Another small tidbit from Shadow Play. Hope you enjoy.

Kyra shook herself and examined the Shade standing in front of her. She wore a long white night dress, which meant she could be lingering from one hundred years ago, or one of the latest victims. Shades seldom shared why they lingered in the mortal plane, whether they knew they were dead or not. They differed from ghosts, which held memories of people and how they had died. Shades, on the other hand had substance, knew they no longer lived. However, this Shade had made the small hairs at the base of Kyra’s neck stand on end.

Ahh Wraiths are something totally different. A tortured soul not dead, not alive. You'll see wraiths in later books regarding Elements. So much fun! But awesome comments.

I like the explanation about shades and ghosts, and like Gita, wonder about things like specters.

This is the first I'd heard about differences between ghosts and shades. I'd always used the terms interchangeably.  What about  wraiths? Where do they fit in?
