Jim likes a girl. The problem is that Jim is too Alpha to make the first move. Moreover as the Pack Leader of the were-cats and head of Security for Curran the Beast Lord, he can be easily accused of taking advantage of his position. 
 Dali likes a boy. The problem is that were-tigress Dali is vegetarian, almost blind and too unattractive to make the first move. A brain with glasses she describes herself. 
 One day Jim is in trouble. Being at the wrong place the wrong time, he has been infected with something hideous that is eating Jim's soul and magic. Jim keeps falling asleep and as a final result he will die. 
 Dali will not allow an evil spirit to steal Jim from her. Jim is hers, nobody else could have him! 
 The living, breathing golden snail (KEONG EMAS) is the only thing that can help Jim. Dali will not hesitate to risk her life to find it for him. She has to visit the Underground, the most dangerous place in Atlanta for shifters and buy it. 
 Then, Dali will have to fight JOROGUMO, the Biding Maiden, the whore spider and get Jim out from her spiderweb. It is a good thing that Dali is a clever girl and very good in riddles. 
 Jim's and Dali's future will look bright. 
 There is also the addition of another interesting character in Kate Daniels' world: A SUANMI (i.e. the son of the dragon), from which Dali will save. 
 I loved the book! It features weird and wonderful creatures from Asian mythology - especially from Japanese mythology. 
 I have a good knowledge of Greek mythology and I have noticed that the references and the descriptions in the previous books concerning the creatures from Greek mythology are perfectly accurate. 
 Thus, I am absolutely positive that all the descriptions of the Asian mythological creatures in this book must be also exactly right. The author must have done a lot of homework for these books.
