Mystery

I've got a sackful of secrets, and any one of them would land me in hot water with my employer, the Bureau of Souls. That damn sack gets heavier every day... For my entire life, I've kept the Yokai side of my family private. Thanks to Madara, the magical koi fish who hides my Yokai aura, only my father knows I'm half kitsune. Sure, it sucks leading a life of lies, but I've got things under control. Until I don't. Rifts are appearing in the veil, the magical barrier separating the physical plane from the Yokai home world. Objects are coming alive. People are dying. Par for the course for a Bureau Agent like me.But when Madara starts acting weird after I get too close to a rife, I'm left with two choices: (A) solve the case but reveal my kitsune Y?kai side, or (B) don't solve the case and let a bunch of people die. I really need to find option C. Like, yesterday.

Hunted: Little Yokai Series Book 2

They say no good deed goes unpunished. That goes double when you're in Little Yokai.I've been an agent at the Los Angeles Bureau of Souls office for four years, and I'm one of the best. I ought to be. I'm half Yokai. So trust me when I say I know all about the supernatural entities that spilled into Japan thirty years ago. I'm one of them.But that's a secret I guard like my job and my life depend on it, because they literally do. So when I secretly help a Yokai who winds up dead just hours later, I'm worried about more than just finding her killer. Making matters worse, my Bureau boss tasks me with solving the murder case and assigns me a by-the-book partner who doesn't like me to begin with.Now I'm carrying around a metric ton of guilt and trying to solve this mystery without giving away my Y?kai secret. The smart thing would be to play nice with my partner, mark the case unsolved, and quietly walk away. Guess I'm just not that smart.
