I know I’m so bad about posting these, but here’s The Lost Plot by Genevieve Cogman.
The book is the fourth in the Invisible Library series. It has gangsters, dragons and time-traveling librarians. There’s really no way to disapprove of this combo.
Enjoy Artemis’s gangster face. Or maybe it’s his dragon face…?
The Lost Plot
by Genevieve Cogman
In a 1920s-esque New York, Prohibition is in force; fedoras, flapper dresses, and tommy guns are in fashion: and intrigue is afoot. Intrepid Librarians Irene and Kai find themselves caught in the middle of a dragon political contest. It seems a young Librarian has become tangled in this conflict, and if they can’t extricate him, there could be serious repercussions for the mysterious Library. And, as the balance of power across mighty factions hangs in the balance, this could even trigger war.
Irene and Kai are locked in a race against time (and dragons) to procure a rare book. They’ll face gangsters, blackmail, and the Library’s own Internal Affairs department. And if it doesn’t end well, it could have dire consequences on Irene’s job. And, incidentally, on her life…
I really need to start this series! I have the first one on my bookshelf, waiting patiently (or maybe not so patiently). Next month! For real this time!
That sounds like a lie I have personally told myself maaaaany times… xD
