Absolutely bonkers world-building (in the best possible way) brings the Hart & Mercy trilogy to a wonderful end. Rosie Fox is world-weary and stuck in a rut as a Tanrian Marshal. No surprise there, as she's a a 6 1/2 ft tall immortal demigod with garnet colored eyes who's tired of seeing everyone she loves die. So when she electrocutes herself touching a live-wire (after unsuccessfully thumping a transit portal to get it working), it's just another painful and fatal day at work.

Then Dr. Adam Lee, inventor of the portal used by travelers in the world of the New Gods, arrives to fix his invention and Rosie's world is upended. The "pocket-sized" humorless man with his bespoke suits and polished manner was just made to be messed with. Marshal Fox is here for it, until Adam and Rosie find themselves stranded with an unworkable portal, a landscape shaped by…

What is this book about?

From the author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy comes a new heartwarming fantasy rom-com with an opposites-attract twist set in the delightful, donut- and dragon-filled world of Tanria. 

Immortal demigod Rosie Fox has been patrolling Tanria for decades, but lately, the job has been losing its luster. When Rosie dies (again) by electrocution (again) after poking around inside a portal choked with shadowy thorns, she feels stuck in the rut that is her unending life.

Darlene Marshall Why Darlene loves this book

This is a novel that I wish had been available when I was a teen, when YA books for Jewish teens were mostly sad Holocaust tales. Important books, but not always what a teen wants to read. Night Owls instead is a wonderful, romantic vampire story that draws heavily on Jewish folklore, both Ashkenazi (Eastern European) and Middle Eastern (Syrian). At its core it's a love letter to Yiddish theater on New York's 2nd Avenue, an art that peaked in the early 20th century and produced stars who went on to mainstream theater and film.

Clara and Molly (once herself a star of the Yiddish theater), were turned into estries, vampire owls, at the moment of their deaths at the hands of men. They created a found family and Clara's the big sister, constantly on-guard against discovery, while Molly is the risk taker. When Molly's girlfriend Anat comes back into…
