The Apothecary’s Curse (The Apothecary Series) by Barbara Barnett – Review by Melissa Saxton
The Apothecary’s Curse by Barbara Barnett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Simon bell, our main character is absolutely desperate to cure his wife’s cancer to he gives her an elixir which was created in an ancient manuscript, but instead of curing her it kills her
In the depth of despair and distraught he vecomes suicidal and he takes the final dose of the Elixer but instead of also passing away… he instead finds he can’t die!
This lends into a well done story where simon is desperate to find anyone else like him. He finally finds Gaelen and they both want to end their I mmortality and are searching manuscirpts and time itself for how to stop it.
A pharmaceutical entity hears about the immortal men and of course wants to get involved. Along with that team is a renowned geneticist Dr shaw. Simon and Gaelen are not fans of Dr Shaw and treat her quite poorly which seems to have foreshadowing that not treating her will backfire.h
Tis book does start slow, but hang on as when it picks up you wont put it back down. You will be immediately hunting book 2!
