    This is a supernatural book I've been enjoying lately; the world-building is incredibly complete! Ghosts are ranked from D to SS, and those who control them are corrupted by them; the more they use them, the more likely they are to be turned into monsters.

The team is constantly on the verge of death on missions; there's no protagonist's plot armor, and the slightest mistake can lead to total annihilation—the atmosphere is amazing.
