Night Owls by Lauren M. Roy
4.0
3.5 stars
These days whenever I read a book, especially an urban fantasy novel, and there are no love triangles, I want to clap my hands and do a little dance.
Night Owls made me dance. No triangles, no romantic entanglements, just a solid plot with a decent storyline and believable characters. Additionally, it has vampires who work in bookstores which makes me incredibly happy down in my literary soul.
While this novel wasn't the most polished thing I've read lately it seemed to have a little something extra that the run of the mill supernatural books have been lacking. I can't quite put my finger on what that something is, but I can say that I'm looking forward to reading the sequel.
2023 update
I had forgotten much of this book in the past 8 years but remember enjoying it. Rereading it was even more enjoyable than the first read- interesting characters, vampire politics, and fast paced action. I truly wish the author had written more than two books in this series.
