GALAXY BOOKSELLER PICK ----- My dad brought home White Tiger in 2006, and I was hooked. The Dark Heavens Trilogy was my first foray into Asian mythology (aside from the odd Chinese dragon appearance) and I was instantly intrigued. The story follows Emma, an Australian English teacher in Hong Kong, who quits her job and is then hired on as a nanny by the mysterious and wealthy Mr John Chen. Secrets about in the Chen household and little things begin to add up, why does John carry a sword around? How can Simone, his 6 year old daughter, always tell where John is? And what is with the household’s obsession with martial arts? Emma quickly gets caught up in John’s crazy world of Chinese gods and demons. With a bounty on John’s head (literally), kidnapping and martial arts battles abound. Fast paced and action packed this trilogy is a kick-ass ride that will leave you starving for more. ~ Chrissi
