Night Roll by Michael J. DeLuca

It starts when her neighbor asks her if he could borrow her bike to join the Night Roll and never comes back.
We have a young mother, a single mother, who just moved to Detroit and doesn't really know anybody, apart from Virgil, her neighbor who comes to share gossip and keep company - until he doesn't. He never returns from the bike tour, and Aileen tries to gather information which finally makes her go out and make some friends.
I liked this one. We only have a few pages, but there still is a plot, worldbuilding, character developement. I have no idea about the urban myths of Detroit, if there is the story of the Elf, but I might look into it one day. Today, I have too much left to read to venture there.
If you want a short bit of magic in an urban setting, look no further.
I recieved a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.
