The Chemist

I think the author was trying to write an adult thriller but it still read very much as YA, from the over explaining of every little detail, to the relationship forming between Alex and Daniel. I'm not against YA but this just felt confused, like it didn't know what it wanted to be. It was also boring and I just don't have it in me to finish.

Book 3 complete for O.W.L.'s 2019 Charms - Adult WorkInitial Thoughts: So this book was a struggle at times. The premise is fascinating and gave me all these Alias vibes with this secret government organization that allows all these illegal activities. Alex was a fascinating character. She is definitely a product of the company, but she is also a scientist who is fascinating by her experiments and has unique talents. The writing was also as I have come to expect from Stephenie Meyer, but the romance in this one was a little too much for me. I do not think we needed the romance at all. This book would have been just as good if it was about a trio without two of them getting together. That being said it was still a good book, it just was not what I was expected so I did not enjoy it as much as I could have. I definitely should look into reading more thriller secret organization books (and yes I'm specifically thinking of [b:Ninth House 43263680 Ninth House (Alex Stern, #1) Leigh Bardugo https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1553102141s/43263680.jpg 53348200] that comes out soon!).
