Every girl has her price . . . To Steph, working as a bar hostess in Japan sounds too good to be true. Friends say she can earn a fortune simply by flirting with drunk businessmen, and there's no sex involved - honest. Old friends, Julia and Annabel, are earning piles of cash in Tokyo and say hostessing is perfectly safe. But once in Japan, Steph realises Julia is a shadow of her former self and Annabel has disappeared. No one cares that Annabel's gone - least of all a troubled and secretive Julia. As Steph searches for her missing friend, she is lured into gritty, glamorous Roppongi - an exotic world of sex, modern-day geishas and easy money. There she meets Mama San, a charismatic and powerful hostess club owner, who has worked in the shadowy Japanese sex industry all her life and knows everything about pleasing men. But the longer Steph stays in Tokyo's sex district, the less finding Annabel seems to matter. Steph soon realises she must discover what's happened to Annabel, or risk selling a part of herself she'll never get back. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

As soon as Glass Geishas landed on my doormat and I opened to the prologue I couldn't wait to read more. Steph thought she was going to make quick easy money but didn't know about what was happening to her friends Julia and Annabel. As soon as Steph arrives in Japan and can't find Annabel things start to worry Steph and she's on a mission to find out what has happened to Annabel with the help from Annabels diary. But needing money slows her search down. I also loved the charater of Mama, hearing about her life as she was telling George the Journalist, who was writing her book. It was a bit annoying when I had to go back to the main story as I wanted to know more.
I did enjoy reading this but found the further I got into it the slower I got reading it. The jumping between Steph, Mama and Chastity got a bit annoying for me as it felt I was being stopped from reading what I was getting into. I'm glad I stuck to it and finished it, a good read. ( )
