If Li-lin’s Daoist exorcisms, hungry ghosts, and journeys across spirit realms gripped you in The Girl with Ghost Eyes, you’ll love how The Ghost Bride sends Li Lan into the Chinese afterlife itself—complete with the Nine Courts, paper offerings that take on real power, and the eerie proposal to wed a dead suitor from the wealthy Lim family. It has that same tapestry of folklore, ancestral obligations, and perilous bargains with the dead.

If 1890s San Francisco’s Chinatown—alive with river spirits, ghosts, and back-alley magic—hooked you in Li-lin’s story, Midnight Riot offers a modern echo in London. Probationary constable Peter Grant apprentices to the last official wizard, investigating hauntings and feuds between personified river deities like Father and Mother Thames—street-level cases where the city’s supernatural underbelly feels as vivid and lived-in as Chinatown’s spirit districts.

If the precise paper talismans and ritual practices Li-lin uses to banish jiangshi and demons are your jam, The Warded Man leans hard into that craftsmanship. Its wards must be drawn with exacting care to repel night-stalking corelings, and the plot turns on discovering, refining, and inscribing the right sigils—much like Li-lin’s disciplined, rule-bound magic that can save a community or fail it with a single misstroke.

If you loved how Li-lin’s 1890s Chinatown blends bustling streets, tongs, temples, and spirit courts into a fully realized world, The Golem and the Jinni offers a kindred immersion in 1899 New York. You’ll walk Little Syria’s coffeehouses and the Jewish Lower East Side alongside Chava, a golem, and Ahmad, a jinni, as immigrant histories and Old World magic collide with the rhythms of tenement life.

If Li-lin’s grit—standing between her community and predatory spirits with only her training and talismans—won you over, The Once and Future Witches delivers that same fierce resolve. The Eastwood sisters wield cunning, nursery-rhyme spellwork to protect their own and face down brutal witch-hunters, echoing Li-lin’s blend of courage, cultural magic, and willingness to bleed for the people she loves.
