Night Owls by A.R. Vishny is the story of two folkloric Jewish monsters, Estries, who run a theater on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Clara loves rules. Rules are what have kept her and her
sister, Molly, alive—or, rather, undead—for over a century. Work their historic
movie theater by day. Shift into an owl under the cover of night. Feed on men
in secret. And never fall in love.
Molly is in love. And she’s tired of keeping her girlfriend, Anat, a
secret. If Clara won’t agree to bend their rules a little, then she will bend
them herself.
Boaz is cursed. He can’t walk two city blocks without being cornered by
something undead. At least at work at the theater, he gets to flirt with Clara,
wishing she would like him back.
When Anat vanishes and New York’s monstrous underworld emerges from the
shadows, Clara suspects Boaz, their annoyingly cute box office attendant, might
be behind it all.
But if they are to find Anat, they will need to work together to face demons
and the hungers they would sooner bury. Clara will have to break all her
rules—of love, of life, and of death itself before her rules break everyone
she loves.
Vishny has written an amazing genreblend of mystery, historical folklore, New York history, romance and more. Read this book!
