Hello all, I'm hoping you can help me. I remember reading a book in the past year but when I went looking for it to see if the sequel was out I couldn't find in my Read shelf (and of course I can't remember the title!) It starts out with a gal who's had memory loss. She remembers being in an explosion and rescued by a teenage boy and she makes magic bullets for the boy's brothers who have a hunting shop. while searching for answers. There are these powerful people who control the elements and she eventually connects with them (and has a romance with the hunky one). She doesn't have any magic herself but can whip up magic potions. The boy can turn into some kind of otherworld animal. After lots of drama, etc. it turns out she was involved in setting the explosion in the first place as she was searching for an anti-aging potion. During the drama she works on a potion to help burn victims heal faster. Anyone recognize this book?

The Final Formula by Becca Andre seems to match your description.

One reviewer says, "Addie's past is a black hole. The only thing she can remember is alchemy but not her name or anything else. She is eking out a living making heart-seeking bullets for a gun shop. Her first memories are of surviving the explosion which flattened the alchemy building and killed all the alchemists."
