A reluctant medium discovers the ties that bind can unleash a dangerous power in this compelling Malaysian-set contemporary fantasy.
Jessamyn Teoh is closeted, broke, and moving back to Malaysia, a country she left when she was a toddler. So when Jess starts hearing voices, she chalks it up to stress. But there's only one voice in her head, and it claims to be the ghost of her estranged grandmother, Ah Ma. In life Ah Ma was a spirit medium, the avatar of a mysterious deity called the Black Water Sister. Now she's determined to settle a score against a gang boss who has offended the god - and she's decided Jess is going to help her do it.
Drawn into a world of gods, ghosts, and family secrets, Jess finds that making deals with capricious spirits is a dangerous business. As Jess fights for retribution for Ah Ma, she'll also need to regain control of her body and destiny. If she fails, the Black Water Sister may finish her off for good.

Unfortunately, there is a critical issue with the protagonist, at least for me personally: After a confrontation late in the story with the antagonist, in which the protagonist undergoes emotional catharsis and some much needed character growth in order to defy and overcome the antagonist, in their next meeting the protagonist is simply reset character wise and submits to the antagonist with barely a token amount of resistance for no reason other than the antagonist having shown up.
This is such a grave betrayal of the protagonist's character development arc that I personally could not bear to finish the remainder of the audiobook.
The rating is only as high as it is because the author was extremely skillful in making me emotionally invested in her up to that point.
Good, but character arc betrayed.
