5 STARS

Wow I have never heard anything around the mythology of China. Just a little bits here and there. It was confusing for me to get it true but sounds like others do to or they mean different things in different regions and different names.

I enjoyed reading about them.
Emma is a kindergarden teacher in Hong Kong from down under. Emma has one private student she teaches english to Simone. Simone father is Mr. Chen a rich powerful man. The proprietor of the school Miss Kwok wants Emma to spy on Mr. Chen. Emma resigns and is offered full time nannie position, which is a livein job for 5000 US dollars a month. Emma wants to recognize what his work is and is it legal. She is told that it is and later you have been here awhile he will assure her.
Simone is a 4 yr old girl, who is magical and loving. Who is activated to make Emma full time nannie. Emma has different lessons she is learning,piano, violin,horseback riding, english, martial arts and demon fighting.
Leo is called a black Lion he is over 6 foot a big black body gaurd. He will protect Simone with his spirit he feels quilty he could not save Simone mother life.
Mr. Chen you read about him the wholly book a short at a time. He is a shen. He is a general lived on the stack thats not on this plain. Till he got Married and stayed humane to take charge and protect Simone. He is part turtle and snake. He is dark Lord. Because he cant go to the deal he is getting weaker and weaker thinks he has two more years left before he will take to lead this field and has no thought how long it will be before he is stiff enough to get second to earth. He is god of martial arts infact he invented most of them.
Emma fits properly in as the nannie but it is driving her crazy not to live who or what Trick does. Who are the badguys. Why are they trying to kidnap Simmone. About 6 months later she is fulltime she learns the chief secrets. She asks to learn martial arts to help protect Simone and herself. She is falling in bed with John but can never be with him without killing herself.
The story draws you into the existence of Chinese gods. They do and see John and to be trained by him. It feels real and natural how the story unfolds it goes in great point of life everyday and education of martial arts and demon fighting. It has a lot of passion between the characters, family bonds, friends bonds and even romantic love. It has a lot of demon fighting and killing. Rich lifestyle, full of mythology of China.
Its a decent size book of 528 pages. Their are two more books in this series cant expect to take them. Would recommend this book. I was granted this ebook in substitution of honest review.
