Publisher Description
He’s young. He’s hot. He’s also evil. He’s . . . the librarian. When Cynthia Rothschild’s best friend, Annie, falls head over heels for the new high-school librarian, Cyn can totally see why. He’s really young and super cute and thinks Annie would make an excellent library monitor. But after meeting Mr. Gabriel, Cyn realizes something isn’t quite right. Maybe it’s the creepy look in the librarian’s eyes, or the weird feeling Cyn gets whenever she’s around him. Before long Cyn realizes that Mr. Gabriel is, in fact . . . a demon. Now, in addition to saving the school musical from technical disaster and trying not to make a fool of herself with her own hopeless crush, Cyn has to save her best friend from the clutches of the evil librarian, who also seems to be slowly sucking the life force out of the entire student body! From best-selling author Michelle Knudsen, here is the perfect novel for teens who like their horror served up with a bit of romance, plenty of humor, and some pretty hot guys (of both the good and evil variety).
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Knudsen (The Princess of Trelian) jumps from picture books and middle-grade fiction to YA with this self-aware supernatural dramedy, which sees an ordinary teenage girl caught up in a war between various evil factions, with the souls of her schoolmates at stake. It starts when Cyn Rothchild's best friend Annie inexplicably falls in love with the new school librarian, John Gabriel. Cyn's no stranger to unrequited love she has a thing for the handsome Ryan Halsey, even if she's too awkward to talk to him but Annie is acting downright weird. Before long, Cyn learns that Gabriel is a demon out to acquire the power needed to take the throne back home, and her immunity to his influence makes her a wild card. She teams up with Ryan to save Annie and everyone else from an infernal fate. The writing is clever, the tone wry, and the stakes high, with surprises that keep the plot unpredictable. Cyn's internal monologue provides plenty of amusement, especially when her hormones threaten to overpower her common sense. It's an entertaining tale with room for future installments. Ages 14 up.

OMG
This was an AWESOME book!!! Couldn’t put it down and it should DEFINITELY be turned into a movie. It has just the right mix of evil, drama, romance, and fantasy... Best book I have read in a long time!! Y’all should read it as soon as you can!!!!
Could not put down
I tried really hard to not read this book in 1-2 days but that didn't happen. Cynthia is a typical HS teen lusting after a boy named Ryan. Her best friend Annie is sweet and so innocent. When a new librarian comes to the school Annie and other students start acting strange and then chaos ensues. It's adorably smart, funny and the characters are so relatable. This book may be for YA but I think anyone at any age would enjoy this book. PERFECT for a movie. This book should DEFINITELY be turned into a movie. I wasn't sure if I would like this but I was pleasantly surprised. This is a book that anyone at any age can enjoy. I loved this book.
