    This is the only supernatural book I've read that I think is the best Taoist ghost-catching novel. It doesn't have romance or a system; the protagonist is cunning and resourceful, a complex character who straddles the line between good and evil, and possesses both Taoist and demonic powers. It's definitely worth reading.
