A wild ride

Wonderful plot. Amazing characters. Its kick butt and nicely paced. Love this series

Harper comes to life

Third book in the "Greywalker" paranormal fantasy series set in Seattle, WA. Featuring Harper Blaine, a woman who becomes a Greywalker after having died for two minutes. She is able to go into the Grey--the murky area between life and death, seeing ghosts other spirit-folk. This story features a series of grisly killings of Seattle's homeless community, where folks are showing up dead with body parts missing and having been quite literally chewed up. The murders, while being investigated, are not a high priority given the victims' status, and are being written off as "attacked by dogs" and such. Harper gets involved with the case when Quinton, her friend who does her tech work, designed her security system, etc. asks her to investigate as he knew some of the people who have died--and others who have simply disappeared recently. He knows about Harper's abilities and thinks she's the perfect person to look into things, and as she has no pressing cases, she does. Plunging to the world of the homeless, the Seattle Underground, and learning much about a local Native American myth, Harper makes some startling discoveries. This is the book where I think the author finally comes into her stride. Don't get me wrong--I liked the first two books just fine, but I didn't really feel "connected" to Harper and there was an elusive `something missing' from them. Whatever that was, it's now been found! This story sucked me in right away and I literally read this book in two sittings. I felt as though I finally got to really get into Harper's head, and the story wasn't just about her, it *was* her. I no longer felt like I was sitting on the sidelines. Very much looking forward to Vanished, the next in series. A+

Terrific mix of fantasy and history

This was an awesome addition to Kat Richardson's latest in the Greywalker series. I loved the mix of urban fantasy, mythology and historical facts. The series carries threads beautifully from one book to the next but each can stand on it's own merits. Must have for any urban fantasy or great fiction lovers!

This is a tight, taunt, mystery wrapped in the paranormal

Leslee of Night Owl Romance - 4.5 / 5 Hearts If you are looking for a new addition to your urban fantasy collection, then look no further than Kat Richardson. I discovered her by accident when her first book in this series, Greywalker came out. The premise, a private investigator who dies violently and is revived and can now see ghosts and the underlying energy in the world, was unique so I bought it. When I sat down to read it, I was blown away by how good the writing, the world building, and the mystery were. I would liken it to Anita Blake, the early years, without the sex and set in Seattle. Somehow I missed the second book, Poltergeist, but you can bet I will be rectifying that immediately. When I received Underground in the mail I was in the middle of two other books so it had to wait its turn. When I sat down to read it, I was sucked in. I didn't want to stop. The hair on my neck was standing up almost from the very beginning. To recap, we join Harper Blaine, PI extraordinaire, and her mysterious friend Quinton. He wants her to investigate why Pioneer Square's homeless are turning up dead and mutilated. Zombies are being sited in the Underground, part of Seattle's hidden past. We finally learn more about Albert the ghost who lives with Harper's friends, the Danzigers. We also learn more about Quinton and his past. It is obvious that this is not the end to Harper's adventures and I thank the powers for that blessing. Each book builds on the previous one to a certain extent so be warned.This is a tight, taunt, mystery wrapped in the paranormal, what more could a girl want. Ms. Richardson, keep `em coming!

Best Book Yet

This is the best book of the series so far. Alot of questions are answered that I wanted to know especially more information about Quinton which was supplied. The book was paced just right not to fast and not to slow there wasn't alot of unnecessary word usage. Out of the 3 Greywalker novels I can see myself reading this one again it was perfect from beginning to end and I can't wait for the next one.
