Description
Some truths must never be told...
One night in 2012, Zhang Guo Xing takes a group of European clients to a fashionable high-end nightclub in Shanghai. While there, he meets a strikingly beautiful young Finnish woman called Naemi Vieno Kuusela. The physical attraction between them proves irresistible, and they embark on an intoxicating affair. But Naemi is not what she appears to be...
To Zhang's surprise, she veers between passion and wariness, conducting the relationship entirely on her own terms. He feels compelled to find out more about her and is swiftly drawn into a web of intrigue, mystery, and horror. Is she a ghost? A demon? Do the living dead walk the streets of twenty-first century Shanghai?
'An atmospheric and evocative tale.' - Booklist
'A steamy affair turns supernatural... the ending subverts expectations and provides a perfect springboard for NVK's next adventure.' - Kirkus Reviews

NVK by Temple Drake is praised for its atmospheric and evocative storytelling, intertwined with a sensual affair, set in the gritty, noir-ish world of supernatural Shanghai.
