Episode 67 – The Chemist

The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer

Kait, Renata, and Jeanne (@FangirlJeanne) read Stephenie Meyer’s adult romantic thriller, The Chemist. It’s a love story that starts off with torture (but like the 24 kind, not the 50 Shades kind) and ends with a Food Network reality show. It made us truly miss the Cullens. We hope you enjoy listening to this podcast, whether it’s from inside your Volvo, Jaguar, Hummer, or other type of vehicle that Stephenie Meyer might enjoy describing in detail!

Readers advisory: Here.

Coming up next: Cookie Meets Peanut by Bethenny Frankel.

Intrepid detective Alex Cross investigates vampire-themed murders, as well as the body of every female character in the book.
