ARC REVIEW The Librarian's Vampire Assistant by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff


The Librarian’s Vampire Assistant 


 Mimi Jean Pamfiloff 


Series Name (or Stand Alone???): The Librarian’s Vampire Assistant 

Genre: Cozy Vampire Mystery 







From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes a Horribly Sunny Mystery, The Librarian’s Vampire Assistant.

NOBODY MESSES WITH HIS LIBRARIAN. . .

Who killed Michael Vanderhorst’s maker? It’s a darn good question. But when the trail brings Michael to hellishly sunny Phoenix, Arizona, his biggest problem soon becomes a cute little librarian he can’t seem to stay away from. He’s never met a bigger danger magnet! Even her book cart has it out for her. And is that the drug cartel following her around, too? “Dear God, woman! What have you gotten yourself into?”

Things go from bad to worse when local vampires won’t play nice.

Can this four-hundred-year-old vampire keep his librarian safe and himself out of hot water? Can he bring his maker’s killer to justice? Yesterday, he would’ve said yes. But yesterday, he didn’t have a strange connection with a librarian. Yesterday, people weren’t trying to kill her.





Mimi has done it again she has taken one genre of books and twisted it in such a way she has made it her own. This cozy vampire mystery is very different from what she has written before but is still very classic Mimi with all the surprise twists, turns, foul language, sassy women, and brooding men. 

Michael would have preferred to be anywhere but sunny Phoenix, Arizona but his best friend/brother/father figure/maker was killed and he's there to pick up what's left of him not only that but he's not satisfied as to how long the investigation is taking so with the help of his plucky smartass assistant, Lula, he aims to find out. Now if he could only stop getting distracted by a certain librarian he could get down to the bottom of it, or not. Michael is an absolute book snob and coffee fiend with a hilarious narrative. Lula his lowly assistant is such a typical Mimi character she reminds me of Cimil except not quite batshit crazy or evil.  

I love that this is in Michael narrative (first person POV). Usually with cozy mystery or vampire books it all in the woman's POV as she learns about vampires and tries to solve whatever the mystery is. But in this Michael, the vampire, is trying to solve the mystery and that just happens to be the plain ordinary human librarian as well as finding who killed his maker. This is a complete story no cliffhanger but she does leave it open for another book, hopefully more than that.
