Night Owls (Night Owls, #1) von Lauren M. Roy
I picked this book up initially because a writer friend mentioned it, and it sounded interesting. I enjoyed the author's handling of the vampire ethos and her introduction of other unique elements into the world of the story. The characters are well-drawn and interesting, and the story surprised me several times. Would definitely read another in this series. Great paranormal/urban fantasy reading!
The second book is a set only a few months after the end of the first book and everyone is trying to deal with the changes and losses in their lives. Elly is working for the Stregi, the Boston group of vampires as they are dealing with a turf war. Cavale is tracking down a necromancer that has moved into the neighborhood. And both Elly and Cavale are tiptoeing around talking about their shared childhood, separation and how they will handle the future together as adults. Both story lines blend by the end of the book and bring everyone from the previous books together again and you also learn more about Sunny and Lia as well. Justin is adjusting to being a a vampire with a little extra in the mix of his making A good second book and a book that you can read without reading the first book since you are still finding so much out about these characters.

This is a solid 3.75 beginning to a series
There were unexpected plot twists that kept my interest and, for a series first, it didn't feel like the story was put on hold while the world was being built. The characters are interesting. The author obviously respects the reader by not giving us all we need to know about each character by page 25. Details and nuances are revealed by character deeds.
It is a good read but not a great read, hence the 3.75 stars.

Lots of supernatural action with great characters
I thought this book might suffer from the sophomore curse and not do justice to the first book in the series. Not to worry, this book is great. The story is well thought out and the character's growth is palpable. These are multi-faceted characters in a complex story line. Sooo rare these days and so enjoyable!
