Paris Celestial

Shanghai Immortal, Book 2

Now a Minister of Hell, Lady Jing is mind-numbingly bored. All she wants is to escape yin Shanghai and spend time with her mortal beau Tony Lee. So when a visiting Irish deity turns up boneless and drained of qi, Jing offers to deliver him to his pantheon's healer in Paris.

Accompanied by Tony and her friends Gigi and Ah Lang, Jing plans to turn the trip into an impromptu holiday. But Jing's trips seem to be cursed. Last time she left yin Shanghai, her hulijing grandmother abducted her. This time, vampires hijack her train because her other grandmother has designs on her friends.

And as Jing and her friends are drawn into the vampires' schemes, soon Jing is faced with an impossible choice: the family she was born to, or the family she has found along the way . . .©2025 A. Y. Chao
