    About this ebook

    Against a backdrop of international intrigue and ruthless drug monopolies, award-winning author Davis Bunn delivers an intoxicating page-turner in this redemptive thriller.

    Multi-billion dollar giant Revell Pharmaceuticals is devouring its competition. A new research breakthrough propels the company into releasing its most profitable product ever. Yet a family crisis confronts them when Kirra Revell, heiress to the empire, goes missing.

    Taylor Knox, an employee of Revell's latest acquisition, is blackmailed into leading the search. An expert surfer, Taylor pursues the world's biggest waves as a cover, only to be ensnared in a deadly contest of corporate espionage.

    In the race to find Kirra, everyone's motives are suspect. A Celtic monk's warning only heightens the peril. Is it money, power, passion, or something deeper that compels Taylor to risk everything?

    From Scotland's holy islands to the rugged Basque coast of Spain, from boardrooms and luxury yachts to the dungeons of America's oldest surviving fortress, the hunt is on. Can Taylor Knox achieve his quest before time runs out for Kirra Revell -- and for himself?

      I was sent this ARC by the author in exchange of an honest review.

      In Elixir, we are introduced to a particularly espectacular-minded main character, Sean, 14-year old. While listening to Smashing Pumpkins, he manages to discover the solution to a problem effortlessly. The thing is, it isn't just any problem. The problem he resolved, which was given to him by his teacher who by no means thought him solving it would even be possible, turns his life around. His discovery is life changing.

      As a debut, Elixir was written at a nice pace, despite some parts which were slower than what could have been. It introduces you to the MC by stating all his winnings. Descriptions are well structured, allowing you to understand Sean's point of view on his own intelligence and how he doesn't really enjoy being that smart.
      It enrols nicely and you can perceive the situations Sean is put on okay.

      It is a nice premise and I found it interesting. It's also action packed and quirky. However, I didn't find myself eager to find out the final status of the story.

      Still a nice story from a debut author which is welcomed to write more and more!
