Cover Crush – UK Edition: Downside Ghosts Series by Stacia Kane
by Carolyn • Posted in Cover Crush
These are the UK covers for the forthcoming Downside Ghosts series by Stacia Kane to be released from May. I love the US Editions, but I’m loving these too, my only concern is that they do remind me a little bit of actual cigarette smoke, especially Unholy Ghosts and City of Ghosts, but that’s just a small niggle. Basically they are pretty classy covers and quite striking – I will definitely be buying the set when they are released! I think my favourite is Unholy Magic. Do you like them? Which is your fav?
Book 1, Unholy Ghosts
Book 2, Unholy Magic
Book 3, City of Ghosts

Summary (Book 1)
The first book in a compelling new urban fantasy series, The Downside Ghosts. Murderous spirits and ruthless drug dealers combine to create serious problems for fiercely independent heroine, Chess, in these fast-paced, sexy and addictive novels – fitting for a witch with a serious drug problem. The world is not the way it was. The dead have risen and constantly attack the living. The powerful Church of Real Truth, in charge since the government fell, has sworn to reimburse citizens being harassed by the deceased. Consequently, there are many false claims of hauntings from those hoping to profit.
Enter Chess Putnam, a fully-tattooed witch and freewheeling Debunker and ghost hunter. She’s got a real talent for nailing the human liars or banishing the wicked dead. But she’s keeping a dark secret from the Church: a little drug problem that’s landed her in hot and dangerous water. Chess owes a murderous drug lord named Bump a lot of money. And Bump wants immediate payback. All Chess has to do is dispatch a very nasty species of undead from an old airport. But the job involves black magic, human sacrifice, a nefarious demonic creature, and crossing swords with enough wicked energy to wipe out a city of souls. Toss in lust with a rival gang leader and a dangerous attraction to Bump’s ruthless enforcer, and Chess begins to wonder if the rush is really worth it. Hell, yeah. (Amazon UK)

I like the sound of this series – another one to go on my wishlist

I like the covers but I'm not too keen on the fact it looks like they're smoking (even though I'm a smoker LOL). That is probably the reason I prefer the cover for book 2

These covers are beautiful! I wonder if I can get my hands on a copy of the UK set. *ponders*

These are really classy covers. The Unholy Ghost covers looks like an Anita Blake one, the Laughing Corpse.
City of Ghosts is my favorite though. I'm not sure why , maybe the composition.
