The Ghost with a Knife at Her Throat: A Dizzying Urban Fantasy - 4 books all Kirkus starred (The History of Light Book 1)

Over 5 enthralling books, a brilliant (but slightly broken) painter and a psychic monarch confront the end of time, the death of light, and human extinction, with nothing but supernatural magic and snarky banter."Their relationship is the fuel that powers the narrative to its stand-up-and-applaud conclusion. Propulsive, funny - readers will be enthralled right up to the very last page." - KIRKUS (starred review)Sparkling prose, propulsive pacing, disaster romance - hop on the Asher Gale roller coaster. He's an art authenticator and "recovering" addict who's forced to investigate the shadowy, supernatural art galleries of Skysill Beach to solve a ghost forgery. Or is it a murder? It hardly matters - answers are buried so deep in Skysill, all he finds are shape-shifting monsters, ancient curses and a psychic beach queen named Caroline.Their partnership starts as a dangerouse question mark and grows ever more perilous as their worlds - his forgery, hers the supernatural - come together, until they find themselves risking their lives just talking. And all the while Asher's other problems are mounting day by day: the fact that he's crazy, the fact that Skysill Beach is filling with ghosts, the fact that the end of time is about to tear apart reality.You’ll love this series if deeply drawn characters and epic, contemporary world-building keep you reading late into the night. If you love snark, pathos, and unhinged prose, these are your books. But be warned - the stakes in this story start from the first chapter and never stop growing, all the way to the dizzying final page of Book 5 and "the stand up and applaud conclusion."
