Would be 4.5 expect for the unnecessary

romance like there was literally no need. However the actual plot was very interesting and engaging.

I really liked the weretigers, the setting, and the characters (mostly). Would absolutely read another of her books!

This should have been a 4 star at least except I hated Shin šŸ˜‚

Sorry Ji Lin Iā€™m with your mom on this one. Not because of people gossiping about it but bc Shin does the whole Iā€™m-mean-to-you-because-actually-I-love-you thing. šŸ™„ also was so whiny and manipulative at the hotel. That whole convo was alarming babe get outta there

This is the second (audio) book by Yangsze Choo that I've read. Choo is a wonderful story teller - from the first chapter, I am sucked in to the world she has created. There are many similarities between this book and her previous, the Ghost Bride: young, female protagonist; forbidden or tangled love story; journey to the world after death; all masterfully intertwined with Malaysian and Chinese folk lore. The conclusion of the love story in this book did leave me more satisfied than the one in Ghost Bride, as I felt it was more developed, but I still feel that it is emphasized too much over the mystery aspect in some parts. In regards to the central mystery, there were many red herrings and storylines that didn't quite get wrapped up or turn up to have any significance, which I suppose is part of the genre, but there were still some threads that I wish had been more consequential (particularly the final twist).

Second read update: Still a really good book, I love the characters, especially Ren. The romance is AWFUL though, chapter 42 really is just the worst.
