The Invisible Library/Genevieve Cogman/341 pgs.

Irene is sent on a mission for the invisible Library. This Library collects works of fiction from alternate worlds in order to keep all "worlds" in balance. Irene's mission sends her, and her assistant, Kai, to an "alternate" London--a London that has vampires, and Fae creatures, to name a few. They are to acquire a particular edition of a Grimm's fairy tale, and transport it back to the Library. There is sabotage, adventure, humor, etc., in this Victorian era/steampunk novel. It's the first in a series, and highly entertaining. Highly recommended--especially for anyone in the library profession!
