Shade City: The Dead Side Blues

By Domino Finn

For Dante Butcher, Los Angeles ghost hunting isn't a business, it's a pastime. Going to clubs, knocking back a few drinks, even taking the occasional punch are all in a night's work. But cool confidence doesn't prepare Dante for what begins in a piss-soaked bathroom. The Dead Side opens up a whole new world to him, and for the first time, it's the ghosts that are hunting Dante.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF SHADE CITY***

Dante Butcher has a secret. If a person has a second shadow inside him, Dante alone can see it. Called a Shade, it is a spirit from the dead side attaching itself to a living host, controlling the living for its own personal gain. Dante, with the help of Violet, a 12 year-old spirit attached to an antique pocket watch in his possession, feels like it’s his duty to expel every dark spirit he encounters.

This story started a little slow but picked up and got interesting about half way through. I have never been to Los Angeles, and the way it is described deters me from ever wanting to go there. I know the dark side of the story is pure fiction, but even the description of true LA is not even enticing. As Dante learns the true story, of how the Shades jumped through the McAllister lineage, it became slightly confusing and difficult keeping up. I was disappointed that the reason for Dante’s ability was never revealed. I felt that there was more to learn along that line. Overall though, I really liked the story.
