Her librarian’s training and new magical abilities give the hunt a distinctive blend of cataloging expertise and fantasy adventure. The book’s power to twist truth into illusion puts trust and perception in question as Zoe, Jasper, and the BODO team follow its trail through midnight markets and demon-infested streets.

Book overview

A librarian witch must use her bookish knowledge to track down a dangerous, magical tome, in this enchanting novel from New York Times bestselling author Jenn McKinlay.

Thanks to her training as a librarian and her newfound magical abilities, Zoe Ziakas thinks she has a handle on her job at the Museum of Literature safeguarding the secret collection of enchanted tomes known as the Books of Dubious Origin. But when Jasper Griffin--the colleague she's been crushing on--reports that their most volatile acquisition, The Book of Shadows, has been stolen, Zoe's carefully cataloged world unravels.

This isn't just any magical text. It carries unquestionable power, twisting truth into illusion and turning allies into enemies. Once its power is unleashed, no one can trust what they see or who they are.

To track down the book, Zoe, Jasper, and the rest of the BODO team plunge into a perilous hunt that takes them from shadowy midnight markets to demon-infested streets, all while wrangling an unpredictable hellhound puppy. But when the thief begins to invoke the book's darkest spells, Zoe faces an impossible challenge: How does she stop a curse that can rewrite reality itself?

If she can't separate fact from fiction, the story won't just end--it will be erased.
