The Demon Librarian

Someone is collecting Supernaturals like a kid collecting Pokemon stickers. There's nothing quite so creepy as a fanatical sociopath. And Tyrone Winsloe fits that bill. He's not doing it alone, but of the three in charge of this little game of round up, he's the one that freaked me out he most. The other's could claim they were doing it for research, for the good of mankind. Winsloe was doing it just for kicks and giggles.The book opens (well, duh) with quite a long prologue, where we are in the mind of a Shaman who's trying to escape through the forest from a pack hunting dogs and bloodhounds, set upon him as part of a game that he can't ever win, by Winsloe and his flunkies. It kind of reminded me of that movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Running Man. Only this poor Shaman guy was no Arnie.In their mission to collect every race of supernatural, to which we as reader are introduced to several new ones in this book, rather than just the werewolves in the first book, they start to target Elena. I don't think I'll be giving to much away to say that they do eventually get her, seeing as it says it in the blurb on the back of the book. Heck even the title is a bit of a giveaway.During the time whilst she's locked up we meet a lot of new characters, both good and bad guys. Armstrong does creepy maniacal villains really well actually. I thought so in the last book, but these guys were even better (or worse, depending on how you look at it) Luckily, Elena is a tough cookie. She doesn't fall apart at the seams. She seems quietly confident that the rescue party will be coming. She just has to wait it out, and survive.This storyline of course meant that Clay and Elena didn't see much of each other in this book. She still stutters like a fool whenever anyone asks her who Clay is to her. Like "Is this your husband?" To which she replies "Uh...I..uh.." You know, that kind of thing. I look forward to seeing how they progress as a couple, if they'll ever actually get married, then she'd know how to answer the question at least! And since Clays been wearing a wedding band and saying he's married for the last 12 years anyway, they may as well.
