Winnie Zeng Vanquishes a King by Katie Zhao

5.0

I loved book one in this series and was really excited to read more of Winnie’s adventures. This one picks up not long after the events of the first book and it looks like there won’t be any breaks for Winnie and David and the town of Groton from spirits trying to wreak havoc. Winnie and David might be in over their heads though as rookie agents up against a mysterious spirit that no one can sense or has much info on. The Shaman Taskforce decides to bring in some backup from the big city to help them contain this new class three spirit especially as Halloween approaches when the spirits will be even stronger. Winnie and David will have to work together and with this newcomer in order to take on the big bad and that seems like it is easier said than done.

I love Winnie’s quick wit and humour in these books and found myself laughing while reading which always an extra star for rating for me. I enjoyed the lead up and wondering who it could be that was lurking in the shadows and when it’s revealed, definitely great! The battle was great but what was revealed was even more awesome. Looks like the shamans are going to be facing something bigger and badder in the future and I can’t wait to find out what.

I also have to say the cover art and design of the book is amazing as well!
