death. The book deals with many different time periods that all tie together wonderfully to give an exciting and refreshing story. At first I found it to be a bit confusing but once I started to put the pieces together I could not put it down. I felt a hint of ‘Interview with a Vampire’ feel to if due to the immorality factor. Instead this focuses on apothecary/ alchemy with a hint of the elixir of life or the alchemists stone. The ending is left open for another book which I anxiously wish to read!
