READING, WRITING, AND RAISING THE DEAD
When Chess Putnam is
ordered by an infamous crime boss — who also happens to be her drug
dealer — to use her powers as a witch to solve a grisly murder involving
dark magic, she knows she must rise to the challenge. Adding to the
intensity: Chess’s boyfriend, Terrible, doesn’t trust her, and Lex, the
son of a rival crime lord, is trying to reignite the sparks between him
and Chess.
Plus there’s the little matter of Chess’s real job as a ghost hunter for the Church of Real Truth, investigating reports of a
haunting at a school in the heart of Downside. Someone seems to be
taking a crash course in summoning the dead — and if Chess doesn’t watch
her back, she may soon be joining their ranks.
As Chess is drawn into a shadowy world of twisted secrets and dark violence, it soon
becomes clear that she’s not going to emerge from its depths without
making the ultimate sacrifice.
The series
In Chess Putnam’s world, ghosts are real, and — what’s worse — they’re dangerous. Lucky for her, she has the ability to hunt and banish them, which she puts to good use in her job as a debunker. People who try to get government money by claiming they’ve got a ghost need to go through Chess first. It’s up to her to decide whether they’re committing fraud — and she rarely makes mistakes. Dark, sexy, and always suspenseful, the Downside Ghosts series chronicles Chess’s adventures in a frightening, fascinating world wholly unlike our own.
