When a call for help from Anastasia takes Kitty, Ben, and Cormac out to San Francisco, things (as expected) go pear shaped.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you told me what was wrong, I might be able to help you.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I can do that.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s a secret\u2014\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cNo. I just don\u2019t think I\u2019m capable of explaining the last five hours to anyone.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think my favorite character in this story is Sun. But then, I’m a sucker for tricksters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a pretty big dog,\u201d Sun said. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a dog, it\u2019s my husband!\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cHuh. That\u2019s progressive.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cShut up, he\u2019s a werewolf, too.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYeah? Hi there.\u201d Sun waved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, I’m a particular fan of Asian mythologies, so I was pretty much bound to enjoy those parts of this book.<\/p>\n

Sun Wukong is a Buddhist hero. Xiwangmu is a Taoist goddess, but they both end up in the same story about the Monkey King stealing the Elixir of Immortality from her.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are also bits about Roman, as that story arc gets more and more threatening.
