    All three books are excellent. The first one, Xiao Dao, is very good, but I don't usually read romance novels, so this one is quite good and I can accept it. Every character is very vivid, and it leaves you feeling excited after reading it. I found the second one around midnight, and I kept reading while being scared, but it was also good. I've read the third one twice. It features a group of spirited young men, two male leads, but the romance isn't emphasized; it focuses on feelings and is told from a third-person perspective. The authors' writing in these books is superb. You should all read them!!
