Helena Davies just wants a job that will get her out of her parents’ basement. Abernathy’s Bookstore is disorganized, out of the way, and smells funny, but it pays well and promises to be interesting. She has no idea how interesting. By the end of the first day, Helena has a dead boss in the basement, an unexpected promotion, and the news that she is now a part of an endless war against creatures from another reality.
As Abernathy’s newest custodian, Helena is responsible for its secrets, including the most important one: Abernathy’s isn’t just a bookstore. It’s the world’s only living oracle, producing prophecies to help fight the war against alien invaders bent on draining this world of its magic. Helena’s job is to find books to answer questions put to the oracle by the Wardens, fighters in the Long War. It seems simple enough, but Helena’s new job is anything but.
Without training, without any knowledge of the magical world, and facing the hostility of those who’d wanted someone else to be Abernathy’s custodian, Helena must navigate the treacherous waters of her new world and find a place for herself within it. But there’s still a murderer on the loose, someone who intended to control Abernathy’s by killing its custodian - and Helena might be next on his list.

I stumbled across this series while I was having a tough time getting interested in a book. I did not expect to enjoy it so much. Had I known, I would’ve waited to start it when I wasn’t so busy because I couldn’t put any of these books down. I read them instead of studying and stayed up until the early morning hours while I finished several of these books. I have no doubt that it’s become one of my all-time favorite series, along with Harry Potter, Fablehaven, and Inkheart. However, it’s the most mature of those series and I feel so thankful to have found myself again lost in a fantasy world, which I feared went away with my childhood.
Needless to say, I absolutely recommend this series. I was surprised by all the negative reviews. But I think that some adults (like my husband) need a series to be heavier and denser to find it worth my time. Not with me, I prefer to read a fantasy book effortlessly. I suggest you give it a shot and see if you can put it down. :)

EVERYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE IS NOT MY REVIEW. WHY WOULD I GIVE SOMETHING 1 STAR ACROSS THE BOARD, THEN SAY I ENJOYED IT? I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK, I CAN'T REMEMBER EVEN READING IT. i''VE BEEN HACKED.
Very refreshing...
