Shanghai Immortal
by A.Y. Chao
Shanghai Immortal follows Lady Jing as she seeks to expose a plot to steal a dragon pearl from the king of Hell. Her escapades take her through both Hell and mortal Shanghai in search of information to prove the hulijing courtiers are behind the plot.

Chao has crafted a tale that will grip you from the first page and will keep you enthralled long after the conclusion. Lady Jing will put you through the emotional wringer. One minute you’ll be laughing out loud at Lady Jing’s antics and the next you’ll be tearing up when you realize what all she has experienced in life. I love the comedic edge Chao has woven throughout Lady Jing’s investigation. I equally love how Chao manages to bring a softer edge to Lady Jing through her choice in books to purchase during her shopping excursion and love of sea salt caramels. One of my other favorite aspects of Shanghai Immortals is the friendship between Lady Jing and Gigi.
✨
✨
If I had to find one fault with Shanghai Immortal it would be some of the language is repetitive. However, it isn’t to the point where I would find it distracting.
