    About this audiobook

    He’s young. He’s hot. He’s also evil. He’s…the librarian.

    When Cynthia Rothschild’s best friend, Annie, falls head over heels for the new high-school librarian, Cyn can totally see why. He’s really young and super cute and thinks Annie would make an excellent library monitor. But after meeting Mr. Gabriel, Cyn realizes something isn’t quite right. Maybe it’s the creepy look in the librarian’s eyes, or the weird feeling Cyn gets whenever she’s around him. Before long Cyn realizes that Mr. Gabriel is, in fact…a demon. Now, in addition to saving the school musical from technical disaster and trying not to make a fool of herself with her own hopeless crush, Cyn has to save her best friend from the clutches of the evil librarian, who also seems to be slowly sucking the life force out of the entire student body! From best-selling author Michelle Knudsen, here is the perfect novel for teens who like their horror served up with a bit of romance, plenty of humor, and some pretty hot guys (of both the good and evil variety).

      Funny, clever and relatable. Well not the evil librarian part but I relate to Cynthia. When high schooler Cynthia’s best friend falls for the new hot librarian the sh*t hits the fan. Cynthia will stop at nothing to save Annie her best friend even if it means losing the boy she’s crushed over forever. I couldn’t put this down.
    • 2/5
      First of all Congrats on writing a novel! That’sa huge accomplishment! My issues with this book is that it’s written in the style of middle grade but given a Y. A. rating because of language and some minor sexuality. The reader for the audio book, which is how I read this, didn’t give the characters or the story any depth. It was creatively monotone. But my hope is that everyone involved will continue to work on their craft. Learn from constructive criticism and keep getting better. I’m rooting for you!
    • 2/5
      Love the title and cover. The actual book, not so much. Probably fine for the tween/teen target market but definitely not an "all ages" read. A bit too vapid for me.
    • 5/5
      Something is wrong with Annie, Cynthia's best friend, ever since the new librarian has come to school. Cynthia has to find out what, no matter how mad Annie gets at her, and save Annie from Mr. Gabriel or die trying. Meanwhile Cynthia is harboring a deep crush on Ryan who is the lead in the school's Sweeney Todd production. When Cynthia realizes what is happening at school as she saves Ryan from falling under the enthrallment of Mr. Gabriel, they join forces to stop Mr. Gabriel's plans. Of course, it is not a smooth or easy path to stop him. They must have help but who to trust.I enjoyed this book. I can just imagine Cynthia's swooning over Ryan to Annie and Annie's disgust with Cynthia when she cannot swoon over Mr. Gabriel. I liked these teens. I chuckled and got caught up in the story as Cynthia discovers what is happening and works to find out how to destroy the evil and save the school. I liked the running commentary that Cynthia had about Ryan throughout the tale. I so identify. This book was so much fun to read. I cannot wait to read the sequel.

      Evil Librarian features a demonic librarian, Mr. Gabriel, who zombifies students into doing his will. Cynthia (Cyn) sees her best friend, Annie, succumb to Mr. Gabriel's "charms" and must find a way to save her --and maybe the whole school. More silly than funny, this book will appeal to zombie-heads and female readers who want a giggle.
    • 4/5
      I checked out Evil Librarian, the first book in the Evil Librarian trilogy, because I'd won an advance reading copy of the third book, Curse of the Evil Librarian. I'm glad I did. This book is comic horror, not unlike 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.' It also takes place in a high school as the first few seasons did, but there's no Chosen One and no vampires. The librarian is the Big Bad, as if you couldn't guess from the title.Our heroine is Cynthia 'Cyn' Rothschild. She has her dream role in the school musical: technical director. This year they're doing 'Sweeney Todd.' As our book opens, Cyn's biggest difficulties are creating a workable version of the Sweeney Todd murder chair and her crush on handsome Ryan Halsey, who is playing the lead. He hardly seems to know she exists. Not all the encouragement of her best friend, Annie Gibson, can get her to strike up a conversation with him. When he hands her her fallen notebook, she can't say a word.It's not long before Annie gets a crush of her own: John Gabriel, the school's attractive young librarian. Cyn doesn't see what Annie (and other students) see in Mr. Gabriel, but the librarian's attentions to her friend send Cyn's alarm bells ringing. Of course Annie won't hear a word against him.
    • 3/5
      I was drawn into this series with the Librarian hook. In the end that proved an irrelevant detail--the antagonist could have been a guidance counselor or school nurse. Nothing very library-y involved. A bunch of demons invade a high school, and because Cynthia has special anti-demon abilities it is up to her to rescue her best friend. Think Buffy, with a touch of Harry Potter.Once I recovered from my disappointment, the overall set up was interesting and convincingly executed. For a YA book it has a pretty casual attitude toward the deaths of characters, but probably no moresothan Buffy did. What really kept disturbing me was, again for a YA book, the ongoing carnality of the heroine's thoughts. If we take as a prototype of teen attraction that been Meg and Calvin in A Wrinkle in Time, here Cynthia speaks constantly about her aching loins, and swoons at the thought of what Ryan might have done in those bedsheets she now could be touching. The contrast is not favorable.What is done well, however, is the ongoing tension between acting independently to do what one thinks is right, and trying to please others, who may wind up being disappointed in you and feeling that you deceived them.
    • 5/5
      Written with young adults in mind, this was another fun, fast read. I'd put it in the "dark fantasy" genre. Even as bad as it is to have a demon doing what demons do (death, destruction, soul-sucking), most of the icky parts take place off stage. And the narrator, Cynthia Rothschild, has a sense of humor.I was impressed by how the first person narration worked in this book. And I am not so old that I don't remember how it feels to be totally in love with someone. And I loved the tie in with the high school musical, Sweeney Todd.Young adults would probably like the book. People who like dark fantasy might well enjoy it. Teens with an interest in musicals would probably be drawn in. If you like dark fantasy, musicals, and romance, then you need to stop reading this review and start reading the book.
    • 4/5
      Clever and smart with just enough humor to make me smile, it's a high school romance entwined with musical theatre and a demon take-over of Central High School. When Cynthia (Cyn) Rothschild's best friend, Annie falls head over heals with the new librarian, Cyn wants to know what all the fuss is about. What she discovers is that the new librarian is a demon and only she can identify him as such, as she is a "super-roach" with a certain amount of immunity to the ways of demons. All this is intermixed with her being the Tech Director of this year's school play, Sweeney Todd (demons love Sweeney) and her unending crush on Ryan Halsey. Fun.
    • 4/5
      4.5 fabulous stars. I loved this quirky read. I really liked the main characters Cynthia and Ryan. Especially Cyn with all her kick ass saving the world heroine personality.
    • 3/5
      Haven't finished this yet. It was so boring that I couldn't finish it in the two weeks I had it from my library and someone else had a hold after me, so I have to wait till they're finished before I can. So...first impression. As I said, boring. It feels like a really amateurish romance that's just using the demonic librarian as a McGuffin. Imagine for a moment that someone with zero talent or finesse had created Buffy the Vampire Slayer, without any of the witty dialogue, fun characters, social commentary, etc. It's just absolute schlock.
    • 4/5
      I totally did not expect to love Evil Librarian.

      Romance in books? It annoys me at the best of times and occasionally makes me throw books at walls. So, when the main character was head over heels for a guy and her classmate developed a thing for a super-hot school librarian, I could hear my eyes roll, okay? I was all set to put down my copy and never pick it up again.

      And yet... I didn't.

      I still don't know why. Was it the hilarious voice and inner dialogue of the main character? Was it the frequent references to Sweeney Todd? Was it the plot, equal parts terrifying, hilarious, and slapdash? Was it the whole library thing? (Hey, I work at a library, I'm biased.)

      I have no idea. What I do know is that this was one of the funniest, most engaging books I've read in awhile. It reminded me of everything I loved about the campy horror episodes of The X-Files, and it brought me right back to the feeling of being a high school girl.

      I unexpectedly loved this.
    • 5/5
      Paranormal romance is way better when it follows a Buffy outline with clever teens fighting evil and still maintaining their grades. I like it funny. In this case, the librarian is evil, is stealing bits of souls or whatever, and is planning to destroy everyone in the school. Fortunately, that's not going to happen until after opening night of the school musical, Sweeney Todd, which of course demons just love.

      More than anything, this book glows with the love of putting on a show. It also highlights how important the stuff kids learn outside of class is. This is for people who don't believe all the drama in highschool has to do with mean girls, in fact, friendship among Cyn and her girls is more important than anything else.

      The hot new school librarian is not as human as he appears to be, and he's chosen Cynthia's best friend Annie to be his bride when he rules the underworld. Which he plans to do, but not until after the school's production of Sweeney Todd opens, because as everyone knows, demons love Sweeney Todd. Between her duties as technical director for the show and her desperate attempts to save Annie, Cyn has her hands full. Oh, and she also has a crush on a hot guy -- who ends up helping her with the whole demon problem.I devoured this fantastically fun read in one evening. Librarianship and theatre: what else could I ask for? I love that Cyn is the tech director (and a talented one at that). Definitely recommended!
    • 3/5
      Cyn is super excited about being tech director for her high school's production of Sweeney Todd- her crush is the breakout star of the murderous show. But she is not super excited to find out that the hunky, new librarian is actually a terrifying demon and has chosen her best friend to be his unwitting human consort as he attempts to conquer the demon world. Cyn has to stop Mr. Gabriel before he sucks the life essence out of the student body and murders the rest of the staff. But not until after opening night- because of course, all demons love the Barber of Fleet Street... most will be safe until the curtain closes. For those readers who are positive that their teachers are not actually human, this irreverently fun realistic fiction/fantasy/horror story will satisfy lovers of multiple genres.
    • 2/5
      I had really high expectations from this book because it sounded soo damn good, but I was sadly under impressed. Granted this is coming from an adult stand point, not a teen one, I think a lot of female teens would dig this book, but it doesn't really translate well for adult audiences, which is fine because it's not intended for adults anyways. The premise of the book is that a hot young librarian starts at Cyn's (Cynthia) high school and all hell breaks loose (literally) she soon discovers that the librarian is an evil demon intent on sucking the life force out of students, but most disturbingly, the librarian has taken a huge fascination with Cyn's best friend Annie. Cyn has to figure out a way to stop the evil librarian, save her best friend, find someone that believe's her, stop drooling over her crush, AND make sure the school's musical production of Sweeny Todd goes off without a hitch. How will she ever survive? It's perfect for teenagers obsessed with dark humor, musicals, and fantasy. Like I said, it fell a little flat for me, but I have no doubt that teenagers will eat this up.
    • 2/5
      When Cyn's friend, Annie, gets infatuated with the new librarian working at their high school, Cyn figures it's just a crush. But Annie starts acting stranger, and people start to go missing, so it's up to Cyn to stop the evil librarian and thwart his plans to suck the souls from the students.

      This book was... interesting. The best I can do is give you is what worked and what didn't.

      What Didn't Work:

      * The book is written in present tense, which is an instant point (or five) against it for a self-proclaimed grammar snob such as myself
      * The writing, while not terrible, is riddled with fragments and assorted other cutesy punctuation, seemingly to mimic the flow of real thoughts, but it mostly just got annoying after a while
      * Cyn's main character development for the first fifty pages or so was how much she wanted to have her crush's babies, which got annoying before it even began. Every section thereafter featuring said crush when they weren't fighting the evil librarian had to have a long inner monologue of how much she wanted to touch him.
      * The author was obviously seeding in the sequels about half-way through, which always bothers me. I have no problem with sequels, and will probably pick them up - but I also want the story to be done, not "mostly done until next time".


      All of these things were working against it, but Knudsen redeemed herself enough to earn that third star. Cyn's character does actually get interesting once you get past the "Look, I'm a teenager girl! I have a crush!" characterization: she's smart, she's independent, and I actually liked her after a while. Knudsen even sneaked in a clever bit of ethical dilemma in the middle, with a discussion of whether or not it was right to interfere with someone's wishes if you disagree with them. The main aspect that elevated the book for me, though, was Knudsen's refusal to go along with the standard cliches.

      At first, I thought there was something off with the pacing, but it gradually dawned on me that I was expecting the pacing for what I was expecting the book to be: the standard horror, where the first half or so is spent investigating, trying to convince other people, oh no! climax, happy ending, no one knows anything went on.

      But that's not what this book is.

      I actually let out a startled laugh when Cyn attempts to convince Ryan that the librarian is a demon. Naturally, she's going to take him to the library, and he'll be a normal guy, and Ryan will think she's crazy - that's how these things go, right?

      Instead, they walk into the library and find the librarian in full demon game-face. That subversion of expectations appears throughout the novel - clever little winks and nods to the genre-savvy readers before pulling the rugs out from under them.

      And that, more than anything, is what made me forgive the present tense and the lengthy "oh squee my crush knows my name" monologues. It's refreshing. It's new. It's a little bit clever.

      Where I start to falter is whether or not something new necessarily makes it something good. Maybe that's ultimately up to the reader to decide.
    • 4/5
      I'll admit, I checked this book out purely because of the title. I had no idea what it was going to be about. I was pleased when I realized it was a YA book, as I really tend to enjoy a lot of things I read in this genre.This is the story of a girl whose high school is gradually being taken over by demons. Not only that, but her best friend is deeply smitten with the main demon, the new school librarian. The book reminds me a little of the Twilight series, but honestly, the writing is so much better. There are some scary parts, and the language gets a bit rough, but for the most part, this story is cute and funny. I really enjoyed this one a lot. And it sort of seems to have set the stage for potential sequels. I'll keep an eye on this author!
    • 4/5
      I really, really enjoyed this book! Great plot and great characters that kept me reading through the night. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars from me is that I am SO sick of reading self-deprecating female protagonists. Cyn has been crushing on Ryan for a long time and I did love getting to see her lovey-dovey thought patterns. What I didn't like was how she constantly told herself and everyone else who would listen about how there was no way he would like her back. It wasn't as bad as a lot of books I've read, but we need stronger girls today who can see their own worth. I'm tired of seeing these god-like boys falling for the quiet, unassuming main character. Why can't two people who fall in love ever be on the same level?
    • 5/5
      Thanks to LibraryThing and Candlewick Press for this awesome read!This book would be so easy to sum up as: just go read it!!! Seriously, it was utterly awesome. As in, I stayed up into the wee hours, laughing my rear end off, and LOVED it. The main character, Cyn, has the best voice I've read in a very long time, and I was completely captivated by it. The story was spooky, and while being rather sinister (there are definitely demons of the hellish variety), it was almost farcical in some regards just because of the main character's voice. I don't know if that's the best way to describe it, but honestly, I loved it. I would have liked to see a bit more about a particular random guy, Adam, who played a small role and felt a little, well, convenient in places, but otherwise, I just got a real kick out of the story. And Ryan? (Yeah, partial to the name for obvious reasons...) Totally swoonworthy. And I enjoyed watching Cyn's attraction, and reaction, toward him. To top things off, I was really gratified to see an awesome friendship between Cyn and her BFF. Cyn wasn't willing to just give up on her friend and was willing to go to hell and back (literally) for her. That won major points from me! Basically, if you're up for an awesome teen voice and great read, this one's for you!And if you think you like the sound of Evil Librarian, definitely check out An Absence of Light--I definitely think the two have a similar market.

      When Cyn's best friend Annie falls for the new school librarian, Cyn is not too concerned. He is cute and young. But after being around Mr Gabriel for a while, she knows something is not right with the new librarian. Annie is cutting classes and acting odd. And she is not the only one. Cyn seems to be the only one who does not fall under the librarian's spell. Uh, yeah, spell as in magic. See, Mr Gabriel is a demon.I really enjoyed this book. It is witty and smart. I found myself laughing out loud a few times. I think there is another book coming. Can't wait.
    • 3/5
      I am a librarian by trade so of course I had to read a book titled Evil Librarian! The librarian's evilness in this case stems from the fact that he is a demon and is attempting to take the narrator's best friend back to the demon underworld as his bride. I really wanted to like this book more - and it certainly had its moments - but I did find the characters frustrating at times (Cyn and Ryan attempt to take on the demon librarian several times without much planning or preparation and accordingly fail). Overall, light, fun & quick reading with some genuinely funny moments.
    • 4/5
      The Good Stuff As a Library Technician I got a total kick out of the librarian jokes Snarky, quirky fun humour, very Whedonesque Extremely likeable heroine and really appreciated how dedicated she was in saving her friend and that her friend was more important than the love interest Absolutely adorable and a perfect choice after reading a heavy or dull read like I had just done Did I mention how hilarious it was Wonderfully realistic teenage emotions Enjoyed all the musical theatre references Message about real friendship is fabulous Loved the last paragraph of the acknowledgments Relate able characters that are realistic and normalThe Not So Good Stuff A Tad predictable (but it was so fun, I didn't really care) Poor Signor De Luca, he was such a good character Favorite Quotes/Passages "Maybe Librarians get points or something for all the books they get checked out, points that can be redeemed for valuable goods and services, like fancy date stamps or maybe those reading posters with t he celebrities on them holding books, and he has a master plan to get all the points he can by charming all the charmable kids in the school and getting them to read a lot. Maybe it's not even h is master plan; maybe it's like, the American Library Association's master plan, and they are stocking high schools across the country with hot young librarians as part of a massive literacy initiative.""Because, you know, evil demon librarians, not so much known for the honesty policy, I bet.""It took all my self-control to resist looking for some of those "love poems" she'd mentioned while I was in her e-mail, but I knew I couldn't resist the distracting and time-consuming throwing up they would probably induce." 4 Dewey's I received this from Random House in exchange for an honest review

      Theatre fanatic Cynthia Rothschild finds herself the reluctant heroine of her oblivious high school when she discovers their new librarian is actually a demon. Not only is he ominously romancing Cyn's best friend, but he has even more nefarious plans underway. We get the story from Cyn's point of view, and though she doesn't necessarily have it all together, she is as genuine, hardworking and loyal a character as you'll ever meet. She's passionate about musical theatre and does technical work for the theatre department at her school; the current show being "Sweeney Todd". Meanwhile, her parents pretty much ignore her and she's hopelessly crushing on a boy that she can't even manage to make eye contact with. Laugh-out-loud funny and mildly gory, "Evil Librarian" gets a huge thumbs-up. Author Knudsen has written characters with surprisingly whimsical and believable quirks. This book feels just a bit different from its paranormal peers: it's a bit sillier, a bit darker, and bit deeper. And while there is the sort of iconic imagery one might expect from a paranormal story, what Knudsen does with the dialogue and characters takes the story in unexpected directions, hilariously so. And it has some depth too. Even without suggesting an ultimate answer, it does satisfyingly dwell on the question of how far a person should go to protect those they love. I predict this book will be well-received by both readers and critics. Recommended.

      Takes awhile to get into the book, but once you do, it sucks you in and doesn't let go. In the end, I really enjoyed it.
    • 3/5
      This book took awhile for me to get into, it felt like the girth of the story kind of dragged on and on until anything happened. I did enjoy the side story, the love of the theater and a girl with her crush, but the main demon story just didn't seem to flesh out for me. In fact it felt more like filler. However the biggest drawback of the book was that it promised horror but did not deliever it.

There are some funny scenes, but a couple fall short. The female MC is an overly-obsessed teen, but the characters are not described in depth (which works well for this book). The novel is a light-hearted, fluffy, and fun read. A good pick for teens and theater fans.LT Early Reviewers

      I almost never do this, but I did not finish Evil Librarian. I had a hard time believing the beginning of the story. I mean, girls getting almost seduced by a hot new male librarian? And not to mention how one girl is affected by him and her friend isn't. Just didn't draw me in. Please remember that this is very subjective and other may really enjoy the read.

      I don’t do scary. I should tell you that up front. Probably most people would say this was not scary. But that’s most people. It was scary for me. Demons are scary. And there are demons in this book. One of them is in the form of a librarian. Scary and terrible. So, it’s just me, but I was scared on every single page of this book. And I had scary dreams about demons when I put it down. You, on the other hand, will love this book. I know you will. You love scary, I think, and this will be a little scary for you. You will love it. You’ll love reading about this scary evil librarian.
