Commentary Concering Books Unholy Ghosts (Downside Ghosts #1)
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.

A good narrator can always make or break a book for me. In this case, I think my eventual affection for this story was due in a large part to Bahni Turpin, who managed to flawlessly execute both the male and female voices. She made these characters come alive, and I went from not feeling the book to really loving it. This book has some difficult speech patterns in it, and I think hearing a narrator read it aloud made it feel urban and authentic. I tend to like my urban fantasy books to be justThis book benefits from a compelling story, as well as a unique and fascinating mythology...it's just too bad that the Unholy Ghosts that haunt the city of Downside are far more interesting than the people who are trying to stop them! Chess Putnam is an ordained Debunker for the all-powerful Church of Real Truth. On a good day, she receives a generous bonus for proving someone is faking a haunting in order to extort money from the Church. On a bad day, the haunting turns out to be real, and
"Debunking often looks like the most appealing of church positions, but very few possess the skill, intelligence and above all, integrity required."--Careers In The Church: A Guide For Teens, by Praxis Turpin. My only regret with this book is that I waited so long to read this series. I absolutely LOVE this unique world that even when I'm not reading the book Chess and the Downside World is still on my mind! Fans of the Fever world will fall in live with this world Stacia Kane has created.Chess
I was really looking forward to liking this book but I have a huge trigger (or two) and that is drug abuse. The heroine is what seems always getting high and is also indebted to her dealer who is also a pimp. I really disliked that, so I sadly had to drop the story. Also, what's with all the Church thing. It's like the whole world is enslaved by it and it's, at least to me, not a normal church but more of a sect that rulls the world. The whole plot thus just wasn't for me. If you can overlook
Wow, thanks to this book, I have a newly developed phobia of worms. Unholy Ghosts by Stacia Kane turned out to be more than amazing. I am so glad I decided to read it. I'll be honest here and admit being extremely picky with my books. I read a lot of reviews ( even though I often get spoilers because of that ), check the average rating before choosing it.Usually when the rating's below 4, I get really sceptical about the book and often don't keep very high expectations. I know it's bad and
I never expected to like this book.I had read all sorts of reviews and most of them were fairly positive but to read a story about a heroine with a drug addiction problem (no pun intended) I wasnt sure if this book would be for me.Unholy Ghosts is a dark, dirty, gritty, read. The world building is imaginative. Set in a world where ghosts need to be controlled by debunkers, drug lords roam freely, and magic exists, Unholy Ghosts is a compelling read.The main character Chess (Cesaria) Putman is a
While reading Unholy Ghosts, what struck me was how strange and unusual it was in some parts of it's storytelling. Chess is a witch who hunts ghosts for a living, but she is also addicted to drugs and uses them to deal with her life. In order to use magic, she is an employee of the Church of Real Truth, yet she also hangs out in all the wrong places. This juxta-positioning was a little strange, especially when she snorts drugs, listens to sermons, and hangs around rough-talking males. She
