I was
first drawn to this book by the cover especially the dragon overlay. The story
follows Missy Masters, a vigilante hero who assumes the guise of Mr. Mystic
which was her grandfather's legacy. She roams the city correcting wrongs when
she can, but there's more to Missy than her control of Shadows. To truly come
into her powers, Missy travels to China, falls in love with her teacher Lung
Haung, and becomes embroiled in politics of the nine dragon guardians of
creation.
Ms. Helms
tells the story in the "now" and "then" to let the reader
understand what events have shaped Missy and how because of her very existence,
the dragon guardians are warring. I thoroughly enjoyed the "then"
chapters. They were steeped in Chinese dragon guardian lore and the story moved
along with intrigue and suspense. The "now" China is in trouble and
it's up to Missy to walk the minefield that is dragon guardian territory if she
has any hopes of saving the world. Will she be able to match wits with
creatures older than creation itself? Fans of fantasy will thoroughly enjoy
this tale. Highly Recommended.
I received
a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
