Lightning review at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books 
 The Girl With Ghost Eyes starts just before a fight begins, and it just keeps going. In this action packed story, Li-lin is a young Chinese widow who has the ability to see the spirit world and who has been trained in kung fu as well as magic. She is drawn into magical intrigue when she must protect her father and the people of San Francisco's Chinatown from an attack that combines magical and mundane threats. 
 There's only the teeniest hint of romance in this story. However, it's a great paranormal/fantasy in a historical urban setting that focuses on a group of people too often ignored in history and in non-fiction. And Li-lin is a wonderful heroine: smart, determined, and struggling against all kinds of barriers including her own sense of self. I'm very much hoping that Li-lin and her floating eyeball friend will return in a sequel.
