About this listen
A child of two worlds - belonging to neither, dangerous to both.
All Kisaki really wants is to belong somewhere, but there are few places half demons can safely call home. Raised in isolation within the celestial palace, she longs to escape and explore the strange planet below - Earth. So when an opportunity presents itself, she takes it, inadvertently stealing her mother's greatest treasure in the process - the Blade of Heaven.
Exploring a whole new world is terrifying enough, but hot on her heels is her so-called guardian, the tiger-spirit Shitoro. If he catches her, he'll drag her straight back home. She thinks it's to punish her. But in actuality it's to save her.
She doesn't know it yet, but there's a very good reason Kisaki has been kept hidden away. Half-breeds such as her are not tolerated by the demon lords. If they find her, they'll stop at nothing to take the blade and use it to erase Kisaki, her mother, and everyone she cares about from existence.
A new adult urban fantasy.
Midnite's Daughter is book one of the Midnight Girl Saga, a manga inspired fantasy series by Rick Gualtieri - author of Bill the Vampire.

The Disney princess we need.
This is an honest surprise with the Gualtieri library. The comedy-horror author has gone outside of his comfort zone on this one. He delivers a whimsical tale utilizing Asian demonology and mixing it with some Lovecraft ideas, such as higher gods.
This I feel is a contender for best book I have listened to all year. And while Rick has restrained his usual humor for this novel, older fans should enjoy it. I also suggest that people who didn’t enjoy his previous works give this a shot.
And if Rick doesn’t make a tiny tiger wearing a kimono and holding a sword. And doesn’t market the hell out of it, I will not be happy.
Plot: Kisaki is a product of a forbidden co-mingling of deity and human. For the crime of existing, her mother, Midnight, locked Kisaki to protect her from the other gods. Locked in her room, the Disney princess is taught by her magical kitty demon.
Kisaki escapes her room and makes it to Earth. This triggers a series of events that force her to become the hero.
What I like: This is a good book overall. If you like most of the Disney princesses than this is the book for you as it follows the same tropes and similar obstacles. But don’t think this is for little children. I would say it is classified as PG.
