Once you've fallen, the only way back is up.
At forty-five, Alex Scott has lost everything: her fiancé, her job, her dog, and what's left of her dignity, all in the same week. She's unemployed, heartbroken, and drowning in vodka in a Jersey City apartment.
Then a mysterious stranger with no name and no memory appears on her street corner. What starts as a grudging act of charity becomes a cross-country chase and a reckoning with the darkest parts of herself.
Because Crystal isn't human. She's a fallen spirit, and she was Alex's guide before a power-hungry billionaire began severing the connection between humans and their guides. Now JT Wilson, tech titan, assault enthusiast, and chronic farter, will stop at nothing to exploit that link for profit and control.
Alex has a choice: chase the glittering lie of success, or finally face the monster that lives inside her head.
Which would you choose?
Visionary fiction at its darkest and funniest, Fallen Spirits is a genre-bending story about addiction, trauma, and what it really means to find yourself.
Fallen Spirits is Book 2 in The Mind Monsters series. Book 1, Rock Gods & Messy Monsters, Hatz's award-winning debut, introduces Alex twenty years earlier in a surreal, alien-owned record company in 1990s New York City.
