READING, WRITING, AND RAISING THE DEAD
When Chess Putnam is ordered by an infamous crime boss—who also happens to be her drug dealer—to use her powers as a witch to solve a grisly murder involving dark magic, she knows she must rise to the challenge. Adding to the intensity: Chess’s boyfriend, Terrible, doesn’t trust her, and Lex, the son of a rival crime lord, is trying to reignite the sparks between him and Chess.
Plus there’s the little matter of Chess’s real job as a ghost hunter for the Church of Real Truth, investigating reports of a haunting at a school in the heart of Downside. Someone seems to be taking a crash course in summoning the dead—and if Chess doesn’t watch her back, she may soon be joining their ranks.
As Chess is drawn into a shadowy world of twisted secrets and dark violence, it soon becomes clear that she’s not going to emerge from its depths without making the ultimate sacrifice.
I love the cover stays with the same theme as the first three books. With Chess on the cover and her markings and a background of a glimpse of the city.
Pure deliciousness :) Although sadly they didn't use the same model or the artist for this cover as for the previous three.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really great cover ! I've just bought the first one, I hope to read it soon now ! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI have the first 3 on my tbr!! Have I read them? No, of course not! I fail! :P
ReplyDeleteKara-Karina@Nocturnal Book Reviews - I do love these covers. ;) And I'm glad you mentioned the model. I kept looking at her thinking she wasn't the same one, but she is pretty darn close to the other model. And her face is kind of fuzzy on this cover too. :) Thank you!
