Booked for Murder
R.J. Blain
(Vigilante Magical Librarians #1)
Publication date: August 18th 2020
Genres: Adult, Urban Fantasy
Life as a bodyguard and driver for the rich, famous, and powerful is dangerous on a good day, and after sustaining a crippling injury while on duty, Janette’s left with few options. Having signed a ‘for life’ contract but unable to work, she uses her skills to disappear.
Her new life as a librarian suits her. Nobody cares she limps and sometimes requires a cane to walk. She’s wanted for her knowledge, not her lethal magic. She’s surrounded by books, a woman’s best friend.
But when her former employer’s best friend is murdered on the steps of her library, old loyalties and secrets might destroy her—or set her free.
Teaming up with her co-workers to find the killer might keep her from being booked for murder, but unless she’s careful, she’ll find out exactly how far her ex-boss will go to reclaim what is rightfully his.
Her. For life.
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo / Google Play
I would probably give this book a solid 3.75 stars, but am rounding up to 4 stars for enjoyment alone. This was a really fun story. There is a lot of world building and set up in the beginning of the book, not only to introduce the characters, but also the magic system and world. There were definitely parts of the book that felt like they dragged on a bit too much and when that happened it did make it feel like the book could have been a little shorter – but overall it was a really fun ride and I would definitely pick up more of the books in the series as well as more books by R.J. Blain.
