About this ebook
THE DEPARTED HAVE ARRIVED.
The world is not the way it was. The dead have risen, and the living are under attack. The powerful Church of Real Truth, in charge since the government fell, has sworn to reimburse citizens being harassed by the deceased. Enter Chess Putnam, a fully tattooed witch and freewheeling ghost hunter. She’s got a real talent for banishing the wicked dead. But Chess is keeping a dark secret: She owes a lot of money to a murderous drug lord named Bump, who wants immediate payback in the form of a dangerous job that involves black magic, human sacrifice, a nefarious demonic creature, and enough wicked energy to wipe out a city of souls. Toss in lust for 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.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Stacia Kane's Unholy Magic.

After a few chapters of the first book I was hooked. I've read a lot of UF and this series is in my top three. Entertaining, thought provoking. The heroes are tragic but strong, damaged but likeable. A very (worst of) puritan/catholic church controls society. Life is uncertain, the world gritty, full of magic, ghosts and harsh day-to-day survival. Street smarts are far more valuable than a Harvard MBA. Magic, mystery, suspense, drama, romance - never dull. A+

Good but some of the themes became repetitive.

She wears a lot of black, still makes great cocktails, likes to play music loud in the car, and thinks Die Hard is one of the greatest movies ever made. She believes in dragons and the divine right of kings, and is a fervent Ricardian. She lives outside Atlanta with her husband and their two little girls.
