What Members Thought
The overall plot of this book was a good read and I liked how it worked out in the end. The special celebrity assignment is used to further develop relationships and the characters. One scene in particular really gives you insight into Chess' feelings - she needed help they could both offer and called one and it didn't even occur to her to call the other. These characters really get to me - the way their emotions is portrayed raelly makes you empathize with them. (view spoiler)

Amazingly good, even better than the first book in my opinion. Chess's addictions dragged her further into the mire, complicating both of the intriguing cases she was working on, and that ending with Terrible just broke my heart. The UST was off the chart again up until that point, and the visit to meet Terrible's "friends" and their little girl was so sweet. But that scene of betrayal was so well-written I had no doubt of the emotions involved. The very end gave me hope, though, and I am so gla

Rating: ☆☆☆☆
Although I liked the first book in this series, I loved this one! It makes a big difference to me once I know the characters and have some of the background. It's like I can actually enjoy the story as it unfolds rather than trying to assimilate and process new information to make sure I'm keeping everything and everyone straight. The Downside Ghosts world is a dark one and Chess is a flawed character, but somehow Stacia Kane makes its so I want to live in their world and root for Ch ...more

This book was right smack in the middle for me as far as whether I liked it or not. I will admit at first I was ready to rate it a 1 or 2 star rating. However the ending of this book really redeemed it. Also Terrible after everything redeemed it as well. He was just the type of guy that you know is a bad guy, but has a soft teddy bear center. It makes you fall in love with them.

The relationship between Terrible and Chess is heartbreaking. I really want these two to get together but there always seems to an obstacle stopping them. I bought Unholy Magic and City of Ghosts right after I read the first book. I love this series and can't wait till the next addition.
