Famous for the Twilight series, Stephenie Meyer once again proves her talent and versatility when trying her hand at the thriller genre with the book The Chemistry Expert - published by Tre Publishing House.
If Twilight is a sweet and magical love story for young people, The Host is an interesting and humane science fiction story, then The Chemist also inherits the characteristic charm and romance, adding thorns, sharpness and poignancy.
The Chemist is the story of a dangerous woman who carries with her six ways to kill her opponents and the entire poison department. But she also has a sharp mind and unwavering determination when confronting an organization that wants to strip her of her humanity and destroy her.

The main character is Alex, a chemist and torturer. With her expertise in poison, she can take away everything that others are proud of, making them betray everything they hold sacred.
She goes by many names, besides Alex, Wilson or Taylor - anything neutral and bland.
Hunted by her own organization, she had to flee and hide in the shadows to save her life.
Every night, Alex sets up a system of traps that release poisonous gas if anyone comes near, wears a gas mask when she sleeps, wears deadly jewelry, and is ready for anything.
When she was hunted down, in order to survive, she gave up her identity, gave up a good night's sleep, gave up a normal life. But she tried not to give up a part of her humanity.
Later, Alex's old boss offers her a way out: a last job in exchange for freedom.
However, when preparing for the most intense mission of her life, she realized that she "fell in love" with the man she had to "trap". However, the truth she got from the victim was not what she imagined and it seemed that the organization had "trapped" her.
Alex is forced to choose: return to the shadows, hunted and alone, or stand up and fight.

The plot of The Chemical Expert is fast-paced, with many dramatic action scenes, many plots interwoven with traps within traps.
Meyer's meticulous writing allows readers to walk through the pages of the book, see through the eyes of the main character, listen to her every thought and feeling. The characters are sharply constructed, both familiar and unique, empathetic and multi-dimensional.
Like all of Meyer's works, at the heart of The Chemist is love, a love that is sincere, haunting, and passionate.
If Bella of Twilight stepped into the darkness because of Edward, then in The Chemist, Alex let go of the poison bottle to hold the hand of the person he loves and step into the light.
Blending intrigue, cunning, romance and suspense, the book is a poison that will "knock out" readers with "deadly" ingenuity and ingenuity.
