Overview
Once you've fallen, the only way back is up. Spirits falling from the heavens; an evil billionaire trying to rule the world; and one woman looking for redemption in all the wrong places. Adrift and alone in New York City, Alex Scott finds herself unemployed and heartbroken-again. Through her despair and bottles of vodka, she finds herself part of a cross-country car chase, connected with an underground network trying to reconnect spirits and save the world, and falling into the hands of a billionaire tyrant. Alex has a choice - fall prey to the shiny illusion of materialism or find the courage to learn who she really is. Which would you choose? Fallen Spirits is Volume 2 of The Mind Monsters Series. The humorous science fiction and slipstream adventure starts with Hatz's award-winning debut novel Rock Gods & Messy Monsters. There we meet Alex twenty years earlier as she begins her career and search for self in a satirical and absurdist New York City record company. Hatz's books are best described as imaginative and witty speculative fiction: humorous sci-fi infused with a healthy dose of slipstream, absurdism, satire, social commentary, and dystopian elements. ""You'll get no other book like this one. Unless we count the first. Imagination knows no bounds-or bowels-in this inventive, high-stakes sci-fi thriller. Fallen Spirits is an absolute whirlwind. Who in which world could connect such inter-dimensional insanity combined with the unbelievable truth of human reality like Diane Hatz has here? The worldbuilding is a mishmash of creativity; what Hatz dreams up, Hatz makes happen. Readers in love with the places language can take us will relish seeing what tricks the author has up her sleeve."" -Independent Book Review, Toni Woodruff ""...The author's intended message is clearly one of female empowerment, solidarity, healing, and redemption. ...Ending with a compelling cliffhanger, this book is the perfect setup for the next book in the series."" -US Review of Books, Joslyn Vann
