The Night Owls
by A.R. Vishny
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
A vampire rom-com thriller steeped in Jewish folklore that is unapologetically itself. The sister bond between Clara and Molly anchors everything, the enemies-to-lovers tension between Clara and Boaz crackles, and the Sapphic subplot is tender. Plus, estries (owl-shifting vampires) and sheydim (chicken-footed demons) are way cooler than your standard paranormal fare.
