Publisher's Summary

Meet the operatives of the Carnacki Institute - JC Chance: the team leader, brave, charming, and almost unbearably arrogant; Melody Chambers: the science geek who keeps the antisupernatural equipment running; and Happy Jack Palmer: the terminally gloomy telepath. Their mission: do something about ghosts. Lay them to rest, send them packing, or just kick their nasty, ectoplasmic arses....

A threat to humanity rests on the bottom of the North Sea: the interdimensional entity known as the Flesh Undying. It is a monstrous being of unimaginable power, way out of the Ghost Finders' league, so the team has no choice but to accept an alliance with their evil counterpart, Project Crowley. Only the creature has already turned its eye upon the Ghost Finders - and dispatched an assassin with a deadly vendetta against them....

um

the epilogue basically started during what was supposed to be the climatic battle. all the books in the series to end like that....m

It says if Mr. Green just got tired and didn’t know what to do

I was extremely disappointed with books for five and six in this series. Grammatical errors, usage errors, continuity errors, and repetition enough to make me yell at my Alexa device. For such an established and accomplished writer, this book had errors such as not using the subjunctive tense, using the past when it should’ve been the pass perfect or past participle repeating the same information-we were told happy was dying by inches no less than four times in one book… And then, in book one it’s establish that Natasha is just as powerful telepath is happy. In the last book, she never uses her telepathy. What the hell is that?! Should we talk about the DEUS ex machina In the room? Nothing they’ve done has worked on Faust or Heather but I half ass idea to die and attract all the ghosts to defeat the flesh undying works like a charm. I only gave this three stars because even though the British humor got on my last nerve and the repetition and the grammatical errors were also annoying, the world building was pretty great and the concept was amazing. If this had been the first book in the series, I don’t think I would have continued. I wish we had readers had an easy avenue to give constructive criticism/feedback to writers but I know they’re too important and busy to take the time but if Mr. Green weren’t as established as he is and his editors actually treated him like they would treat a first time author, mechanically And therefore all aspects, this and his other works would be much better. Pipe dreams I know. In closing, if you’re just wanting light reading that’s fun I am generally fast paced, you might like this book in the series. For me, I was very disappointed and will try to find another writer in this genre. Happy reading!
