I had no idea that this book contained two novellas when I requested it from NetGalley. All I saw was The Realm of the Dead and thought that this book seemed interesting enough to request. 

Crossfades introduce the reader to Chuck Grainger, a Recon and Enforcement Technician that works The Institute. His job is to guide lost souls into the next life. What Chuck needs to do is project his spirit into Crossfades, the realm of the souls of the dead so that he can help them move on. The problem is that sometimes souls doesn't want to leave and they realize that they are dead and learn to control and manipulate the Crossfades. And, that is exactly what happens when Chuck is trying to help a little girl named Abigail to cross over suddenly her world is disappearing and a malevolent spirit is taking over. Now Chuck must fight the very dangerous spirit...

In the sequel Bleedovers must Chuck, who have survived the ordeal in Crossfades, stop a spirit that has managed to cross over to the real world. Some spirits know that they are dead, but doesn't want to move on instead they are trying to return home and sometimes every few century some manage to do that. And, now someone has crossed and is looking for revenge towards Chuck.

I did prefer Crossfades to Bleedovers, I found the story more intensive and more interesting. I did enjoy Bleedovers, it was just that I was pretty sure throughout the book that the spirit they thought they were trying to catch was not the one they thought it would be and I was right. It would have been too easy if it would have been and I suspected from the start that the spirit would be not the one Chuck thought it would be.

All and all, quite good. I liked the idea of a secret place where people worked to help bring souls over to the next would and I'm curious to how it all started. 

Thanks to Hydra and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I received a free kindle copy of Bleedovers: A Dystopian Novella by William Todd Rose from the author in exchange for a fair review. That did not influence my rating.

I gave this intense, horror filled book five stars from start to finish. 

While some of the events were puzzling, the characters were incredibly well drawn, the dialogue was on target & the pace was steady. It is a suspense-filled stand alone book.

I will now look for more of William Todd Rose's books.

Spooky paranormal Dystopian Theme.. This had my interests up when I Viewed the cover of this.
Set in the future somewhat. A Tech team use there paranormal gifts. CrossFading A gift of been able to shift from different realms that normal humans can't see.

Going into a depraved serial killer's world of pain and suffering doesn't sound like something a normal person would want to do. Especially when you know that in this weird Place,There are real souls stuck there being tortured for eternity with no end in sight Not even death. But that's what Chuck does. He goes into these wastelands of lost souls and tries to help them move on.

All in all I really enjoyed this Book The start of it grabbed me. I have to admit I was a bit confused as to what was going on but once I got in to it. It was an awesome tale! I also looked up and found it This was a second instalment to the first by William Todd Rose you can get it  here > https://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/crossfades
