Karen Marie Moning has called Stacia Kane's Downside Ghosts series "dark, sexy urban fantasy at its finest." Now, in this breathtakingly suspenseful eBook novella, Kane has written a prequel to her thrilling series. Before Chess Putnam was a magic-wielding Churchwitch, she was a student in the Church of Real Truth--with a keen sensitivity to magic, a strong rebellious streak, and a penchant for self-destruction. And in Finding Magic, a grisly ghost murder becomes Chess's baptism of fire.
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. Though the seasoned Inquisitors consider the series of ghost murders random events, Chess starts to detect a pattern. Is a psycho killer summoning ghosts from the City of Eternity and using them as murder weapons? As Chess gets closer to the dark truth, she puts herself in grave danger and risks losing everything she's fought so hard for.
Includes a special preview of Stacia Kane's upcoming urban fantasy thriller, Chasing Magic!
This is promising! I really like Chess so far - she's a bit screwed up and damaged and complex. The world-building was pretty interesting though I felt a little behind at points, maybe due to the short story format. Definitely looking forward to this series. On to the next! ( )

This novella has some interesting back story about Chess's early experience as a Churchwitch. It's not an especially sizzling story, but suited me just fine while I wait for another novel to be published. ( )
Meh. Not my favorite. I enjoyed the first half more than the second. Felt like it was a bit too far-fetched and that made it hard to take any of the characters seriously. ( )
