What Haunts a Ghost?

One simple job and it all went wrong.

There is no one better--or deadlier--that Wraith. The ghost you never see coming. For the right price, Wraith can solve your problems, or haunt your nightmares. That is, if you ever wake up again.

Emily found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time and is now caught in a deadly turf war. She know which side to stand with but the risks she faces could take a dire toll if she falls into the wrong hands.

Colt Nowell begged for help and now a monstrous debt hangs over his head. He has two choices--pay it all back or watch the brothers that he begged to protect, along with everything he ever built burn to the ground. Will he lose his club, and his heart to the mysterious woman he owes his life to?

About the author

Kate Prada

9 books23 followers
Kate Prada is not a role model. Thanks to years of minimal impulse control, a poor sense of self preservation, and many a rough morning (usually following a good night) Kate has mastered the art of spinning her shenanigans into a good tale. She believes there is always a way to find the bright side, lesson, or punchline, and if we can’t laugh at ourselves, then what’s the point? Kate settled down (slightly) as she began the slow descent into middle age, but never lost her love of storytelling. It wasn’t until the stories got so loud, they kept her up at night (or as the professionals call it–insomnia) that she started to write them down. Several gritty, yet graceful characters were born, along with the loveable lugs that put up with their nonsense. She loves these characters with all her heart but is always blown away when her readers love them just as much.
When Kate isn’t story crafting, she’s networking and collaborating with fellow authors on the Romance Riot Discord, gardening, trying to convince her kid that their house is not a set for the latest Jackass movie, and sewing.
You can find Kate Prada Story times highlighting many of her past shenanigans on her TikTok @katepradawrites, hamming it up on Instagram as @katepradaauthor or on her blog http://katepradawrites.wordpress.com

Quiet simply...Emily is a bada$$. If you like an FMC who takes no sh** and gives no F^*ks this is the book for you. Did I mention a hot Motorcycle club with a delicious leader? Wraith is an action-packed romantic suspense with characters you can't help but root for. If this is your first time reading Kate Prada I guarantee it won't be your last.

This book has a bada$$ morally grey HEROINE and I am here for it!! And Colt is the broody, strong hero who can’t contain or control her, but he loves it! Gritty suspenseful plot and a wonderful blooming romance. The end is a cliffhanger but the book is worth the feels and the wait!

Kate Prada has admitted that her characters write their own stories, and while that does seem plausible seeing that they’re so stubbornly independent, Prada’s voice and style are so strong the story is undeniably hers.

“Wraith,” Prada’s second novel, was released Friday and unfortunately, I had a busy weekend, I would’ve finished it in a day if life didn’t get in the way.

The story is lead by Prada’s signature, a bad-ass female, in this case a femme-fatale on a warpath to take out whomever her boss of the moment deems necessary. She’s a paid gun. A hired assassin. So deadly and legendary she’s only known as “Wraith.”

Another Prada signature is a rough-around the edges leading man, Colt, the head of a southern biker gang – the Horseman. Colt hires “Wraith” to kidnap a member of a rival biker gang. And upon delivery is seduced by her sultry ways before finding out her true identity. Wrong place at the wrong time or wrong place at the right time? Colt’s biker compound is ambushed and Wraith save his ass, and his “brothers.” Together they work to take down the Horsemen’s rivals who have teamed up to form a serious human trafficking ring, moving women locally and across borders.

Normally I probably wouldn’t pick up a book about biker gangs, or human trafficking but that’s the magic of Prada’s writing, you get lost in her storyline waiting to find out what happens next before fully realizing the ugliness of the crimes she brings light to.

Excuse me, tonight I’ll be spending my evening in a rabbit hole of “biker gangs,” “human trafficking” and outdoor bathtubs.

Phenomenal!!

I’ve been anxiously awaiting this release and it did not disappoint!! I want to be Emily when I grow up, she is goals!! She is a strong, bad @$$ that you don’t want on your bad side! (But seriously, can she be my best friend?) Colt has officially been added to my book boyfriends also. What a wild ride but I enjoyed every twist and turn! I will be stalking Kate Prada until she releases book 2! 10/10, I will be recommending this to anyone who will listen!

Loved it

I normally do not enjoy cliffhangers but this is the exception. Emily was more alpha than the MC president and I loved her. She was ex military and suffered from PTSD. I enjoyed the MC and the brothers and their wary acceptance of Emily. I read MS Prada's first book "Black Rose" but was totally surprised by by "Wraith." I look forward to the sequel.

Yeeeessssssss

Kate Prada did it again! I was obsessed with Black Rose, but this book... YES! You know I love stories involving motorcycle clubs, but I love stories involving kickass women more. Kate gave us both in such a seamless way! Now, let's all have a moment of silence for that watermelon.

This is book is simply amazing.

I’m very much into strong female main characters & in the actual way not the “strong” way. But the ones who don’t take shit & get shit done.
This book was very well written & I felt at times moved by Emily’s thoughts, her back story I could relate to in different ways & that was awesome.

I’m more of a spicy dark reader but I never felt like anything was missing. I will be recommending this to all my friends.
Can’t frigging wait for the next one.

Kate writes strong female leads that are hardcore. I love it! This book has a lot of back story that Im not usually into, but it worked so well for the overall story arc and I absolutely loved it! Check triggers. Also, warning: it ends in a cliffhanger.

Yesss!!! I’m so glad I found this author and this book. When I tell you I did not want to adult because I was so lost in this book 🙌🏼

Emily is THE baddest FMC I have ever read. She is tough and can handle her own and then some. She is also super smart and sexy. She embodies a strong woman. She has a past that is horrible, but she’s a survivor. And I could not love this character any more.

Colt is the MC President. Emily is confident as he is drawn to her. In an effort to protect his club, he knows he needs her help. The best part is he doesn’t try to put her in a box. He lets her shine and be a bada$$, regardless of his urge to want to protect her.

There are so many twist and turns in this book it’s hard to even try to explain without giving too much. But absolutely, go RUN and read it! Also have Shadows (book 2) ready.

Happy Reading Ya’ll.

Amazing Read!

"I'm still reeling from the experience of reading Wraith, the first installment in Kate Prada's The Wraith Series is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling, with a slow-burn romance that simmers with tension.

The world-building is impeccable, with a richly detailed story that draws you in and refuses to let go. The characters are multidimensional and complex, with flaws and strengths that make them feel like real people. Emily, the protagonist, is a particular standout – her determination and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds is inspiring. I loved Emily & Colt so much!

I laughed and I cried, so many emotional moments for me. Their journey is giving me life.

Overall, Wraith is a must-read. Kate Prada has earned a spot on my auto-buy list – I'm eagerly anticipating the next installment in The Wraith Series.. Definitely Your Next 5⭐ Read..

Are you looking for a kickass FMC?? Who isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty? Well, she is a skilled assassin. If so, then this book is for you.

The characters were very well written. Making them easily relatable and instantly making me feel for them. And boy did Kate bring out the feels.

There are dark themes and a few dark scenes so please check your trigger warnings. Although the spice is closed doors, the build up to that moment is anything but bland. Diet spice!

A "zero F's given" morally grey FMC, a big biker MMC who loves her...what's not to like here? This is one of those books where you're in a car with no brakes, careening down the hill and sliding to a stop.

10/10 would highly recommend!

Wraith is a badass killer for hire.

Emily is a strong antihero. I love her pride her work ethic, squating that guy was epic. She is just amazing and still feminine. Colt sounds so tender a sweet not what I expected. Several twists and turns. Can't wait to start her next one.

I really hate cliffhangers. Having gotten that out of the way, I loved this book. The FMC is so relatable. The story pulls you in, and before you know it you’re hours past bedtime, you’re wide awake and hurting for your next fix cause you didn’t realize it had a cliffhanger ending.
I am not okay.

Going in Emily had serious "I'm not like other girls" vibes, but it this case it worked. I typically can't stand the trope but Kate Prada is a freaking genius with her story telling. Once again I was completely sucked into the story and couldn't put the book down. Emily is a true bad ass and I had to know exactly where this story would go so I binged the second book immediately after the first.

Loved this book! Emily is a bada$$, with a lot of trauma in her past. But she shows up and helps and does what's needed. Colt is my new book boyfriend, but don't tell Emily. I thought he'd be one way and then completely surprised me. Kate is a wordsmith and it is a pleasure to read her writing.
