The line between enemy and ally is thinner than a shadow's edge. Ever since she saved the spirit guardians of China by selling out to her worst enemy, Missy Masters -- a.k.a. the pulp hero Mr. Mystic -- has been laying low. But when knights serving the Conclave of Shadow steal secret technology from a museum exhibit on the Argent Aces, everyone looks to Mr. Mystic for help. If Missy doesn't want her masquerade blown, she'd better track down the thieves, and fast. But stolen tech turns out to be the least of her problems. Recent events have upset the balance of power in the Shadow Realms, removing the barriers that once held the ravenous Voidlands in check. Their spread threatens destruction in the mortal realm as well... and only the Conclave stands ready to push them back. In a world of shadow, telling friends from enemies is easier said than done. But if she wants to save San Francisco, Missy will have to decide who to trust. Including her own instincts, which tell her that something is stalking her with murder in mind...

If you like your urban fantasy mashed up with martial arts and mythology and superheroes, well, this is the series for you!

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, The Dragons of Heaven, though the back and forth flow of the book threw me off at times. No such issues here. The book zooms along. Missy Masters is a fantastic heroine/hero who has adopted the superhero identity of her long-lost grandfather, Mr Mystic. He trained her how to wield the powers of the shadows. In the last book, a trip to China resulted in some new sorts of family issues, and those consequences carry over to this new volume.

One thing I really loved about this book was how deeply Helms used the setting of San Francisco. Her intimate knowledge of the place makes Mr Mystic's fight to keep the city safe feel all the more visceral and real. ( )
