The Librarians and the Lost Lamp (The Librarians #1) by Greg Cox #BookReview

  The story toggles between the past, as Flynn Carsen tries to find Aladdin’s Lamp before an ancient criminal organization known as the Forty Seals gets hold of it, and the future, when Eve Baird and a new group of Librarians — protectors of ancient artifacts like King Arthur’s sword Excalibur — stumble on a mystery in Las Vegas that seems to relate to the Lamp and the powerful djinn it can summon.

In this book we are on a journey that is that the Librarians are tasked with safeguarding mystical and magical books and relic. The particular relic in this book is Aladdin's lamp. The Librarians and the Forty Thieves of legend are competing in the quest to find the powerful relic. I thought that the plot was okay and very typical of a YA fantasy fiction, and has plenty of action to keep you on the edge of your seat. Overall I think that this book was a great read. 

P.S. This book is based on the TNT TV show, The Librarians.
