Owl and the Tiger Thieves (The Adventures of Owl Book 4)
The Silk Road was an ancient trade route paved with fortunes and tears in equal measure - the tears part mostly from the very distinct chance of being gutted by an opportunistic supernatural lying in wait.
And somewhere amongst the trade cities lost to the ages the Tiger Thieves, assassins and thieves who once guarded the Silk Road against the supernatural monsters that preyed on ancient caravans, still hide.
Shame no one has seen one of them in over five hundred years, since they're the only ones who might be able help Owl stop the reign of Electric Samurai and the descent of the world into supernatural chaos in all its eviscerating glory.
From a Peruvian jail to Venice and all the way to Timbuktu, Owl searches for The Tiger Thieves in the hopes of convincing them to help her - all while fetching artifacts and weapons for Mr Kurosawa's brewing supernatural war. Considering friendly and diplomatic negotiations aren't exactly Owl's strong suit she has her work cut out for her this time ...And her companion on this adventure leaves a lot to be desired and little to trust.
Poking a tiger is never a good idea and tangling with the ancient assassins will take everything Owl has - and force her to decide whether she's a wayward archaeologist or just another cold-hearted thief.

Every five years, they uproot and move to a new place. And then there's the one thing that sets her apart from everyone else: she can teleport. In the Six Kingdoms, creatures known as "Travelers"-those who can cross between realms-are believed to be long extinct. But Emily is living proof that the legends are wrong. She has inherited a rare and powerful gift, one that once belonged to her mother. Yet, this ability is dangerous, a secret that must be kept at all costs.

Deadly Silent | Book 2
[BOOK TWO] "Anniversaries to some are like counting the years spent doing something great, years spent together, or years spent alive." I started slowly, voice dropping to a drawl as I peeked cautiously out of my bedroom blinds, scanning the road to see if there was a cloaked figure watching my every movement. "I view anniversaries as counting down the days till death finds me." *** After the events of her wonderfully packed 21st birthday, Addison was ready to retire back into her home and never again see the light of day. It wasn't a totally bad idea. After all, her family's generations-old riches was enough to tide her over until the day her past finally catches on, and until that day finally arrives, she had no intention to step out of her front door. And to think the last time she did, she ended up in the game of cat and mouse with a cynical hooded spirit that wanted her dead and her soul in a glass bottle for his own little sadistic collection. Silence had followed the whole year after the disastrous party. For nearly 365 days, Addison had no trouble with unwanted evil celestial beings lurking around her house in an attempt to take her soul away with a world-stopping kiss. However, the silence was too often, and the world had become too quiet. Reason being? Apparently, Death's new move was to kidnap her best friend Minnie Hoover in an attempt to bait her down to hell itself. Life became much quieter without one-third of her little clique. And so Addison ventured away from the safety of her home, in search of her best friend. After all, silence creeps the heart just as death does, and the world was now deadly silent. ***** Highest Rank Fantasy: #9 Highest Rank Teen Fiction: #77Complete
