Book three in wonderfully fantastic series, Knudsen keeps the excellent writing style while expanding on the world that we have come to love.

keeping up the rhythm and action it gets right to the point. Cyn has grown so much over the course of the books and this one wasn't any different.

With near perfect continuity and an emotional ending, this is a wonderful book that I can't recommend enough.

I appreciate having had an opportunity to read and review this book. The appeal of this particular book was not evident to me, and if I cannot file a generally positive review I prefer simply to advise the publisher to that effect and file no review at all.

A great finale to an absurdly delicious series! The Evil Librarian is at it again in this thrilling underworld jaunt that has Cyn performing more fantastical feats in order to save her [somewhat useless] boyfriend from a curse. There are steamy demons and lots of laughs. Perfect for anyone already under the EL's spell.

I remember taking out 'The Evil Librarian' a few years ago from the library. I remember devouring it within two days. I had no idea it was going to be a trilogy and I happily checked out the second book and devoured that one too. Now we're here on the third and final installment of the series. I was very glad to see in depth analysis of the characters. I'm a sucker for knowing the backgrounds of characters.

We continue with the spunky Cynthia and accompany her on her senior year of school, where she hopes she doesn't have to deal with anymore evil librarians. However, that's the not the case. Mr. Gabriel is back and more evil than ever! He's like the Michael Myers of Librarians...HE JUST WON'T DIE!..everytime Knudsen brings him back, he's badder and better than ever. That's what I think keeps making this series so good. We have to stan the characters for having grown up and taking matters into their own hands. DEFEAT THOSE DEMONS! And that's what brings them closer together. I really enjoyed this book. Brought back a lot of good memories back. Thank you to NetGalley and Candlewick Press for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Good follow-up to the previous books in the series, and possibly the end of our following Cynthia and Mr. Gabriel. Cynthia's voice is very Buffy here, which I loved and LB was a great addition to their quest

After defeating the evil librarian, Gabriel, demon-resistant Cyn is feeling good about her senior year. All her friends have coupled, and she’s only having sexy dreams about the demon, Peter. When Gabriel returns, however, he puts a curse on Ryan. In order to get the curse lifted, Cyn must find the piece of an old amulet that Gabriel wants. The catch-it's in the most dangerous place in Hell, where no demons will go. Can she save Ryan? What is Gabriel really up to? Mixed with humor and horror, the author does a great job of blending the two genres to lighten the mood of the book. The plot is well-developed and full of twists and turns. The characters are spunky, witty, and courageous. Descriptions, however, aren’t very plentiful, except for describing demons. Fans of the series are sure to be satisfied with the final book in the series.

It was a long hard road to rid the world of the Evil Librarian; but now he's securely tucked away in Hades. Senior year is beginning, everyone 's in love, the sun is shining, "Les Miserables " is the school play....what could go wrong?


Only the return of the Evil Librarian....


Welcome back to the Series that makes demon-hunting fun, exciting, and humor-filled...and dangerous.

When I requested this title, I did not realize it was a third in a series of books. With that in mind, a lot of the dirty involved knowing details from the previous books & that made reading this difficult. I was unable to get into it and finish. I can see that it’d be very good and maybe one day I will read the others!

Thank you Netgalley and Publishers for granting me early access to "Curse Of The Evil Librarian".

This book did top my favorite reads this year, however I'm currently in the middle of a major move, and will definitely come back at a later time and write out a full review and rating.

Thank you so much!

Good follow-up to the previous books in the series, and possibly the end of our following Cynthia and Mr. Gabriel. Cynthia's voice is very Buffy here, which I loved and LB was a great addition to their quest. Usually I'm against the whole love triangle thing but in this case I'll make an exception for Cynthia/Ryan/Peter. If this is the end, that's fine. But I'd be happy to meet them again.

Fans of the previous two books will not be disappointed as the wise-cracking Cyn returns to the demon world for an epic battle with the evil librarian yet again!

In order to regain his physical presence, John Gabriel (the EL) brokers another deal with Cyn. If she can collect a special amulet from a certain demon, he will remove a spell/curse from Cyn's boyfriend Ryan.

The treacherous journey to get the amulet is totally enthralling ... lots of scary a-- demons are described with nauseating and also humorous detail while Cyn's escapades are excitingly insane.

Cyn's loyal friends provide laughter and refreshing insights, while demon friends Peter and LB (John Gabriel's little demon brother) become surprising allies.

The epic battle was pretty gruesome, and the outcome was definitely satisfying ... for LB. I really started to like the demon. He was a bad demon with a good side, he was just under his bro's thumb for way too long. Go LB!

And, Peter, well, he could be an angel at times. He also had this cool, dark side, like when he was ordering around his loyal demon subject. Oooh, even Cyn needed to fan herself. Sometimes I wanted her to be with Peter, but duh, he's a demon! Still, Ryan was sometimes a little too self-centered for my taste.

So the last few pages I could have done without... it was too much introspection by Cyn that seemed out of character. Could there be yet another sequel? I don't know, but I would be happy to read it!

Thank you to #NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of #CurseoftheEvilLibrarian!

How on earth I didn't discover this series before ? It was a lot of fun, it made me laugh and was an entertaining and engrossing read.
I will surely read the other books in this series and look forward to reading other works by this author.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

This is the third book of a very humorous series. All three of these books often made me laugh out loud. All of the characters are well done and I just love their can do attitude, especially Cynthia who never gives up trying to protect her friends and family.

I just love Cynthia. She is snarky and brave but at times so unsure of herself. She often runs into danger without a plan, even when she is thinking to herself, “ we really need a plan! But there isn’t time for one.” Her relationships with all of her friends are great, although we don’t see them as much in this book as in the others.

Ryan is such a great boyfriend. He really has to put up with a lot of crap with Cynthia being a demon ‘roach’, which means she is immune to many of the things that they can do to other humans. He is always there for her even when she is not so sure about her feelings for him.

There is a bit of a love triangle in this book, which was a carryover from the last one. Peter, who is a demon, is back and as fun as ever. I love how he is always trying to come between Cynthia and Ryan, but he really does get that he will never break them up, but he can always try. He does prove to be more helpful this time around though.

And then of course there is Mr Gabriel. He is the worst, but you have got too give him credit for never giving up and always looking for the loopholes in his agreements with Cynthia. He is truly evil in this book, and I was glad to see him get what he deserves in all of these books.

The plot for this book was a little slow at times. They also spend a lot of time in the demon world which was interesting, but one of the things I liked about these books was the musicals that the kids do and all of the drama that entails. I kind of missed seeing that. The demon world was quite terrifying at times with some interesting and icky demons. The plot was intense at times and often hard to put down.

I believe this to be the last book in the series, but the ending was left open enough that I certainly hope it isn’. If you like lots of laughs with your demon stories then you can’t go wrong with this one.

The best way I can describe this is if Stranger Things met Les Mis. This is a wonderful addition to the young adult genre and gives a more meaningful tale for theater and musical fans.

The Curse of the Evil Librarian ,is an action packed book with lots of demons in every shape, size, or color. It was an enjoyable read.

Well done! The last book in the Evil Librarian trilogy was a truly wonderful read! I became obsessed with this series as soon as I started the first book. Those who haven't read the first two should definitely do so now. I'm a fan of YA and demons, and this series was really amazing. Cynthia and Ryan are really amazing characters, and I am sad this series is over.

What a delightfully good book. This series has come a long way since it is conception and it has done so in such a fantastic way. There are still demons, and the cast of characters, while expanding, also makes sure to highlight and give more depth to the characters all around. That added characterization is what makes the novel so incredibly delightful, and why it continues to be so captivating.

Following Cynthia (fantastic name) who has entered her senior of high school, she is determined to have an excellent [mostly] demon free year. However, of course, given the title, readers are going to see a reappearance of Mr. Gabriel. The way Knudsen continues to bring him back in unique and terrifying ways is incredible. He is the villain who will not stay dead, and it works. It does not come off as redundant or tedious; it has the vitality to it and continues to have this air of creativity and uniqueness to it. This is part of what makes this series so good and a big reason as to why this conclusion is so good.

The story continues to be fresh, that is key here because it has evolved so much from the first novel. Key elements tie this novel in with the previous novels, but here, the adventure of these characters expands. Cynthia and her friends are now bringing the fight to the demons who threaten them, opening an entirely new avenue to be explored by the reader and the storyteller. It adds that tension and builds upon the tension created in the previous novels. Curse of the Evil Librarian ultimately amazingly brings the story full-circle.

There is also well-rounded character development. In Revenge of the Evil Librarian readers got to see more of Ryan, his personality got to shine, but here, Annie gets the chance to shine. She becomes more than just Cyn’s friend who needs to be protected; she becomes a full-fledged and flushed out character in her own right. The dynamics that play in the novel are incredibly well structured, their voices, especially Cyn’s, make the novel so enjoyable because these characters, they play off each other, they develop and learn through the actions and reactions of others. Their powerful voices make them relatable and make the reader love them because they are growing; they are realizing their mistakes and growing from them.

Knudsen writes her story much like a delightful play in the way the characters play off each other, and it works so well in making this novel, let alone this series, such an enjoyable read.

I requested this not knowing it was a sequel, and not at all realizing what the premise was. This book was definitely not for me, but might be good for YA fans of supernatural/fantasy type books. All a little bit silly to me.

This has been a very cute series. It's the right amount of funny, serious and cheesy. Cyn is an awesome MC and I love her dedicated and bravery.
