"The Hunt for Xanadu" by Elyse Salpeter is a fast paced thriller in which a young woman, Kelsey, pursues the killers of her parents.Her parents were murdered while trying to find the mythical land of Xanadu and the story's fantasy elements owe much to mythology rather than vampires and werewolves.Accompanied by Detective and love interest Desmond her quest for revenge turns into something more profound. The personal development of a young woman with a horrid past, confronted with Buddhist beliefs and ancient demons makes for some great reading. I loved the character depth while the action part of the story also never lets you go.The book is well written with a good storyline, strong narrative and interesting characters.
