The critically acclaimed urban fantasy about a secret team of agents that hunts down dangerous books containing deadly magic previously released serially online by Serial Box, now available in print for the first time! Magic is real, and hungry. It s trapped in ancient texts and artifacts, and only a few who discover it survive to fight back. Detective Sal Brooks is a survivor. She joins a Vatican-backed black-ops anti-magic squad Team Three of the Societas Librorum Occultorum and together they stand between humanity and the magical apocalypse. Some call them the Bookburners. They don t like the label. Supernatural meets The Da Vinci Code in a fast-paced, kickass character driven novel chock-full of magic, mystery, and mayhem, written collaboratively by a team of some of the best writers working in fantasy."

Reading this was like bingewatching a TV series. In the beginning it felt a bit disjointed but became more cohesive as the story progressed. I need Season 2 now!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was drawn in by this: adventures in demonic possession via rare books, and the anti-magic squad battling to save the world. It didn't take long to read the first episode (51 pages), but the thought of continuing with this chunkster just makes me feel weary. It's obviously not the right book for me right now, so it's going back to the library.

Ok y'all my bookshelf is getting out of control again. Do they allow paid vacation time to read?

Hooked_on_books That should be a law. We'd all be better for it. 7y

This serialized novel was super fun. A secret group within the Vatican is charged with neutralizing demonic books before they possess humans. And it is currently on sale!
