I will admit to being bored with this book until about halfway through then the action and the tension kicked up and kept me reading until the last page. It got bogged down in old Chinese politics (sort of) and since this isn't a subject I willingly follow, totally lost my interest.

An ancient enemy of Grandmother Yu is in town and terrorizing everyone. Enter Sun Mtzo (Sam), the black dragon who is "friends" with Grandmother and somehow family of Lily. In and around the trouble with the Chimei, Lily still works on FBI cases and Rule manages to handle two mantles. There is a background story of the wedding preparations and Lily's refusal to set a date. So there is a lot going on and yet it totally lost my attention. I had to put this book down and read two others before I could continue again. Though I am glad that I did as it was definitely a story that needed telling to continue the series. Lily and Rule are still not married and I'm sure that will be a book in itself. I'm sincerely hoping that the next book doesn't focus on Chinese politics or whatever it was.
