Night owls

Clara loves rules. Rules are what have kept her and her sister, Molly, alive -- or, rather, undead -- for over a century. Work their historic movie theater by day. Shift into an owl under the cover of night. Feed on men in secret. And never fall in love. Molly is in love. And she's tired of keeping her girlfriend, Anat, a secret. If Clara won't agree to bend their rules a little, then she will bend them herself. Boaz is cursed. He can't walk two city blocks without being cornered by something undead. At least at work at the theater, he gets to flirt with Clara, wishing she would like him back. When Anat vanishes, and New York's monstrous underworld emerges from the shadows, Clara suspects Boaz, their annoyingly cute box office attendant, might be behind it all. But if they are to find Anat, they will need to work together to face down demons and the hungers they would sooner bury. Clara will have to break all her rules -- of love, of life, and of death itself -- before her rules break everyone she loves.

Last exit to Feral

little town. underground.
"A creepy creature in a creepy well in the creepy basement of a creepy old house isn't all that's creepy in the small town of Feral. Tying together and continuing several tales from 'Welcome to Feral' (2022), the search for the ghost of a long-vanished teacher leads intrepid young investigators Freya and Monica to free children trapped in a haunted playground, the even more haunted middle school basement, and other sinister locales. They also explore a labyrinth of spooky tunnels, resulting in encounters with a hulking "franken-farmer," a hideous witch who is eager to turn children into rats, and other subterranean terrors on the way to a climactic struggle with a raving, tentacled well monster"--Kirkus reviews.
