"I don’t think I could be blamed for being slow on the uptake. It isn’t like one gets conscripted as a demon hunter on the reg."

Fun, action-packed fantasy that brings Chinese folklore to the modern Bay Area in the style of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Genie is just trying to ace school, volleyball, and the Harvard admissions process but, okay, guess she'll fight raging demons with an egocentric almost-god in her spare time.

Excellent for snarky, smart teens who want snarky, smart main characters and kick-ass adventure without a ton of romance drama.

"Genie Lo, caring about strangers, bearing the weight of the world? No one was more surprised than me."
