I'm completely impressed by this author's creativity and imagination!
First...she writes a dark-fantasy debut, "The Bookeaters," about a dying breed of humans who eat books for nourishment and knowledge. Then...she writes an historical fantasy, this one, about an alternate Hong Kong where angry ghosts, ones you can see, walk among the living.
Who thinks up this stuff? I'm absolutely enthralled!!
