Ilustration As Books Poltergeist (Greywalker #2)
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.

This book actually creeped me out. In a genuinely nervous, peering into dark corners kind of way. I haven't run across a ghost story that did that in quite awhile, and last night after putting The Squirt to bed and curling up in my rocker to read, I found myself glancing repeatedly at my watch, wondering when DH would be home to keep me company. The cover doesn't help. Harper looks much more sinister (almost possessed) than she did on the cover of Greywalker. So kudos to Kat Richardson.I like this series well enough, but I think I drag my feet about reading it because I am bored with the denial trope. In this instance it's the denial-to-acceptance trope of accepting powers.I love that the ferret's name is Chaos, though. It's a perfect name for a ferret. :)
I read the first book in this urban fantasy series a few years ago: it did not leave much of an impression. Recently, when someone abandoned books 2-4 in the staff canteen, I decided to give the series another go. (It was that or read Tom Clancy. Save me from that!) This book, second in the Greywalker series, follows bland private investigator Harper Blaine. Harper is a new "greywalker" - one who can slip into the shadowy world/substance where the vampires, ghosts and ghoulies hide - and she
Not as good as the first in the series. Felt mired down in learning how poltergeist entities manifest and moving through "the grey". And I didn't find the characters all that interesting. And one thing I thought was missing in the book was the mention of Phoebe attending the funeral. You'd think that someone who was so distressed by a "family member" being murdered would be at the funeral and that Harper would see her and they would comfort each other or something. Don't remember any mention at
Second in the Greywalker urban fantasy series set in Seattle and revolving around a private investigator who can walk between worlds. My Take Whoa...the frauds aren't all that surprising especially with what's revealed about his past but the direction that Tuckman's experiment takes and its results are very unexpected. I like what Richardson is doing with the series as a whole and this particular installment was pretty tense. My only objection is that Richardson hasn't worked her continuing
In this second book of the series, like the first one, we tag along Harper's investigation for a new weird case she's working on. The plot is realistic and basically a detective story in a paranormal world. Harper keeps busy and has accepted her new reality, without actually venturing into it very much. She keeps avoiding learning more about the Grey until absolutely necessary and as she says herself at one point, she's being a bit too stubborn for a bit too long (or something along those
Real rating 3.5 stars. Kat Richardson is hitting her stride as a writer, and I found I enjoyed this book more than her last book. Harper is a PI hired to find someone "undermining" a scientific experiment on creating a ghost. The psychologist hiring her doesn't know that Harper can actually see into the world of the paranormal. There's an interesting cast of side characters, from the college professor and witch who help her with her skills, to her mysterious friend Quinton to Phoebe, bookstore
