It's Christmas break and Astrid Magnusson has returned home from college with one Christmas wish: She wants Bo Yeung for Christmas. Bo was an orphan taken off of the streets by Astrid's oldest brother. He has worked for Bootlegger Winter Magnusson for years and is now his second in command. But before Astrid gets to talk to Bo, a mysterious yacht crashes into the Magnusson pier during a storm. This ship disappeared over a year ago. The survivors on the ship are acting strangely. When Astrid touches a small jade statue that was on the ship, she passes out. Suddenly a peculiar man is threatening to kill her if she doesn't hand over the statue. Bo is there to make sure nothing happens to her.

This is the third book in the Roaring Twenties series. I didn't think it was as good as the previous books in the series. The mystery was just okay. Bo and Astrid moved from place to place asking questions about the ship and its survivors. The only excitement was the man with the knife threatening Astrid from time to time. The romance was slow. It only took a few pages to discover that Bo and Astrid were in love with each other, but the public and maybe her family would never accept their interracial relationship. Every time they tried to talk about it, someone would interrupt. This got old after a while. My rating: 3 Stars.
