The Demon Librarian

Find more reviews at The Demon Librarian.A trip to heartbreak hotel.This was definitely one of the stronger instalments to the series. Lots of lovely drama, as well as all the usual funny scenarios and witty banter that come part and parcel with everyone's favourite vamp next door, Jane Jameson.You might recall Gabriel—Jane's sire and on/off boyfriend with complications—was acting mighty peculiar during the last book. Lots of visits out of town, lots of evading direct questions.... Jane, being the laidback, awesome character she is, has been giving him the benefit of the doubt until now, trusting him to tell her what's going on in his own sweet time. But even former mild-mannered librarians have their limits, and when Gabriel keeps disappearing for hours at a time during their romantic vacation, Jane finally reaches hers. Big time. Now it's answer hour. Give it up or get the hell out. Only that ultimatum doesn't go quite as she planned, and has devastating results.So, it's a different, more sombre, Jane that returns back to the Hollow, but she has her new book store and good friends in the form of Andrea and Dick to keep her occupied, as well as some other strange happenings to try and figure out. And all of these things combined help to dull the ache, or at least take her mind off it a bit. Of course, it's only a matter of time before it all comes to a head once again, and when Jane finds out the real truth, that's when things get really scary. For everyone involved.All together one of the better plots in the series and it comes with lots of the answers we've been waiting for. Definitely worth a read!4 Stars! ★★★★
