Greywalker (The Greywalker Series #1)Author: Richardson, Kat |
|
|
Harper Blaine was your average small-time P.I. until a two-bit perp’s savage assault left her dead for two minutes. When she comes to in the hospital, she sees things that can only be described as weird-shapes emerging from a foggy grey mist, snarling teeth, creatures roaring. But Harper’s not crazy. Her “death” has made her a Greywalker — able to move between the human world and the mysterious cross-over zone where things that go bump in the night exist. And her new gift is about to drag her into that strange new realm — whether she likes it or not. |

Poltergeist (The Greywalker Series #2)Author: Richardson, Kat |

Harper Blaine was your average small-time PI until she died — for two minutes. Now she’s a Greywalker — walking the thin line between the living world and the paranormal realm. And she’s discovering that her new abilities are landing her all sorts of “strange” cases. In the days leading up to Halloween, Harper’s been hired by a university research group that is attempting to create an artificial poltergeist. The head researcher suspects someone is faking the phenomena, but Harper’s investigation reveals something else entirely — they’ve succeeded. And when one of the group’s members is killed in a brutal and inexplicable fashion, Harper must determine whether the killer is the ghost itself, or someone all too human. |

The toughest case yet for Greywalker and P.I. Harper Blaine, “a great heroine” (New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris), has arrived.

And she’s discovering that her new abilities are landing her in all sorts of “strange cases.” But for Harper, her own case may prove the most difficult to solve. Why did she — as opposed to others with near-death experiences — become a Greywalker? When Harper digs into her own past, she unearths some unpleasant truths about her father’s early death as well as a mysterious puzzle. Forced by some very demanding vampires to take on an investigation in London, she soon discovers her present troubles in England are entangled with her dark past back in Seattle — and her ultimate destiny as a Greywalker. |

Did you like the series? I got bogged down in book one, but then really liked the short story in the Mean Streets Anthology. Is she just better at short stories, our should I give the books a 2nd go?
Hello Cathy,
I haven’t read the series yet — although the books are on my to-be-read pile — but my wife has. She liked the series but said that the pacing remained slow throughout the series and the tension didn’t really increase. What she liked most about the series was that it was “different” in some respects from other urban fantasy novels.
Since I planned to read the series myself she just grinned at me and refused to answer when I asked what she meant by “different”. However, she felt that if you didn’t find the first book to your liking, you probably wouldn’t enjoy the rest.
–Greg
