The Invisible Library (The Invisible Library #1) by Genevieve Cogman



The Invisible Library lies outside of the numerous realities and harvests dangerous books that need to be kept safely out of the hands of chaos. Irene is a trained spy for the Library and shes good at what she does but when shes sent to an alternate London with a new recruit she realizes she may have been sent into the midst of a wasp's nest. The book she was sent to retrieve has mysteriously disappeared and the other interested parties all swear they don't have it but they'll do anything to get their hands on it.

In a chaos infested world where supernatural creatures and the Fey seem intent on hindering her progress and the sole person she can depend on is hiding secrets of his own, Irene is going to have to trust her instincts and perhaps veer from the only path she has ever known. For the possibility of treachery from within the library seems to be the only answer to several of her questions and the shadow of the one man feared by all Librarians is looming ever closer.

This is a fun, steam punk influenced tour de force and sets a great tone to a new series that will be appreciated by any book lover. If real Librarians were anything like Irene we'd all be headed to our local library at a run. Pick this up and immerse yourself in a good read.
