Jude had a private collection.
He had framed sketches of the seven dwarves on the wall of his studio, in between his platinum records.
Judas Coyne has just bought a ghost. Or at least, he has paid for a suit, on the understanding that with the suit will come a ghost. Just one more thing to add to his collection. The collection of a retired death-metal rock star. Only it turns out that it wasn’t just an accident that led to Jude visiting that e-bay wannabe website. Some one really wanted Jude to buy that suit. And once bought there are no returns and no refunds.

Book 5 in the Otherworld series
DDC: 813.6
Eva Levine is a half-demon half-witch who also happens to be dead. She’s not in heaven, not in hell, just in the afterlife. Or at least the one that supernatural beings go to after they die. She is also a little preoccupied with keeping an eye on her daughter, Savannah, although being dead she has no way at all of protecting her, talking to her, or ever getting in contact.
And now she has to repay a favour to The Fates by tracking down an escapee known as The Nix.
This is a very enjoyable read, full of humour it is a quick, light read. It is almost a standalone, and could be read without any knowledge of the previous books in the series. Although events in the other books are refered to, so having read them will help your understanding.
Personally I still prefer the two Elena-centred books, but this is every bit as good as the Paige ones and well worth a read.
