Mercury Retrograde by Laura Bickle
5.0
I LOVE THIS SERIES AND THIS AUTHOR! Each series Laura Bickle writes is a unique voice. Dark Alchemy is especially intriguing with its magic and mythology in a weird Western big ol' mixture of superb! I was hoping that there would be a return to hang with Petra and her world and I got my wish. This is just a fantastic sequel to DARK ALCHEMY.
Petra is still reeling from the events that led her to this neck of Yellowstone and what occurred once she arrived. Now she is asked to accompany a team to help round up a giant snake that was a result of magic and alchemy.
There is also the issue with the Alchemical Tree that continues to decline. Without the Tree, the Hanged Men can't continue, so what will become of Gabe, Petra's mysterious man? It will also diminish her capability to search for her missing father.
To go anymore into the tale is to tell the whole story.
It is written so vividly that I could envision the death and mayhem, feel the heat of the desert, the roughness of Sig's coyote fur, the texture of mercury.
I can only hope that there will be more books to the series. I love it and highly recommend it.
