Former novelist Lily Albrecht life has fallen apart. Her husband Abel has Alzheimer and her life is reduced to doctor appointments, depression and a sexless existence. At a book fair, a colleague mentions a rare occult book called The Book of the Most Precious Substance. He has a buyer that is willing to pay unlimited money for it. Lily teams up with another colleague, Lucas, and begins the hunt for the book. Along the way, she finds out the book is a five part ritual involving sex and murder. However, she also learns there is a steep price to be paid, and the book will take its pound of flesh.

So about halfway through this I was like why is there so much sex stuff going on. Then I was like, "Misty, they are hunting for a sex magic book. What did you think was going to happen." Yep, I am an idiot. I enjoyed watching Lily going from depressed on the edge of life to a happy, expressive woman. However, the ending didn't fit the book. Least me for it didn't. Whoever plugged this book as horror needs a new job immediately.
