Budding Star (Angel Academy Book 8)

A teenage pop princess falls into a coma in 21st century Japan and now her soul has given the Agency the slip. Mel and Reuben have just come back from a soul retrieval course, so the Agency assigns them to track down Tsubomi s lost soul. Once her body and soul have been reunited, Tsubomi can continue to write and sing the songs that are helping to make the world a better place. That s the plan. But Tsubomi s soul seems oddly reluctant to be found. Mel and Reuben s quest takes them into a realm of the Afterlife that s as exquisite and haunting as a Japanese fairytale, filled with magical castles, ninjas and demons. But like all fairytales, this one has an ominous side. Someone is playing a dark and dangerous game - but who? And can they find Tsubomi before it s too late?
