Thief of Lies (Library Jumpers, #1)

by Brenda Drake

Gia Kearns would rather spar with boys than kiss them. That is, until Arik, a leather clad hottie in the Boston Athenaeum, suddenly disappears. While examining the book of world libraries he abandoned, Gia unwittingly speaks the key that sucks her and her friends into a photograph and transports them into a Paris library, where Arik and his Sentinels-magical knights charged with protecting humans from the creatures traveling across the gateway books-rescue them from a demonic hound. Jumping into some of the world's most beautiful libraries would be a dream come true for Gia, if she weren't busy resisting forbidden love or dodging an exiled wizard seeking revenge on both the Mystik and human worlds. Add a French vixen obsessed with Arik and a flirtation with a young wizard, and Gia must choose between her heart and her head, between Arik's world and her own, before both are destroyed.

I been wanting to read this book for a long time the synopsis jumping into the worlds most famous libraries, a bad ass girl with powers no one seen in a long time, and a couple of hots guys usually makes for a great story and this one was awesome.

The book was done at the perfect pace slow build up to a action packed ending that left me ready to jump into book two which you will see up for review next month as i am a book blog tour for it. I excited to see where Gia goes as she learns more about this world she accidentally jumped into and how her unsuspecting family and friends will play into and oh what she going to do about the guy she suppose to marry -- according to a long standing tradition.

I really enjoyed this one. I borrowed it from a friend who had won it at RT. I loved the cover and the blurb and hoped the story matched them.

Gia was a fantastic teenage heroine. She had angst but also a fierce belief that she could do whatever the boys were doing. She proved she could hold her and could be an asset to the new world she discovered.

I look forward to reading more in this series. The premise, using the books in a library to jump to another place or even time, was fun and something a booklover could connect with.

I gave up after 100 pages. I really wanted to love this, but ugh!

He gave me a crooked smile, his gaze dropping to my chest.
“Did you just check out my boobs?” I whispered. Please say yes.
“No.” He smirked. “Okay, yes. I am a guy.”
That you are. I yanked the covers up to my chin and suppressed a smile.
