Close to You (Downside Ghosts #5.5) by Stacia Kane
The Holidays Are Hell.Churchwitch Chess Putnam has seen, and banished, her share of ghosts, but not of the Christmas Past variety—the holiday has been illegal since the Church of Real Truth defeated the undead and took control of the world in 1997.Yet when she and her boyfriend, Terrible, make a trip to an abandoned auto junkyard, they find more than the rusted auto parts and spare tires they’d bargained for. They also run across a creepy Miss Havisham-type hell-bent on reuniting with her long-dead husband just in time for Christmas—even if it means taking Chess and Terrible down with her into the City of Eternity…If Chess and Terrible don't manage to keep these ghosts in the past, they won't have a future…
*No Spoilers
It's been a long-long time since I last read a Downside Ghosts book, and reading this novella made me almost homesick.
In Close to You we find Chess and Terrible playing a game of hide and seek in an auto junkyard and they come across a mysterious Mrs Havisham who is trying to reunite with her husband......her dead husband! What will Chess do facing the unconditional love Mrs Havisham has for her husband and why this odd lady is still celebrating Christmas?
In this short book we get a glimpse of the Downside world Stacia Kane has created and it's admittedly unique! If you are a fan then you should definitely try it, but even if you haven't read any of the books it's a good start.
Happy New Year !
