After donning a cursed necklace for the cameras, a silent screen starlet and her entourage are terrorized by an ancient demon.
It is 1923, and silent film reigns in Hollywood. Of all the starlets, none is more beloved than Chrysanda Flamande, a diva as brilliant as she is difficult to manage. Handling her falls to Norah, widow of Chrysanda’s dead brother. She has always done her job well, but she was never equipped to deal with murder.
When a violent killing shocks Chrysanda’s entourage, and other weird happenings swiftly follow, Norah begins to suspect that some strange power is stalking the star. In Chinatown she receives warning that a curse has been placed on the actress as vengeance for wearing a sacred amulet in one of her films - and this curse could mean death for all who surround her.

However, the narrator let me down a few times by mis-pronouncing a few words. She did a good job of presenting Nora’s and Christine’s voices, though, and overall did a decent job.
On of my all-time favorites

Fun Supernatural Romp in Old Hollywood

I enjoyed the look at the Hollywood of the silver screen. Many names will be recognized. The first book in the series was a standard mystery. This is more mystical with a slight rearrangement of background.
This plot resembles an old-time horror movie, which holds together well. It would make a great 30's movie.
It leaves the reader wanting to adopt Pomeranians who are lovingly described. (but be sure to go to a homeless pet shelter to get one.)
this is the second book of a series

The main characters are all really engaging, the system of magic is interesting and most importantly, (as with all her other books, mystery,fantasy, whatever) Hambly's writing is very detail-oriented and her fascination with the early history of Hollywood, silent films and the time and places she writes about shine through. The book is filled with historical research inserted so seamlessly into the story that it adds verisimilitude and charm to every section.
The narration and accents were very well done and did not disappoint for a book which I had read many times. This is a fun trip through old Hollywood, Chinatown with some magic and honestly scary bits along the way as well. I recommend it highly!

Would you consider the audio edition of Bride of the Rat God to be better than the print version?
I can't compare, as I have not read the print version.Who was your favorite character and why?
Hmm. Nora, I suppose. She was an interesting blend of vulnerability/strength, skepticism/openness.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Beware of producers bearing gifts.Any additional comments?
The narrator was excellent.Outstanding
