Owl and the Japanese Circus by Kristi Charish
4.0
Loved this nerd infused urban fantasy action filled romance touched tale. It hit all my fun times buttons, dragons, incubuses, vampires, elves, ghosts, all kinds of para-things plus gammers, hackers and archeologists. I never had a meh moment, I enjoyed the heck out of this one. Fun.
Owl is a thief, she is a good thief which is how she got into her present predicament working for a dragon. She was a promising archeology student till something went bad. It got worse she did a job for some vampires and well now they want her dead, permanently. She lives in her van driving from place to place with her smart kitty trying to stay off the grid. Then one day she gets an offer she can’t refuse from a dragon who offers to get the vampires off her back if she works for him, or he’ll just end her. She does what anyone would do she takes the job, and drags her friends in for fun and adventure. They have to find something so hidden it just might be impossible.
Owl is smart but she is not the most observant when it comes to spotting the others in the world. She seems to suffer from TSTL moments but she really doesn’t, she just didn’t see it. She’s not good with people and overlooks the elephant right in front of her sometimes. She is a major gammer, has a need to unwind at her controls daily but even that has some big surprises for her. This poor girl has her world shaken violently not stirred.
Great side characters, interesting unusual and full of snark. Captain, her cat stole scenes away from all of them. He is a rock star of the cat world !
Cliffhanger soft ending. I can’t wait for the next book.
