My Take
I want to read more of Chess’ adventures as a demon-hunting librarian. Does her sister, Charlie, get in on the action? How does her relationship with Ryan evolve? Does she keep the Maliks in line? How does all this affect the prejudice surrounding the Drakulein?
It all starts when Chess uncovers a hidden cache of magic books under the library and destroys a nasty demon that’s surviving on the flesh of children. Unfortunately, that good deed brings Chess to the attention of both sides who view her existence with great dread.
The adventures that follow will have you on the edge of your seat, in a good way, and the end will have you cheering for more!
