Thanks so much to Netgalley and Berkley Publishing Group for making this ARC available!!
What a fantastically funny read!! I throughly enjoyed The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society! Weird things are happening in the small town of Winesap, and it takes a delightfully funny librarian to figure it all out. First of all, being a librarian myself, I LOVE a great librarian protagonist, and Sherry is loveable. In fact many of the characters are, and diverse as well. From the good lokking newly minted and insecure priest, to the beautiful art gallery owner. I mean what could they all have in common? Well demon problems of course!
I did keep feeling like I was in a small English town, rather than New York, but I disnt mind.
The plot was twisty, and I honestly didn't figure most things out until they were revealed. Some of the clues were glaring, but I believe intentionally so, and done so as you still didn't quite have all of the pieces. My only real complaint was that i would have liked more society-ing, as the other members of said society didn't play as much of a role as I would have liked. Maybe in a sequel? This was definitely a five star read for me.
