Unholy Magic
ENEMIES DON’T NEED TO BE ALIVE TO BE DEADLY.
For Chess Putnam,
finding herself near-fatally poisoned by a con psychic and then
stopping a murderous ghost is just another day on the job. As an agent
of the Church of Real Truth, Chess must expose those looking to profit
from the world’s unpleasant little poltergeist problem — humans filing
false claims of hauntings — all while staving off any undead who really
are looking for a kill. But Chess has been extra busy these days,
coping with a new “celebrity” assignment while trying on her own time
to help some desperate prostitutes.
Someone’s taking out the
hookers of Downside in the most gruesome way, and Chess is sure the
rumors that it’s the work of a ghost are way off base. But proving
herself right means walking in the path of a maniac, not to mention
standing between the two men in her life just as they — along with their
ruthless employers — are moving closer to a catastrophic showdown.
Someone is dealing in murder, sex, and the supernatural, and once again
Chess finds herself right in the crossfire.

The Downside Ghosts
In Chess Putnam’s world, ghosts are real, and — what’s worse — they’re dangerous. Lucky for her, she has the ability to hunt and banish them, which she puts to good use in her job as a debunker. People who try to get government money by claiming they’ve got a ghost need to go through Chess first. It’s up to her to decide whether they’re committing fraud — and she rarely makes mistakes. Dark, sexy, and always suspenseful, the Downside Ghosts series chronicles Chess’s adventures in a frightening, fascinating world wholly unlike our own.
The Downside Ghosts consists of five primary books, and includes three additional books that complement the series but are not considered mandatory reads and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
