Today’s post is on Greywalker
by Kat Richardson. It is the first in a new series. It is 352 pages long and is
published by ROC Fantasy. The cover has the main character Harper with Seattle
behind her with the cover is shades of grey. There is mild language, implied
sex, and lots of violence in this book. The story is told from the first person
perspective of Harper. The intended reader is someone who loves urban fantasy on the gritty side. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Harper Blaine was your
average small-time PI until a two-bit perp’s savage assault left her dead- for
two minutes, to be precise.
When Harper comes to in the hospital, she begins to feel a bit… strange. 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 our world and the mysterious crossover zone where things that go bump in the night exist. And her new gift (or curse) is about to drag her into that world of vampires and hosts, magic and witches, necromancers and sinister artifacts…
Whether she likes it or not.

Review- I really enjoyed this book. It was so
different from the other stuff I have read recently. It was gritty with
interesting characters and a world that I cannot wait to explore again. Harper
is very natural. When she has all the weird stuff happen to her she thinks that
she is going crazy. She believes that something must be wrong with her. In the
end she has no choices but to believe it is true. I will say that as an
experienced urban fantasy reader it can get annoying how Harper just never
deals with the fact that this is her new reality but I cannot really blame her.
Other than her fighting with what she sees I liked this book. It was fun, it
has good world building, and interesting characters. In the next Harper is
going to learning why she became a Greywalker and I am looking forward to
reading it.
I give this book a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for
my review and I bought this book with my own money.
