Waking Up Dead

By Amanda Fasciano
Waking Up Dead by Amanda Fasciano digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Detective Cadence Riley never believed in ghosts, until she became one.

 

Killed in the line of duty, she finds herself recruited into a group that monitors haunted sites, making sure the spirits don't give too much away to the living. All seems to be going well until a group of cultists unleash a chaos demon in a haunted asylum. Being a detective and the drive to help others didn't stop with her pulse.

 

Now Cadence and her new partner Snow find themselves in a race against time. They have to find a way to stop the demon before it devours both the spirits and the living, and they may just have to break a few rules to do it. Being six feet under has never been so lively as she realizes her training officer is definitely in over their heads.

 

Join the team in this urban fantasy meets crime detective story and get ready for the series of a lifetime, er, afterlife!

Waking Up Dead Reviews

4.0
“I was a bit confused when I saw that the story already existed since 2016, but this ARC was apparently only for the Kindle version. (I don't know if there are any differences.) Now I'm very unhappy that the following books are not on Kindle yet and that I'll have to wait for them to be released as well. I really enjoyed the story about Cadence Liberty Riley, a cop who dies in the line of duty and got the chance to continue her work on the other side. I loved her development and the plot about a cult who accidentally created an evil chaos spirit. Cade and her partner, Snow, have to bend all the rules and even work together with the Ghost FBI and a living group of ghost hunters, to solve the problem. The book is nicely wrapped up, so no bad cliffhanger; however, there are a lot of loose strings, ready to be continued in the next books. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.”
