The first half of this book seemed really slow to me, I felt a little lost for part of it. The last half of the book went by quickly, since I had finally gotten use to the world this book is set in. The world isn't really all that different from the our's, but is very different in some ways. The gov...
Anyone who has spent time in the online book reading community knows the name of Stacia Kane. Normally her name is synonymous with a kickass author who just…well kicks ass! At least that is what led me to buy this book. I appreciated my interactions with her as a reader and so wanted to show some...
Tried to read this book last year, but it didn't click with me at the time. Started the book again a few days ago and the entire experience has been strange...I really enjoyed the world and characters written. The mystery was intriguing and the story moved at a steady pace. Chess's drug use didn'...
This book was about as subtle as getting hit in the face with a brick. Nothing was handled with tact or skill or any amount of nuance. Badass character is an orphan? Well she's not JUST an orphan, oh no, she's got a history of child abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, drug abuse...
While I was reading Unholy Ghosts, I was totally into it, completely invested in the tortuous plot, the somewhat frightening Urban Fantasy beasties, and the fates of our tortured protagonists, the wonderfully original and nuanced Chess and Terrible. But whenever I set Unholy Ghosts down, even if onl...
Turned out to be really good. Very different from most books in this genre--as far as the characters are concerned. I've read in many reviews that people didn't really like Chess, and although I'm not happy with her drug dependency, I thought she was a good heroine, if not a typical one. She has ...
Synopsis: “And the living prayed to their gods and begged for rescue from the armies of the dead, and there was no answer. For there are no gods.”—The Book of Truth, Origins, Article 12Welcome to a kind of dystopic America with no God or gods but one Church of Real Truth – the only organization that...
The world has changed; the government has fallen, the dead have risen and the Church of Real Truth is now in charge. It has promised to reimburse citizens being haunted by the dead so they’ve assembled and trained “debunkers” to investigate claims. Chess Putnam is a church witch and debunker who ha...
Chess Putnam's world is dark, dirty, depressing and totally fascinating! There has been nothing written in Urban Fantasy like this first book in the Downside Ghosts series that I can remember engaging my imagination and keeping me turning pages because the story just enthralled me with the need to ...
Unusual, but not bad.I found this book to be pretty dark. It would fit well into the darker urban fantasy category. There were several things I liked about Stacia Kane's writing. She had no problem with taking risks with her writing. Which may not be something some people will appreciate, but it giv...
