About this audiobook
When Revell Pharmaceuticals, the multi-billion dollar giant owned by the Revells, approaches Taylor Knox and his company with the possibility of a merger, the future has never looked better.
Not only will the merger benefit Taylor and his company—the promise of a personal share of the proceeds makes the move even more worthwhile. But in order to obtain this personal share, Taylor must find the missing pharmaceutical heiress, Kirra Revell—once the love of his life—who seems to have disappeared without a trace.
According to her sister, Kirra has been kidnapped. But as Taylor travels the globe in pursuit of the missing woman, he realizes that Kirra simply doesn’t want to be found.
As the search continues, Taylor’s life is threatened at every turn. Who is behind these deadly attacks? When Taylor finally locates Kirra and discovers the secret of her research with indigenous plants, he realizes what a threat she is to her family’s pharmaceutical empire. And now, he too is a threat. How far are these corporate killers willing to go to protect their empire?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I 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!
