Lily’s Book Review of City of Ghosts by Stacia Kane
City of Ghosts
Dear Maryse,
I am writing this letter from somewhere near Downside, dig? I am hunting a black 69 Chevelle, cause I know that only Terrible is driving that car in these parts. I just got done with Stacia Kane’s 3rd book in the Downside Ghosts series and I am convinced she wrote it just for me. This book brings us into an intense case with the Black Squad – one they put a binding spell on her over. Chess can not mention the case to anyone, or the ghosts of the original elders will literally come back to get her. This is a VERY highly paid job, but Chess is an odd girl. She is a witch with the church, her official title being a debunk-er – her job is to seek out people looking to defraud the church by making false ghost claims, but she also has a big nasty secret from them.
Today’s Twit-Bits: August 13th 2010
Ooooh Friday the 13th! I’m gonna Twit-Bit all sorts o’ cool stuff today – scary stuff & author stuff!
Finally, my first weekend in what feels like ages, where I’m not travelling for work. I’ve got SIX (count ’em – 6!!) weekends off, so I hope to fill them book related stuff. Here is the lastest “work pic” of me (sheeesh the things I *almost* do for my job – I didn’t kiss him LOL!). Now if us girls were assured the prince would look like the guy on the Primal Instincts cover (below)…then maybe 😉 tee hee!!!
Lily’s Book Review of Unholy Magic by Stacia Kane
left on Maryse’s voicemail:
12:36am: Maryse! Oh my goodness I am so in love! I told you I was reading that new Downside series by Stacia Kane, right? It’s that new urban fantasy series based around the idea that in 1997 “Truth” was revealed and ghosts took over and killed tons of people. The only ones able to help was a small church that believed in magic, and once they restrained the ghosts and put them back in the ground (called The City) they took over the government and religion, because there was now proof there are no gods. The main character is Chess, a witch who works for the church but is heavily addicted to pills. This is an awesome series, that reads easily (except for Downside speak which is easy enough to pick up).
Karen Marie Moning – Highlander Series Reading Order:
Ok, so….am I about to trade in my sexy vampires for some intense and breathtaking highlanders? WOW!! On a whim I read the first book in this series this past weekend, and was completely hooked! And now I need the reading order to continue (cause I just can’t stop thinking about the first book —> I HEART Hawk and I need more).
So while I gather my info, I thought I’d publish it for your use, too 😉 This definitely counts as paranormal cause there’s time travel, and those pesky fae (and well of course, it kinda “mingles” with the author’s “Fever” series that I love)
