Monsters In Our Midst

The third novella in the Pittsburgh Backyard & Garden arc. This story takes place immediately after the events of Chased by Monsters in July while Tinker is still being held prisoner by the oni. Jane Kryskill has so many secrets to keep. There’s the huge one; that Pittsburgh is being besieged by beings from another world, unleashing giant monsters upon the unsuspecting city. There’s the secret that she found and rescued not only her baby sister—kidnapped eight years earlier—but the little tengu boy, Joey Shoji, nephew of the Chosen One. And on the personal side, she’s keeping her upcoming marriage to Taggart from Hal Rogers, star of Pittsburgh Backyard and Garden. Now Nigel Reid has dropped yet another secret on the team—somewhere in the city is a box filled with baby dragons, locked in a magical sleep.
