ARC REVIEW The Librarian's Vampire Assistant book 4 by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

The Librarian's Vampire Assistant, book #4

From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes a snarky Mystery with a side dish of Romance and two sprinkles of chaos, THE LIBRARIAN’S VAMPIRE ASSISTANT, Book Four. (Yep! These books are STANDALONES. But the more you read, the merrier!)

SHE’S MINE. BUT HAS SHE FORGOTTEN?

A crazy vampire has stolen my librarian. And if that’s not bad enough, it is my fault. Because I, too, am an ancient, deadly vampire, and it was my job to protect her. I failed.

Now, just as I have reason to hope I will get her back, the situation turns into the biggest mystery of my existence.

Apparently, this evil vampire has brainwashed her into thinking she belongs with him. I do not know how. I do not know why. But I will get to the bottom of this and win her back.

Because I am the motherf*!$%ing librarian’s vampire assistant, and she belongs to me. Or, at least she used to?

Well that just happened. It's a surprising turn of events for Michael that will have you yelling at your book. I kept repeating my MJP mantra "Nothing is as it seems", because really Mimi likes to screw with us that way and then blame it on the characters (I say in a tongue in cheek manner).

In all honesty Michael's dated almost humourless attitude is hysterical and he's so oblivious at times it makes his first person narration even better.

This is technically not a cliffhanger but it's also not a HEA, yet, it does leave a wide open ending for the next book, squeee! I loved this book it is my favorite out of the series so far. Mimi will have you laughing out loud and will have you cursing at Michael, Mr. Nice....Lula... well just about everyone; it's all in good fun and one hell of a story. I stayed up half the night reading it I couldn't put it down.

RELEASE DAY BLITZ The Librarian's Vampire Assistant Book 3 by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

The Librarian's Vampire Assistant, book #3

Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

Synopsis:

From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes an uncomfortably hilarious Mystery with a heaping help of sexual frustration, THE LIBRARIAN’S VAMPIRE ASSISTANT, Book Three. (Yep! It’s a STAND-ALONE. But why not read them all because…fun!)

FALLING IN LOVE WITH A LIBRARIAN JUST CAN’T GET MORE AWKWARD…
Michael Vanderhorst is not your usual vampire. For starters, he works in a library, is in love with Miriam, his hot nerdy human boss who has no clue what he is, and he looks like a college student.

In reality, Michael is an ancient deadly vampire, an ex-assassin, and is currently the de facto king of his kind ever since their ruling party disappeared. To where? He doesn’t know, but if he wants his life back, he’ll have to find out. (Mystery!) Especially because a civil war is brewing, and being king makes his librarian a mark for his enemies. She is, after all, his biggest weakness.

With a global uprising about to explode, Michael must give her the protection of his army. Only one problem: She must become his queen first. But every attempt he makes to tell her the truth is met with extreme hostility. “Vampires aren’t real. That’s crazy talk, Michael!”

Clearly, the topic frightens her. With time running out and her life on the line, Michael is left with one option: Marry her. Without her knowing.

Can he pull it off? And what will happen when the fight comes to their door?

Book three jumps right in where book two left off. For newcomers they might be a little lost when they first start the book but Michael's narration plays well and he recaps in his own way while trying to figure out the mystery plot. It's not a true cliffhanger at the end either, the big mystery is solved but she leaves it wide open for another book (one she must write as quickly as possible!!!!)

Mimi continues to write comical and zanie hijinks for Michael and the moment we have all been waiting for has finally happened. Mr. Nice is his usual 80's goth band vampire self only this time he has developed a fascination with Miriam. Micheal not knowing who to trust has started to make unpredictable decision but it doesn't seem to matter where ever he goes there are traders in the shadows.

Overall, Mimi once again takes us on quite a ride as the story continues and doesn't seem to lose it's momentum, from start to finish it's non-stop vampire hijinks, double dealings, and incomprehensible lisping. Twists and turns, red herrings and misdirection make this vampire mystery one I didn't even bother trying to guess because I knew I would be wrong. A fantastically funny and mysterious read, I loved it.

ARC REVIEW The Librarian's Vampire Assistant Book 2 by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

comes a humorous, standalone mystery,

The Librarian’s Vampire Assistant, Book 2.
(Yep! It’s a standalone. The boring title is just to mess with you!)

HOW MUCH LONGER CAN HE KEEP HIS SECRET AND HIS FAVORITE HUMAN SAFE?
Michael Vanderhorst has always been a lone wolf. Or lone vampire? Whatever. Point is, this ancient gentleman vampire is obsessed. She’s quirky, a horrible dresser, and the cutest librarian he’s ever seen. The question is, why her? In four hundred years, no one has ever captured his attention like this. He must find out, which is why he just signed on as her new assistant.

The problem is, she has no idea vampires exist or that she’s just broken one of their laws. As the leader of his territory, Michael has been ordered by his council to turn her or kill her. “Over my dead body!”

To overturn the ruling, Michael needs the council on his side, and right now they’re asking him to hunt down and execute five hundred vampires no one can seem to locate. Unfortunately, his assassin days are long over, and he’s not so sure he can go back to killing.

But with Miriam’s life on the line and their unusual bond growing stronger each day, will he dust off the old sword or give her the bite that will make her his forever?

I think this book is possible more fucked up than the first, and I mean that in the best possible way. Poor Michael, first he's charged with finding 500 illegal newbie vampires and the first vampire to be in charge of two territories to top it all off he has to tell Miriam, the accidental prone librarian he is strangely fascinated with, the truth about what he is and *takes in a deep breath* that Mr. Nice the cliched looking the head of the Vampire Council expects him to turn her and for there to be a wedding between the two of them any day now. Unfortunately Michael has made little headway in to finding the missing vampires, it's as if they just vanished and he's trying to figure out a way to stall Mr. Nice about Miriam because he likes her the way she is, human, and he doesn't want to marry her he doesn't love her (the vampire doth protest too much). Just when Michael starts making headway on the missing vamps someone attempts to kidnap Miriam and kill Michael. As per usual with any Mimi books when the shit starts it hits the fan at full speed.

Overall, this book was hysterical! When I wasn't LMAO I was holding my breath in anticipation of what would happen next. Mimi has seriously surpassed her own level of "Lets fuck with the characters and the readers". This is a first person POV through Michael's eyes it's a great narrative. The conflict is completely resolved in this book so it's technically not a cliffhanger but the last chapter is the giant ass of Mr. T. Zer. (It's a teaser!) But that's also good news you know why?? That means BOOK 3!!!

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.
