In the interest of full disclosure, I received a copy of this book at no cost from the publisher for the purpose of review.I am a huge fan of the Downside Ghosts series. I love the world that Stacia Kane has created for Chess, Terrible and all of the other characters. Chess is deeply flawed drug user. Terrible is a great character that has been well developed within the series.This short story is extremely well written. I did wish that it were longer but that is just because I am greedy and want to read the next book in this series now! This story takes place within a junk yard and includes both Chess and Terrible (because a short story without Terrible would not be nearly as good!). They get into some trouble with the woman who lives in the house there. I loved Kane's description of the home. I could see the filth from my own living room. Chess and Terrible work together and after some exciting moments are able to safely go home.Even in this short piece, I could see that Chess and Terrible are both willing to sacrifice everything to protect each other. Both of these characters are quite flawed but their love for each other is very real and it feels real on the page.I think that fans of the series will definitely enjoy this newest story even though it is probably not central to the overall plot line. It is more of a short self contained episode in their lives that we don't get to see between books.
