Synopsis
Harper Blaine was
slogging along as a small-time PI when 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 ghosts, magic and witches, necromancers and sinister
artefacts... Whether she likes it or not.
something
is quite right in the world of Harper, not only is more and more mythical
creatures appearing before her, but she’s seeing scary shit just out of her
vision. Which is soon learns is called the grey, a place where ghost rest
(layman’s terms here).
But
more importantly, there’s something fishy going on the in vampire world and
Harper is put in the middle by a stranger she once new and a kid with eyes and
a story she just couldn’t turn down.
And
then there’s the antiquity.
Yeah.
This is a crime novel. A paranormal one as well. Which is kinda cool if you
like that type of thing, and mostly I have a problem with it. With that overly
crime topic, I can’t do it. I...yeah, I’m not a fan of it.
I
read this book in...shit 2010 I think, though it took me a little to get up the
steal to try the book out (I can’t even remember why I got this book, I think
it was only because I was given, or even bought a latter book in this series
and realised that I would have to read this one to figure out what the hell was
actually going on.) but I did, and though the writing skill of the woman, the
way the books are written, they are very well
done, in a way that even though I didn’t particularly like this book, the
subject matter and all that, I still read the whole thing and liked it. I just
didn’t like it!
There’s
just something I can’t enjoy about full blown crime, and I’m grateful,
seriously, you all should be to if you enjoy romances and YA because they are
still all at a costly price whereas you get into crime, you know, the type
people think is the only GREAT type of book, the pricing is through the roof.
If
you have read Greywalker and have a better review, contact me and I will replace
mine with yours, or add yours under this, because I want them honest but I know
that my liking of books isn’t yours and I want you all to have a great idea of
what this book is about, and there’s no one better to give you that, but by a
fan—they read them better, even more than one time.
