The Little Yokai Series
“They say no good deed goes unpunished. That went double for Little Yokai.”
In a world where the Japanese supernatural spirits known as Yokai wander the physical plane, Bureau of Souls Agent Keiko Miller has an oath to protect the innocent and bring justice to the guilty. She also has a secret of her own: she's part Yokai. She'll have to protect that secret like her job and her life depend on it, because they do.
My name is Keiko Miller. 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 part 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.
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.
I'm on the hunt for a serial killer stalking the Yokai of Los Angeles - and the killer might just be a fellow Bureau of Souls agent. But I need to move fast. The deeper I dig into this case, the more it feels like someone is out to frame me as the rogue agent.
After a simple prisoner transport turns deadly, I'm on the run and off the grid with a Yokai suspect under my protection. The Bureau and Vigilance both want the suspect back in their custody. Several Yokai want the suspect dead. I want to know who double-crossed me.
As much as I don’t like it, I’m about to put my life in the hands of a Yokai I know I can’t trust. I should be arresting him - instead, I’m counting on his help. And I'll need it to keep my Yokai side secret. After years of living two lives, I may finally have to choose one of them - and that choice will cost me everything I care about.
After years of living a double life and hiding behind my mortal identity, I may finally have the chance to save my mother, reunite my parents, and reveal my kitsune side to the world. That is, if I'm willing to help a crime boss who’s wanted by the Bureau and almost the entire gokudo network.
