Fantasy by Susan B. Cogan
In the South China Sea is an island protected by nine dragons. Angie Tanaka has made one of them really, really angry.
Angie is running from the Hong Kong police and pays the captain of a fishing boat to take her … anywhere but here.
Here we go again! Angie Tanaka can't seem to stay out of trouble. She finds herself haunted by a cute little hungry ghost and a not-so-cute demon who has a special hell kept warm just for dragons.
Go to Hell.
It’s such a delicious phrase. Angie Tanaka never thought she’d want to go there herself.
A Victorian London that Never Was ... With Monsters.
In the 19th century, there were new marvels almost every year—steam engines, photography, telegraphs, trains. But after the Great Disaster, everything seems to veer off in another direction. Rumors of wireless communication and electrical energy all die out. The marvels stop. Then another disaster strikes—the assassination of elderly Queen Victoria and two of her sons. For a while, the world collapses into mad chaos. Parliament is dissolved and Queen Victoria’s grandson, Prince Albert becomes the heir apparent. The Regency Committee rules with an iron fist, but they bring peace and order back into the nation. Then, quietly at first, a third disaster. The monsters come. Miriam Walker hunts them.
A young queen must save her kingdom from her crazy, homicidal brother and her ambitious wizard.
Her only hope of saving her people from her enemies is to find the long-lost Heart of the Tengeri, a fabled talisman that contains the strength and power of the empire.
