About this ebook
The award-winning writer of Tea with the Black Dragon and other acclaimed novels returns to fantasy with the intriguing story of Chinese-American artist Ewen Young who gains the ability to travel between the worlds of life and death. This unasked-for skill irrevocably changes his life—as does meeting Nez Perce veterinarian Dr. Susan Sundown and her remarkable dog, Resurrection. After defeating a threat to his own family, Ewen and Susan confront great evils—both supernatural and human—as life and death begin to flow dangerously close together.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a wonderful set of stories! I've been a fan of McAvoy since reading Tea with the Black Dragon and I'm thrilled that she's writing again. More, please!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I have really loved RA MacAvoy's writing, starting all the way back with Tea with Black Dragon. The Grey Horse is part of the scenery on the inside of my head, and the Lens series floored me several times. So I was thrilled to see that she is writing again.
For me this was reminiscent of Black Dragon and Twisting the Rope, that sort of modern day fantasy/mystery set among artists - in Dragon, it was a musician, here its a visual artist. I know these people, I have had dinner and arguments with people just like these. In fact one of them still has my potato fork. Of course the ones I know don't disapparate, or at least if they do they don't tell me about it. But still, I feel very at home with these characters.
This particular book is a set of four closely related stories involving the same set of people. I liked the first three a lot, the fourth felt sketched in, unfinished. But I'm so happy to see MacAvoy back and still doing what she does so well that I'm feeling pretty forgiving about the weak fourth.
Here's hoping this is the start of much more from a writer I respect and enjoy! - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Ewen Young is a Chinese American painter and martial artist. A brush with death gives him the ability to enter the spirit world. His life gets more complicated from there.Although plenty of stuff happens, this is more about characters than plot. It is really four closely linked stories than a coherent novel.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5First up, yes it is another version of The Go Between/In Between, BUT it then continues on with 3 more stories or novellas about Ewen Young. So, if you buy this one you don't need to track down the other two, limited-release books (unless you're a completist, in which case do go ahead!), but if you have and liked either of the others you'll certainly get your money's worth from this one. :)Very gentle character-based storytelling (despite all the murders). All of R.A.MacAvoy's stories are written in quite different styles, but this one is probably most like her first - Tea with the Black Dragon - but with the meditation, martial arts and general body awareness of the Lens series.
