I like unusual approaches to fantasy and the idea of an invisible library existing is fascinating. Not certain about stealing rare manuscripts from other universes but that is the core of this tale. Irene is a junior librarian who has been assigned to do just that from a chaos/tech alternate universe. She has been assigned a handsome young man, Kai, to tutor and train about how librarians complete their tasks.

The two reach their location safely but soon discover violence and opposing individuals who are also seeking this manuscript. First, the man/vampire is killed. Second, to make matters worse a rogue librian responsible for missing librarians appears to make the situation even more dangerous. Third, the technical creatures and machines and the choas driven inhabitants provide more challenge than they had hoped. Finally, Irene realizes that Kai is not who she thinks he is but he has gained her trust and watches her back.

There is considerable action and situations from which Irene and Kai must escape before the climax is reached. I did enjoy this read and will look for the next book to see how Kai and Irene manage their next adventure.
