Cynthia Rothschild’s main interests in high school are her job as tech director for her school play, which this year is “Sweeney Todd,” and Ryan Halsey, the most perfect boy ever. She gets to stare with utter longing at him during Italian class. Not that Ryan probably even notices her or knows who she is, but there it is. Cyn does have her best friend, Annie, to talk to and laugh with about her hopeless crush. Annie doesn’t have her own object of romantic longing. Until…
One day Annie informs Cyn of the amazing and perfect and beautiful new school librarian, Mr. Gabriel. Her passion for this new school staffer takes Cyn aback. Then she meets him, and she knows something is off. Sure, he is handsome, and young. But she soon figures out that he’s, well, a demon.
As Annie becomes more and more crazy about the librarian, Cyn is more and more worried about her. And the strange goings-on in the school. Teachers and students start going around with an empty, zoned-out look in their eyes. The principal dies.
The one positive thing that comes out of all this is that Cyn and Ryan get to know each other. They become friends and allies. And could it be possible — just maybe? — that Ryan might be liking Cyn as something more? She can’t be sure. But what’s most important is that they save Annie and the whole school from the dastardly plans of the evil librarian.
Evil Librarian is a fun romp that’s kind of a parody of supernatural teen romance stories. It’s silly, a little scary and still a cute story that doesn’t have to do much to exaggerate the over-the-top feelings of the teen years. Entertaining.
Rated: High. There are right around 10 uses of strong language, as well as more instances of moderate and mild language. There are mentions of blood and death and the story does go into detail about these fictional demons’ appearance and realm and intentions. There’s summoning and other references to satanic/demonic rituals (in kind of tongue-in-cheek context the whole way). Sexual content is limited to kissing and mild to moderate references of the main character’s frequent but each time fairly brief fantasizing about kissing her crush and being in his bedroom, on a bed, etc.
