Rare book dealer Lily Albrecht has just been given a tip-off about The Book of the Most Precious Substance, a 17th century manual rumoured to be the most powerful occult book ever written, if it really exists at all. With some of the wealthiest people in the world willing to pay Lily a fortune to track it down, she embarks on a journey from New York to New Orleans to Munich to Paris. If she finds it, Lily stands to gain more than just money. This could erase the greatest tragedy of her life.

4.5, I enjoyed this immensely, but it's odd and I wouldn't recommend it to everyone.
Not for me, but I bet goth chicks looking for something to finger themselves to would enjoy it. I haven't read Eat, Pray, Love, but I think this is basically that with more pentagrams.
this book genuienly was so weird and fun. i really just had such a good time reading this book. not only is this just like a weird fun book, but it also has something to say. it deals with power and greed and even just a woman who is willing to do anything for her husband who has gotten a tragic diagnosis.
