Absolutely love this cover
Now THIS looks exciting! Invisibility hexes, heavenly artifacts, hidden angels and one exhausted private eye with a blank memory! Looks like a great mix of mystery, adventure and supernatural mayhem. Watch out Blackpool!
Detective Rita Hobbs lives on the Lancashire coast in the holiday town of Blackpool. A dreary place for a young woman where the last exiting thing to happen was the cast of Dad's Army switching on lights to the Blackpool Tower. In her efforts to get somewhere that's a happening place and join a lively bunch more her age, disaster occurs. She is no longer visible. Worse yet, she discovers Blackpool is more than Pleasure Beach and a few naff carnival rides. It harbors awful secrets, cloak-and-dagger stuff of the unearthly kind.
What a great sample. You know a book is good when, after reading a few chapters, you're so invested in the story and the characters you want to devour the rest right away. This is my first time reading David Bussell. It won't, however, be my last.
One of my favorite UF series starters. Joe is cut from a different cloth, certainly not your average gritty UF main, but he's hilarious and dopily charming. It's a breath of fresh air.
Love the title and cover.
very beautiful cover :)
Love these books - Bussell never disappoints!

Normalized (Book One)
When Captain Might started writing his journal he was the most powerful man on the planet.
The all-conquering American paragon who knifed the sky like a buttered bullet and fired beams from his eyes so pinpoint deadly they could knock the prick off a Martian. That was before his arch-enemy lured him into a trap, snuffed out his powers and transformed him from a superhero to a superzero.
Now, grounded and struggling to re-define his place in the world as a “normal”, Captain Might documents his return journey to the realm of super-heroics, only this time minus the super.
But will he settle the score with his nemesis, or will he learn the hard way that ordinary men are only capable of ordinary things?

She wasn’t born with powers, but thanks to her Uncanny Ink—arcane tattoos that transform her body into a magic-fuelled killing machine—she’s more than a match for anyone dumb enough to stand between her and getting paid.
Fresh out of prison, Erin wastes no time getting back to what she does best: running down wanted men and claiming their bounties.
But when a powerful demon lurking in a black cathedral hires her to round up an errant soul, the creature offers a reward far more valuable than money…
He offers Erin the key to unlocking her tragic past. The key to the mystery surrounding her long-lost brother.

Thrust into a world she doesn’t understand, Rita finds herself trying to solve a case that by any sane measure is unsolvable.

To atone for his mortal sins, he becomes a spectral detective; a phantom PI who helps restless spirits depart the earthly plane by bringing their killers to justice.
His latest job is no open-and-shut case though. The ghost of a dead woman needs his help to pass on to the other side, but for that to happen, Jake will have to defeat a demon.

An evil beyond anything she can imagine is loose; something with the power to crush her like a bug... and it’s back to finish what it started. Does Stella have what it takes to defeat a threat this powerful, or will the creature of her nightmares snuff out the Coven for good?
