How would you get glasses if you had ghost eyes? I mean do you tell the doctor, "Hey, everything seems otherworldly and dead?" Do you get holy water drops? Ah, the burning!...Well, now quit squirming that's the exorcism working....Anyway, this fantasy novel is set in olden times Chinatown. Our lady, Li-Lin, is a Daoist priestess and just so happens to be a kung fu expert. Cool, cool. Her "yin eyes" are her ability to see otherworldly spirits which comes in handy as she is an exorcist. There are some fun otherworldly creatures in this...I like a lovable creature that may be a monster. I am also a sucker for any Golem like creature. I like them whether they be the idiot robot type, the misunderstood Pinocchio type, or the Crap! it's Godzilla! destructo type.
M.H. Boroson has a Religion degree and a background in Mandarin (the martial arts descriptions he picked up from the movies). This book is researched and it shows. I must admit that if you put a ghost cat in anything I'll like it. More ghost cat in the sequel please! Must...resist...cat...pun...ahhhh, DID IT. Hey this is a good little fantasy novel and lets give those Religious Studies people some love (and work).
This sounds appropriate: Red Lotus Cocktail: Fill a Tom Collins glass with ice. Mix 1.5 ounces of lychee liquor, 1.5 ounces of vodka and 1.5 ounces of cranberry juice. Stir. I would garnish with a lychee fruit if you can find one. C'mon Spring!
