ONE THING ANY LIBRARY WILL TELL YOU: THE TRUST IS MUCH STRANGER THAN FICTION...

Irene is a professional spy for the mysterious Library, a shadowy organization that collects important works of fiction from all the different realities. Most recently, she and her enigmatic assistant, Kai, have been sent to an alternate London. Their mission: Retrieve a particularly dangerous book. The problem: By the time they arrive, it's already been stolen.

London's underground factions are prepared to fight to the death to find the tome before Irene and Kai do, a problem compounded by the fact that this world is chaos infested--the laws of nature bent to allow supernatural creatures and unpredictable magic to run rampant. To make matters worse, Kai is hiding something--secrets that could be just as volatile as the chaos-filled world itself.

Now Irene is caught in a puzzling web of deadly danger, conflicting clues, and sinister secret …

When the book begins, it is hard not to be charmed by the main character. The scene opens with deep thought and long-winded detail. This amount of detail may become tedious in most books, but it is used perfectly in this instance, and it brings the world to life. The story is full of action but maintains a clear plot while ensuring room for the reader to think. I won't go into the story so as not to spoil it- but if you are a fan of fantasy rooted in the real world, you'll love this.
