Description

Muse thought her life had ended twenty years ago because, well, it had.

Existing aimlessly for two decades as a ghost, she finds herself yanked along in a rip-tide of strange events. Thrust unwittingly into the midst of a group of paranormal hitmen-for-hire led by a man named Isaac.

Michael, a normally rational and righteous holy soldier of God, succumbs to revenge and hatred, sacrificing everything in the fight to destroy Isaac and everyone who associates with him. Muse, by virtue of her inadvertent association with Isaac, is on that list.

This is actually my first 'finished' fiction that I've ever written, which I completed about 8 years ago. I dug it up recently and I'm posting it as I thought people here might get a kick out of it. So, take that for what you will.

Chapters will be released daily at 6:00pm EST.

Review at ch 19:
Our MC Muse is a ghost and that comes with pros and cons.
Pro, she can't die, can't feel pain and can do all kinds of cool ghost stuff.
Con, Isaac the sorcerer has part of her soul as hostage and now she has to get used to her new "life" in the shared house of a group of freaky (but surprisingly friendly) supernatural hitmen. Thus pulling her into their constant battle with the Vatican.
Isaac's true motives stay a mystery. What is he really planning and who is the true enemy?
This fiction does not suffer from the usual RR mistakes, such as paper thin characters and long winded info dumping paragraphs.
The writing is good, grammar as well. The characters are fleshed out and individual. The story progression is smooth and there is an overarching conflict to drive the story.
I'd say the only way this falls short is that it is not as good as Kats newest story "The Masks Of Under", which is kinda nitpicky. It is great to see how much her writing has progressed, but in comparison the characters seem a little whimsical at times and the dialogue is not as natural, plus there is a bit of world building missing.
