Sure, jumping through books into the world’s most beautiful libraries to protect humans from mystical creatures is awesome. No one knows that better than Gia Kearns, but she could do without the part where people are always trying to kill her. Oh, and the fact that Pop and her had to move away from her friends and life as she knew it.
And if that isn’t enough, her boyfriend, Arik, is acting strangely. Like, maybe she should be calling him “ex,” since he’s so into another girl. But she doesn’t have time to be mad or even jealous, because someone has to save the world from the upcoming apocalypse, and it looks like that’s going to be Gia.
Maybe. If she survives.
OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES:
Gia Kearns would rather fight 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 her heart or dodging an exiled wizard seeking revenge on both the Mystik and human worlds. Add a French flirt obsessed with Arik and a fling 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.
Excerpt
After we both tried to discreetly wipe the tears Shelby’s heartfelt
words had brought on, she leaned over before handing me a small, dainty bag. I
pulled out the little black box tucked inside and opened it to find a sterling
silver pendant with three intertwined hearts. There was a note resting beside it
that read, ‘These Three Hearts are a symbol of our friendship. It’s connected
not only by our hearts, but our souls. For a long moment, I stared at the
necklace, and for the first time in my life, was given a gift that touched me
so deeply I had no words. I looked up to see Shelby staring back, wide-eyed and
worried about my reaction to her gift.
“Well, shit,” I croaked out. “This is beautiful and I love it.”
Shelby sagged with relief before handing Lexi the exact same
bag, her voice sweet and nervous still.
“I know it’s not much, but I wanted to give you the same necklace
as Gia,” she paused, reaching into her blouse to reveal the same necklace
resting against her chest. “I figured this way, no matter where we go, we would
always be in each other’s hearts.”
