Half vampire, half fox-spirit, and all trouble, Lady Jing has never belonged anywhere. As the King of Hell's ward, she has spent the past ninety years dodging taunts from vicious courtiers and trying - and failing - to control her temper. So when she overhears the courtiers plotting to steal a priceless pearl, she seizes her chance to expose them. With the help of gentle mortal Tony Lee, Jing embarks on a chase for intel, through Hell and into jazz-age Shanghai. But when her hijinks put Tony in danger, she must decide which is more important: avenging her loss of face, or a chance for tenderness - and maybe even love . . . READERS LOVE SHANGHAI IMMORTAL 'Oh Lady Jing.... she's rude, crude and has had enough of everyone's dabian. I loved her immediately' โญโญโญโญโญ 'I devoured this book in two days, I loved the pace of action, the snarky comments, and the characters in general' โญโญโญโญโญ 'Lots of laugh out loud characterisations and twists on traditional representations of the Celestials and Immortals, Foxes, Dragons and vampires' โญโญโญโญโญ 'This book was so much fun! It's fast, it doesn't take itself too serious, it's amusing. I had such a great time reading this book' โญโญโญโญโญ 'Wow... I am honestly speechless as to how amazed I was throughout the book!!' โญโญโญโญโญ
