The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society

This book was a little hard to get into at the beginning as it felt like you are stepping into the middle of a series. There is no book before this one, so we are left with a lot of history that is only explained in small bits though out the book. The story is not what I was expecting. There is not really a demon hunting society or even many demons in this book. Instead, the story is all over the place and was hard to follow along.

There were so many ideas thrown in that I stopped caring. Page after page you struggle to follow the main character to solve the murder of her boyfriend then there is also the mystery of why this is continuously happening. The main character barely manages to keep on task for either mystery. At the end of the book all the characters are gathered, and the mysteries are unveiled. This does not play out well and felt cheap.

The book does seem to set up a second book and it honestly sounds better thin this book. There are parts of this book I liked, and the overall idea was good, but the execution wasn’t the best.
