The book description for The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society by C.M. Waggoner had me eager to dive into the story. Unfortunately, the final product does not match the blurb. The writing makes it difficult to get through the story along with the meandering plot. The author tried to create well-rounded characters by giving them a mixture of traits (I envisioned the author with a bag filled with various traits on slips of paper and she would reach to pick out a selection of traits for each person whether they made sense or not). Of course, later in the story, a character may no longer possess one or several of those traits (it was odd). Despite the authorâ��s attempts, the characters were flat (pancakes are fluffier). I found Sherry to be an enigma. I did not enjoy the silly talk about her hair at the beginning (it did not make me eager to continue reading the book). Sherry is supposed to be smart and observant, who has used her skills to solve other murders that have occurred in the town (this town is going to get a bad reputation). The way this information was written made it seem like there was a book prior to this one. The story was all over the place. It seemed like the author could not decide which genre she wanted for this story (is it a paranormal mystery, cozy mystery, or a thrillerâ�"maybe a combination), so she tried to combine several into one (which did not work). The plot dragged on and on (the snails in my garden move faster). The pop culture references along with the supernatural bits were not needed. The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society is a story that I struggled to finish (I admit to skimming here and there to get to the end). After I finished The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society, I could picture the author with a big pot tossing in various characters, traits, supernatural elements, and genres, giving it a big stir, putting the mixture into the oven, and the final result is her book. As you can tell, The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society was not for me.
