Book description
If you liked the compelling characters in 50 Shades of Grey, you'll
love the Downside Ghosts series.
Murderous spirits and ruthless drug dealers combine to create serious
problems for fiercely independent heroine, Chess, in these fast-paced,
sexy and addictive novels.
The world is not the way it was. The dead have risen and constantly
attack the living. The powerful Church of Real Truth, in charge since
the government fell, has sworn to reimburse citizens being harassed by
the deceased. Consequently, there are many false claims of hauntings
from those hoping to profit.
Enter Chess Putnam, a fully-tattooed witch and freewheeling Debunker
and ghost hunter. She's got a real talent for nailing the human liars or
banishing the wicked dead. But she's keeping a dark secret from the
Church: a little drug problem that's landed her in hot and dangerous water.
Chess owes a murderous drug lord named Bump a lot of money. And Bump
wants immediate payback. All Chess has to do is dispatch a very nasty
species of undead from an old airport. But the job involves black magic,
human sacrifice, a nefarious demonic creature, and crossing swords with
enough wicked energy to wipe out a city of souls. Toss in lust with a
rival gang leader and a dangerous attraction to Bump's ruthless
enforcer, and Chess begins to wonder if the rush is really worth it.
Hell, yeah. “Gripping… Vivid characters, superior world-building and a
wonderful sense of pace… I was enthralled.”
“The world-building is unexpected and complex, the characters are
alive, and the protagonist Chess is a treasure.”
“The characters are complex and indelible, the plot is fascinating, and
I can hardly wait for another book…"
(all) Charlaine Harris
