***Possible spoilers you’ve been warned*** I really enjoyed the world building in this book and wished there was a little more explanation about it. You do get snippets here and there on what happened with the world and why the Church came on top and in charge of the city. The setting is wonderful...
Much better than I was anticipating. I thought I would have an issue with the substance abuse (and I did, partially) but Kanes world, characters and writing far outweighed any negative views I might have had. I felt Chess's substance abuse issue were portrayed realistically (not that I've ever had...
I tried to get through this book four times before I actually did. It's about as gritty as you get, the world sort-of reminded me of the movie Sin City, but darker and obviously full of ghosts. The main characters "lifestyle" is really hard to experience. But in many ways this book is amazing, uniqu...
Holy goodness! I put off reading this for YEARS. Big mistake. I think because I'm not that into Urban Fantasy anymore. This is a great series though and I'm sorry it took me so long to pick it up. It's reminiscent of Karen Moning's Darkfever series as far as a cool setting and kick-ass heroine. The ...

This review was originally posted on amazon on March 5, 2012: Brief Plot Summary:Chess (Cesaria) is a Debunker for the Church of Truth in Downside. This series is a bit of a twist on the post-apocalyptic/dystopian book that is very popular right now, and focuses on ghosts, not zombies. Zombie fict...
11% through the book: "I like Chess, but I gotta know... Does she get off drugs at some point?" 41% through the book: "So, she has mentioned a few times that Terrible looks like Elvis (with the sideburns and the bowling shirts). Young Elvis right? Not jumpsuit Elvis?" 61% through the book: "One ...
Okay, I guess its time to fess up. I've been avoiding reading this book, whenever I think about picking it up I just shut down and go clean something. I'm sorry, I just can't do ghost or religious nutjobs.
