New Michigan-Based Fantasy Fiction Release: Ghosts of Detroit Available for Preorder & Free Review Copies!

Ghosts, Mythical Monsters, and a Modern City Rebuilding No one ever really leaves Detroit. The city just doesn't let them go.

Kelsie Durham is out of dreams, money, and options. Returning to her haunted hometown is a last resort, a quiet place to lick her wounds. But the Detroit she comes back to is anything but quiet. The veil between the living and the dead is tearing, and her new house on Lovett Street is at the epicenter of the chaos.

Her new neighbors aren't just the living, but also the generations of ghosts who were waiting for her to come home. When a dangerous new street drug called "Glimmer" begins to poison the city's spectral residents, it acts as a lure for something far worse: ancient, monstrous nature spirits—old mythical gods—who are drawn to the chaos and hungry for the city's life force.

Caught between a ghost child with a penchant for pyromania and monsters breaking down her door as well as a mystery of how she seems to be the main character in a strange cast of characters on Lovett Street, Kelsie must forge a wary alliance with Neil, the haunted ex-cop next door who sees the same impossible things she does. To save her city, Kelsie will have to embrace the strange power she never knew she had and decide if a man who is "worse than drugs" is worth the fight.

Because in a city where the past is never truly dead, the only thing more dangerous than the monsters is the hope of a future. The final book (4) in the Murder of Crows fantasy/romantasy series by author Lorelai, Ghosts of Detroit is a found family romp through multiple dimensions of the living, myths of old Michigan, and the ghosts of a city where no one ever really wanted to leave.
