Luli Wei is beautiful, talented, and desperate to be a star. Coming of age in pre-Code Hollywood, she knows how dangerous the movie business is and how limited the roles are for a Chinese American girl from Hungarian Hill—but she doesn't care. She’d rather play a monster than a maid. But in Luli's world, the worst monsters in Hollywood are not the ones on screen. The studios want to own everything from her face to her name to the women she loves, and they run on a system of bargains made in blood and ancient magic, powered by the endless sacrifice of unlucky starlets like her.

Needed more depth
Revisado: 01-19-23
I love the idea of this story and this world: Movies are literally created from magic with stars achieving immortality while trading in their souls.
But it all lacked depth. I wanted more world building. It was clear all of the characters involved were aware of the existence of the magic in this world, but it was never fully realized or harnessed. For most of the story it simply sat in the background existing with little actual impact on the world or the characters. The characters suffered from a similar lack of background and depth, most of them flitting in and out of the story with little to make them more than props. I wish the writer would have spent the same sort of time with the details of character development and world building as she did with the romantic scenes.
