Well, this was sure fun. A little Warehouse 13, a little The Librarian, a little Stargate - all things I love the most. They even snuck in a werewolf, which I usually hate, and made me not hate it. And the magic system was so fascinating, it's called the Torrent and those who have access to it can reach into it or go into it, like a magical river running near them. And there needed to be a series made with a librarian as the main character a very long time ago, so I'm thrilled.

Jayne didn't realize magic was real until she touched an old book and started to see and feel strange things. Then someone "appears" in the library and offers her a job working for the secret branch of the CIA. There are two organizations, neither of which seem fully on the up and up, but one is at least trying to save the world. When ancient legends cross realms with magic, anything is possible. Good thing Jayne loves learning and can think on her feet because she's about to get thrown in deep end headfirst with little time to learn and curveballs being constantly thrown her way. It's a heck of an adventure. And I loved every moment of it.

Also, Jayne is such a nerd in the best way. I kept giggling at all of her "literary" references to Harry Potter and Pride and Prejudice and Robin Hobb. She and I would totally be friends. Why oh why can't magic be real!

I received a free arc from the author and have reviewed it willingly. ( )
