Books like Nightlife by Rob Thurman
When night falls in New York City, monsters are already out. Cal Leandros, whose father belongs to an ancient supernatural bloodline, has lived half of his life in the shadows of the city’s most iconic locations—from a troll beneath the Brooklyn Bridge to a vampire on the Upper East Side. For three years, Cal and his half‑brother Niko have outsmarted their enemies, keeping their family safe. But the hunters have returned, and Cal’s unique heritage makes him the key to unleashing a chaos that could end the human world. Now he must learn why his family has always been targeted and fight to protect both his world and the one he was born into.
