The Library of the Unwritten

The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith  382 pp.

Deep in the bowels of Hell is a neutral zone which contains the Library. Claire is the Head Librarian in the Unwritten Books Wing, where all unfinished writings are held until their authors finish them. Her job is to repair damages and age wear as well as keeping track of characters who attempt to escape to find their authors. When the Hero (thereafter given the name Hero) escapes to the realm of Earth, Claire, her assistant/former muse Brevity, and a somewhat bewildered demon named Leto must leave Hell to find him and return him to his book. While there they are attacked by a fallen angel named Ramiel who believes they have the Devil's Bible in their possession. This is the first book in the "Hell's Library" series which blurs the lines between the existence of good and evil. I enjoyed this more than the The Devil's Detective and it doesn't have nearly the gore.
