When eighteen-year-old Chess Putnam is offered the chance to train with a special team of investigators known as the Black Squad, she feels torn. She’s never been a team player and hates how one male Inquisitor condescends to “the new kid.” But at her first bloody crime scene, she gets a taste for investigation—and is hooked on the high.

The Downside Ghosts series is my favorite. Not just of books, my overall favorite thing in life. (that may be a tiny exaggeration) So you know I liked this novella.

It is a little peek into Chess' life, during schooling and training. That poor girl can't catch a break. Her very first day of training, she gets to see 2 bodies strewn about a living room. That's enough to make anyone re-think their career choice. But she has something to prove, not just to herself but to the world. And she isn't abo...more

This is an introduction to the Downside Ghosts series and my least favorite since it occurs before Chess meets Horrible. There are series inaccuracies here in that Chess meets people that in a later book she meets again for the first time. That really bothers me, But other than that it's a good read, well written, with good pacing. Chess is filled with even more angst, which is appropriate since she's younger here. We see how she begins her drug use and how she justifies it to herself. Other ser...more

Novella length origin story for Chess. Although it could be seen as a prequel to Stacia Kane's Downside Ghost series, it's probably best for established fans who want to dig into Chess' past, rather than as an alternate beginning to the series.

More than anything, Finding Magic made me long for the chance to see Chess from someone else's point of view - to see what Elder Griffin sees, what her colleagues see, what the frauds who she meets during her working hours as a Debunker see. What Terrible...more

The intricate details of how Ms. Kane's main character in her 'Downside' series came to be a Church Debunker thread through the plot perfectly. Eighteen year old Cesaria Putnam, in training with the Church of Real Truth, gets placed on a tryout basis with the Church Black Squad. They investigate murders. The grisly string of mutilated corpses in an ongoing case fascinates the young trainee, Chess. She rightly correlates the murders to ghosts, much to the surprise of her difficult handler Jillian...more

FINDING MAGIC is a prequel to the Downside Series, one of the best UF series on the market. This novella fills in some of Chess's back story, from when she is still in school before she became a Debunker and drug addict.

As with the rest of the series, Kane has provided excellently written, wonderful urban fantasy. Kane manages to do something extremely difficult--create characters who are so very broken and nearly despicable yet so empathetic that you want them to succeed.

This novella takes place a few years before Unholy Ghosts while Chess was still in school at the Church. We get to see her when she's 18 and Stacia Kane did a really good job with the voice of this novella in the fact that Chess read young. It was before she became the hardcore addict that we see her in the series, but you can see the beginnings of it here.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable, heartbreaking, oddly moving novella. Seeing Chess before the years of pills had ground her down, before she'd found her place as a Debunker, before she'd found her strengths as a Churchwitch was both illuminating and sad. Although she's in no way innocent or naive due to the childhood she had, she's ... more trusting, maybe. She *wants* to believe that people aren't all bad. She mentally chides herself that not everyone has an ulterior motive. She's terrified of...more

I knew it would feature a young Chess, just getting started in the Church. I knew she would be untried and I knew she would already be damaged by her horrible childhood. What I didn't expect was how much she would be colored by hope; or how sad it would be to know what her future would hold.

Basically, the story follows Chess on her first real training mission. She's been studying with the Church for two years, but this her first foray out into the field. She must work with members of the Black Squad to solve a string of seemingly unrelated ghost-murders. The plot is interesting enough, but where I was really affected was in how Chess was portrayed.

Yes, she was damaged by her childhood. She is plagued by those feelings of inadequacy that follow her into later books. But she is not on drugs. She's been clean since the Church took her in. The worst way she indulges is with a gulp of vodka now and then to dull the pain, but she castigates herself for it. She sees the Church as an infallible savior. The one step between safety and a life on street corners, whoring for food. She's determined to be worthy of them. It's just so hard.

I've never had an overabundance of patience with Chess or her self-destructive behavior. But here, she is somehow both naive and jaded. She carries both hope and despair. And we see these defining moments in her life as they unfold. We see the groundwork for the ill-fated tryst with Agnew Doyle referenced in Unholy Ghosts. The first tendrils of a relationship with Elder Griffen. The feelings of communion with Downside. That first Cept. Her first glimpse of Terrible. It's a lot to take in. It makes me hurt for her. It makes me more sympathetic to where she ends up. And for all of this, Stacia Kane is brilliant.

All that being said, I don't think this is a story for new readers. It's for fans who already think they know Chess, to show us just how much we didn't know. It's an important part of the Downside world, but it doesn't have the single most compelling element of the novels, and that's Terrible. He is the heart of the series for me, and his absence was felt.

One day, maybe, he'll get a novella of his own. A girl can hope, right?

Stacia Kane has always hinted about Chess Putnam's past growing up in foster homes and in an orphanage. However, she never really told the readers how Chess began her career with the church, how she started using drugs and how she met Terrible. "Finding Magic" answers these questions and it is quite an interesting tale. This story is basically a prequel to "Downside Ghosts."

The story showcases a very insecure, self deprecating 18 year old Chess. Even at 18 she was a loner and had good instincts...more

One of the reasons I recommend Stacia Kane's Downside Ghosts books so often is the remarkable character development. Heroine Chess has hard edges, deep-seated issues and a big problem with seeing herself as valuable. While Kane provided more insight into Chess' past in Sacrificial Magic, this new prequel novella lets us to see what Chess was like before.

The series is an Urban Fantasy about 18 year old Cesaria ‘Chess’ Putnam, a professional paranormal Debunker. There is a high level of paranormal activity in this book and makes mention of Magic, but not a lot of it is shown. This book delves us into the psyche of our Heroine Chess and where she came from before earning her position with the Church.

This storyline gives us a wonderful look into where she came from. Stacia does an excellent job describing Chess’ inner fears and a great look at her abusive history. The author perfectly describes her as the hard-edged, soft-hearted female she is. The plot starts in the last year of her education and a week-long training period on the Black Squad.

After accepting the training request from Elder Hancock, she is thrown into the middle of a murder investigation. Chess’ trainer, Jillian, and the other members of the Black Squad want to blow this off as another random ghost killing and leave Chess in the classroom where she belongs. These are accepted occurrences since Haunted Week 15 years prior when the ghosts made their presence known and put an end to all organized religion.

Chess disagrees with their decision and pushes to do her own investigation into the subjects involved. Jillian allows Chess to investigate the killings, thinking she can placate her and teach her a lesson at the same time. The investigation drags up bad memories of her past that she is forced to deal with the only way she knows how: Vodka.

Chess’ hunches prove correct, quite to her dismay, as she and her trainer are captured by the ghost controlling assassin. Thanks to her quick (or drug induced) thinking the ending is a complete surprise to this reader and makes me crave the rest of the series, that I MUST now go purchase to follow the rest of the exploits of Chess and her Debunking career.

After reading this book from front to back in a 5 hour period, I can honestly say it is riveting and will definitely keep your interest peaked and your free time full. 5 stars from this reviewer, and I am now a fan of Stacia Kane. Thank you for writing this series.

Because of her impressive exam results, Chess is given the opportunity to work with the Black Squad for a week in order to help her choose her furture career in the Church. With no training, Chess has to dive straight in when the Black Squad are called to investigate a murder caused by a ghost. Chess is desperate to prove herself worthy of the Church, but it's not easy as she finds it very difficult to work in a team. Chess struggles with spending time with her mentor, Jillian, and the only way she can cope is by drinking vodka. The more Chess finds out about the murder the more eager she becomes to solve the case even if it means displeasing her mentor.
After reading 4 books in the series and getting to know a Chess who is confident and sure of herself, well at least when it comes to her job, it was strange reading about a young Chess who had zero confidence and no self esteem in regards to anything in her life - herself, work, friends or men. It was actually comforting to already know that future Chess would be good at her job and be aware of her worth when it came to her abilities at work.
I did find the mystery of the murders to be a tad predictable. Then again since it's a novella there really wouldn't be much room for a complex mystery.
I enjoyed the scenes with Elder Griffin, I initially thought that Elder Griffin had took Chess under his wing when she first started with the church at age 15, so I was suprised to see that it was only until she was 18 that they started to have a friendship. I also liked the brief scene with Doyle, he was actually quite a nice guy and in reading his scene I never would have suspected that he'd turn out to be such a douche.
I liked Trent and Vaughn and their interactions with Chess..I kind of want them to appear in future books. I prefered Trent over Jillian, Jillian was very snake-y, at least Trent didn't pretend to like Chess.
That end glimpse of Terrible was brill! Chess's perception of Terrible's looks have come a long way..I bet she never thought she'd be attracted to him.
For a short story there's a lot of important background and history that's covered. We find out how Chess became an addict, I had always assumed that it started in childhood so this gives readers some much needed insight into the origins of her addiction. We also get to see how and why she became a debunker, the start of her relationship with Elder Griffin, more insight into how important the church and her work is to her, Chess's first visit into the underground City, why she decided she'd rather live in Downside than in Church accomodation and more understanding of her inability to have friendships and relationships.(less)

So when I saw this prequel novella available on Netgalley I jumped at the chance to review it. As someone who is completely new to the series I was a little worried that there might be things in the novella that didn't make much sense to me - I've had that happen a lot where a story that is supposed to be a prequel is actually better when read after at least the first couple of books. Luckily that wasn't the case with Finding Magic, yes I was left with questions after I finished reading but it had me so keen to find out more that I immediately ordered the first book!

Chess is 18 years old and has been training to become a Churchwitch for the last three years. From what we've seen of her so far she isn't the typical heroine that you come across in urban fantasy novels. She has had a difficult childhood being passed from one foster home to another and has obviously been left emotionally scarred by the abuse she has suffered. We don't find out the full information about what happened to her so I'm assuming that is something that you discover more of as the series progresses but we see enough to know that she is haunted by the past. She is desperate to make something of her life but at the same time she doesn't feel worthy of any of the good things that happen to her. It was sad to see how she uses alcohol as a crutch to make it through each day but I have a feeling things are going to get worse for her before they get better.

I enjoyed finding out about the world Stacia Kane has created, I want to learn more about Haunted Week and exactly what happened during it and am looking forward to getting to know Chess better as the series continues. Anyone who is curious about the series could easily read this novella as an introduction and if you're anything like me it will leave you wanting more.(less)
