Shanghai Immortal | A. Y. Chao

Adult #FairyLoot signed Special Edition. Digitally sprayed edges all around. Different artwork on the end papers. Foil on the front cover and spine. This also came with an art card with a girl who‘s similar to the girl in the couple in the end papers. This is an anticipated read for 2023!!

June's Adult Fantasy FairyLoot is here! This book is a total mystery for me, but I'm excited to learn more. Love the sprayed edges.

RosePressedPages That cover and sprayed edges are GORGEOUS😱❤️ 10mo

Paranormal/mythological Urban Fantasy #Romance in Jazz Age Shanghai?

MC reads like a spoilt teenager. Not even her childhood trauma can or should excuse her behaviour. Levity by adding flowery curse words that only increase the sense of immaturity.

The romance was bland.

It read like a teenager told a story to impress their besties.

It has a stunning cover though.

RaeLovesToRead I saw the use of the word "sasshole" in the blurb and at that point surmised it may not be for me ??? 10mo

LibrarianRyan that sucks!! I had high hopes for this one. 10mo

TrishB Noooooo, oh I love this cover too. 10mo

Sunday morning reading.

Finishing the ARC today.

TrishB And? I have this on my to buy on holiday list. 10mo

julesG @TrishB I'm not sure where it's going. So far I've learned a lot about the Chinese/Shanghai Court of Hell, Fox Spirits, Half-Vampires (they don't sparkle in the sun), clothing at court and in mortal Shanghai circa 1938... I'm not sure whether this is going to be a romance or a quest. The quest-purpose-element was taken out of the equation at around 35%. I'll let you know later on whether it's a "cover buy" or 99p-deal or well worth getting the HB 10mo

TrishB I nearly brought the gorgeous Goldsboro one last night! 10mo

Andrew65 What a great way to spend Sunday. Hope you have a great day. 😁 10mo

GingerAntics You look so comfy out there! 10mo

julesG @GingerAntics I'm still glad I got the hammock-seat. It's comfortable and (!) the cat doesn't like it, so she won't climb onto me for once. 😁😁 10mo

julesG @TrishB Wait for the 99p deal. 10mo

GingerAntics Oh wow, it is always hard finding things that cat doesn‘t like. It seems like they‘re into anything we like. 10mo

#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

Listening to The Bride Test and reading Shanghai Immortal. #GhostCat has set the mood for the weekend. Today was busy, but we intend to do nothing but reading tomorrow.

I like The Bride Test, maybe more than The Kiss Quotient

Shanghai Immortal is a fascinating and weird story. Vampires, hulijing, roosters,... Looking forward to where it's going

I wanted to like this so much, but it‘s a hot mess. I was hoping for Daughter of the Moon Goddess and instead this was dreadful.
