"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Title: Owl and the Japanese Circus
Series: Adventures of Owl 1
Author: Kristi Charish
Expected Publication: January 13, 2015
Summary:
Ex-archaeology grad student turned international antiquities thief, Alix—better known now as Owl—has one rule. No supernatural jobs. Ever. Until she crosses paths with Mr. Kurosawa, a red dragon who owns and runs the Japanese Circus Casino in Las Vegas. He insists Owl retrieve an artifact stolen three thousand years ago, and makes her an offer she can’t refuse: he’ll get rid of a pack of vampires that want her dead. A dragon is about the only entity on the planet that can deliver on Owl’s vampire problem – and let’s face it, dragons are known to eat the odd thief.
Owl retraces the steps of Mr. Kurosawa’s ancient thief from Japan to Bali with the help of her best friend, Nadya, and an attractive mercenary. As it turns out though, finding the scroll is the least of her worries. When she figures out one of Mr. Kurosawa’s trusted advisors is orchestrating a plan to use a weapon powerful enough to wipe out a city, things go to hell in a hand basket fast… and Owl has to pick sides.
Why I am lurking on this: It sounds a little much, but that just makes it the right kind of Indiana Jane adventure, I think. Dragons, vamps, and a hunt -- sounds great. And Owl just sounds kickass. Author Kristi Charish approached me for a review, and I'm looking forward to dig into the story soon!
Yeah, sounds like it has a bit of everything in there, haha. But it does sound good! 🙂
