THERE’S NO HELL LIKE FAMILY.
As Minister of Hell, all Lady Jing wants is to escape yin Shanghai and spend time with her mortal beau Tony Lee.
So when a visiting Irish deity turns up drained of qi and desperate for passage to his pantheon’s healer in Paris, Lady Jing is happy to oblige; she turns the trip into an impromptu holiday for her, Tony, and their friends Gigi and Ah Lang.
But Jing’s holidays are cursed. When her train is hijacked by vampires, Jing comes face to face with her scheming grandmother – and is drawn into a tangled web of dangerous secrets and warring loyalties, where following her heart could cost her the ones she loves . . .
