What would you do if you were a 27 year-old with great looks, an upwardly mobile job that pays over $100,000 a year, and a fashion model girlfriend... but you were still unhappy with life?

Travel with him as he becomes part of a prosperous new family, stars on the baseball team, and rediscovers young love--only not in the way he thought any of this would be!

“In a book that is itself a celebration, Demi explains the rituals and ideas behind the Chinese New Year festival. The last 15 days of the old year are spent cleaning and preparing (‘Wash your hair and get a new haircut. Pay the debts that you owe and collect what is owed to you!’). On the eve of the new moon, a special feast is prepared. . . . The first 15 days of the new year are spent celebrating with lion dances, firecrackers, and other activities. Demi’s characteristic tiny, lively figures illustrate each page, with several spreads devoted to small, labeled pictures identifying things associated with the holiday. Infused with joy and filled with information.”—Booklist

Two years have passed since Tai and her siblings joined a group of travelling phantom hunters, and she's fitting in better than imagined. As Tai lets her guard down and leaves her old ghost-slaying methods behind, though, she discovers clues about an evil more devastating than the most powerful otherworldly demon, more dangerous than the family curse that still haunts her. Hunter training intensifies in step with feverish plans for the annual New Year celebration. But with all the distractions--ghosts, taverns, parties, and competition--who will be left to pick up the pieces in the new year?
