The Alchemist and an Amaretto (Guild Codex: Spellbound, #5) (Guild Codex Universe, #6)

by Annette Marie

Something dangerous is brewing in The Alchemist and an Amaretto, and Tori is all geared up to save lives and crush bad guys.

As a guild bartender, I can handle pretty much anything—mages, sorcerers, witches, the occasional demon. But show me anything family-related and I'd rather run for the hills. It doesn't even have to be my family.

So I have no idea why I thought spending the holidays with Aaron's mom and pop was a good idea.

Meeting his famous parents is already terrifying enough, but I've got a bigger problem. Students of his family's renowned mage academy are being attacked on the grounds—and somehow no one has seen a single assailant? Unexplained tracks litter the nearby woods, rumors of forbidden alchemy are circulating the campus. . . and Ezra has been acting strangely since we arrived.

Something deadly is brewing in the shadow of Sinclair Academy, and the longer we take to uncover it, the more dangerous it becomes. But no matter the risk, we'll protect the students.

And Aaron's parents too, I suppose. If we have to.

In this installment, we have the treat of leaving our home turf, & instead, goin’ homeeee for the holidays! Aaron’s childhood home, that is- We get to meet the Sinclairs! Squee!

His parents’ estate is also home to a school for Mages, The Sinclair Academy, THE very academy where Aaron & Kai went to school (and also where Aaron infamously rebelled from
