Summary

A mysterious archive. A powerful enemy. And a cunning plan.

Danger is part of the day job for a Librarian spy. So Irene’s hoping for a relaxing weekend. However, her jaunt to Guernsey proves no such thing. Instead of retrieving a rare book, she’s almost assassinated, Kai is poisoned and Vale barely escapes with his life. Then the attacks continue in London – targeting those connected with the Fae-dragon peace treaty.

Irene knows she must stop the plot before the treaty fails. Or someone dies. But when Irene and friends are trapped underground, in a secret archive, things don’t look so good. Then an old enemy demands vengeance, and a shocking secret is revealed. Can Irene really seize victory from chaos?

The Dark Archive is the seventh book in the Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman. Genevieve is also the author of the Sunday Times bestselling Scarlet - which reimagines the tale of the Scarlet Pimpernel, but with vampires, mages and magic. . .

I love these books

Great Narrator for all ages male and female, unbeleible talent!
These characters are so known to the reader/listener that they become favourites.
The New Character to the library also is very likable despite the fact she's a phay and very younge however she tuurnns out to be far more honest then expect.
I can't wait wait until my next book.

Thank goodness they changed the narrator!

Genevieve Cogman’s books are always 4 or 5 stars in my opinion. But until now, I stayed away from the audiobooks because the narration was dreadful.
I was so happy to discover that there was a new narrator! Kristin Atherton does a brilliant job of bringing the characters to life.
I can’t wait for the next!

Baffled by other reviews

Really don’t understand why other reviewers mention the narration so much. I have been fortunate enough that I have heard whole series read by Kristin Atherton, her performance was first rate as always. Another captivating story from the library. Can’t wait for the next one. Really hoping there will be many many more to come.
Also think the series would make an amazing series or movie, but for now I will enjoy the books in a state of nervous anticipation.

Great Story

Great storytelling, I liked the characters and the world created, it allows for an interesting alternative perspective on cities we know in our world ...but with magic. Light-hearted and fun.

More twists and 'oohs'.

Another triumph in this series of books. the characters have grown, the secrets and twists are all we need to hook us to the next book.

Great stoyy

This is a fun story and easy listening, but the narration is a little overdone sometimes.

Excellent writer and narrator combo!!

I LOVE these enthralling books by Genevieve Cogman. Full of adventure, twists and escapades. I am devouring each book in the series. The choice of Kristin Atherton as narrator is perfect. She is extremely talented and brings all the characters to life.
Next book please!
