Montzalee Wittmann (montziew) Loved this!
Unholy Ghosts
Downside Ghosts, Book 1
By: Stacia Kane
Narrated by: Bahni Turpin
This is an amazing book! A strange future where the government has collapsed, ghosts have risen, the Church of Real Truth is a church that preaches that there's no gods! Our gal of the story works for them. She is a witch. That makes her feared by most. Her many tattoos give her away. She has a secret too, she's a drug addict. The church doesn't know.
She is wanted by both drug lords, she owes one a lot of money. She hears of a blood sacrifice, human, it will bring about more than she can handle. She has to try to stop it. She has one of the tough drug Lord's enforcer with her to keep an eye on her.
This book is fast paced, gritty, vivid details, it's unpredictable, wild, characters are tough and hardened, and the world building is superb.
The narration is excellent! Just right for this book!


Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos) | 80 comments I am listening to it and I am enjoying it. I should be done with it this weekend.

The only thing is I am not really connecting to the characters. I think this is has to do with the narrator and not the book itself.


Lizz (Beer, Books and Boos) | 80 comments I did really enjoy this book and the world building. I did have a hard time connecting to the characters. Mainly Chess but that will not stop me from reading the rest of the series.

I felt like I was stuck in this world and I loved that. I felt like I couldn't trust any of the characters but I liked that.

Good luck... I really loved this series, but the author seems unable to finish/release book 6... the first 3 books came out in 2010, the 4th and 5th came out in 2012/13, then nothing but a few short stories have been released in 6 years... author finally published something in 2017 or 2018, but it was standalone and unrelated... she says book 6 is coming, but I'm wary...

The funny thing is that the series feels pretty easy to read as standalone volumes until the end of book 5, when Chess's house of cards starts to crumble... probably another reason the author is struggling with book 6...
