I can say Seattle a few more times if you'd like.
I think this is a good start but it's still rough. Something about the book was off and I can't tell you exactly what. For one thing, even though this was published in , it felt more like it was written in , specifically around technology. She's a PI but uses a pager and doesn't 2.
She's a PI but uses a pager and doesn't have a cell phone? And her printer uses fanfold paper so it can't be more sophisticated than a bubblejet. She also refers to the Bon Marche which went out of business in I know it takes some time for a book to go from draft to published but the buyout by Macy's was well known for quite awhile before it happened. The explanations for and descriptions of the paranormal in this world are way too convoluted, long, and mostly unnecessary.
The action is all too similar and a couple of loose ends were never tied up. I think she tried too hard at first to make Seattle feel real. She didn't get anything really wrong but it didn't feel right to me as a native either so I wasn't surprised to find she moved here later in life.
Her descriptions of Pioneer Square were really good, though also a little off, like she drove through it a couple of times rather than being personally familiar with it. Harper is a strong woman but quite stubborn and not that bright. She's pretty cowardly in many parts, too reckless in others but amazingly rational in one scene when she realizes she shouldn't confront the men breaking into her office.
She accepts the paranormal too quickly but it takes her too long to acknowledge what has happened to her. She doesn't want to accept it so she fights to avoid her powers even when it's obvious even to her that ignorance is going to get her killed. I wanted more variety in the action, especially with her taking an active role rather than having things happen to her.
In fact, in one extremely important sequence she spends most of the time just watching and then tries to run when she's needed. Another reviewer pointed out that this scene was unintentionally comical genius. I agree that it wasn't meant to be but was. But in her world, men and women were equals without gender stereotyped roles. The love interest is a great guy and it's just a part of the story; she's not constantly pining and fantasizing.
This is Seattle. We usually are more worried about whether someone looks like they are healthy and a good hiker or biker than whether they're tall and skinny. Think outdoorsy, organic-eating coffee drinking REI types rather than rail-thin models. It's a stereotype, true, but a pretty accurate one for the types of people in the parts of town in which everything in the story happens.
I think it's her California transplant showing. I definitely feel there are characters who have potential to be quite interesting in future books. The story itself was good and though I figured the mystery out much before all was revealed, the plot was still all right. I do plan to read the next one. Some day. View all 19 comments.
Jan 22, Rebecca rated it really liked it Shelves: fantasy , modern-earth. I picked this up after reading the short story by Kat Richardson in Mean Streets , which also featured Ms. First off, it's nice to see a female paranormal detective character whose actual cases seem to have more weight than her love life.
Female urban-fantasy detective-types, like Vickie Nelson or Jill Kismet, tend to meet some hottie on a case in their first book and then most of the time the two are in the same room we switch modes so quickly I can hear the brakes squeal.
And Vickie and Jill are the ones I remember because they weren't as bad as many. It seems like Men are from Noir and Women are from Romance. The only exception I can think of is Lilith Saintcrow 's Dante Valentine, who had a female lover in the past and a male lover in the present. Even then, the gay relationship ended Badly. But, that has nothing to do with anything, unless you count the fact I spent ten pages thinking Harper was male in Mean Streets , well past a date with a guy.
I didn't notice this with Harper, in that she strikes up a date with an auctioneer she meets in passing, notes that she wants to keep things low-key until the case she's working on ends, and the book makes it clear that he's not True Love, or even that Harper is going to meet some guy and do the mode switch like that.
I have a soft spot for some romance, but boy am I picky about it. Anyway, to actually talk about the plot and not vent about My Thoughts on Romance, after an accident, Harper develops the ability to see into the supernatural world and manipulate it. She thinks she's going crazy until a sympathetic doctor steers her towards some friends that specialize in weird stuff. On the job side, Harper takes a job to track down a missing college student, and locate an old piece of furniture for an elderly man.
It was nice to see the cases weave together, in that there was no plot-related reason to think they were connected, but Harper uses information from both to connect them. It also gave a better sense of 'this person has a real job', and doesn't just get weird cases dumped on her doorstep one at a time by the Paranormal Fairy.
I think that Storm Front did that too, only the cases were actually connected. One of the flaws is that I think the book tried to push Harper's powers as 'too much, too soon'. There are a lot of info-dumpy things from Harper's teachers, and thanks to some Trouble Harper gets into, she gets a boost to her powers with unknown side-effects.
I'd rather see her powers, and Harper's initial skepticism towards them, develop a bit more slowly. The book also introduced a lot of supernatural beasties at once. The ferret scenes were also adorable, in that Chaos acted like a ferret, and not some kind of fuzzy prop.

Seattle P. Harper Blaine died for two minutes at the hands of an angry man. She woke up able to walk in the Grey: the realm of ghosts, vampires, witches, and magic that exists between our world and the next. Haper Blaine in to extraordinary sales for a first novel. The series hit National Bestseller status in , to my unexpected joy. The books were translated into German, French, Polish, Russian, and Chinese, and marketed all over the world in print, audio, and ebook format. I figured it was time to let the series go—and give poor Harper a chance to live a normal life beyond the page—rather than create disappointing books.

Greywalker Series
Though that sounds a lot more glamorous than it is for the small time Seattle PI. At least until one of her clients tries to kill her and her injuries do cause her to die—at least for a little while. And when she came back, she could see things she never imagined existed. Now able to see an experience the Grey, she is faced with a world where ghosts, vampires and witches all demand her attention—and her client list has certainly become both more interesting and much much more frightening. Faced with a vampire coup, a lost vampire child trying to find his way in the world without a mentor, and a mysterious client seeking a haunted artefact; Harper has to investigate in ways she never had before—and finds her skills as a detective and a Greywalker in much demand. Of course, this very much results in her being thrown in at the deep end—and she must learn to swim even while desperately refusing to see the water.
