The Girl With the Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson is a novel set in San Francisco's Chinatown at the end of the 19th century. A daughter of a famous exorcist is cursed with being able to see spirits. She is drawn into a plot to take control of Chinatown by gangsters, spirits, curses and evil spells. She must call on all her magical and martial arts training to fight them, with the help of a little spirit in the shape of an eyeball.
Enter Boroson's strange yet historic world of old Chinatown. He grew up obsessed with kung fu movies and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and in fact, this would make a much better movie than a book. A fun and fairly entertaining read.
