Fantasy. Fiction. HTML:View our feature on Kat Richardson's Greywalker.

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.

I like this series. it is getting a three star rating because I feel that the first book's story was better. though I do like that the character seems to be getting used to her ability and doesn't get sick or talk constantly about being nauseous in this book. it tended to get a little tiresome hearing about it in the first installment. I am looking forward to reading the next one in the series! ( )

"Poltergeist" is the second book in the Greywalker series, about Harper Blaine, a Seattle PI who's near-death experience has left her with the ability to see and enter The Grey, a parallel space where ghosts and broken memories of the dead abide.

"Poltergeist" has a very original premise: a psychology experiment that involves the creation of an man-made poltergeist through the collective belief of a group of subjects.

Ths builds on the "Philip Experiment", carried out in Toronto in 1972, to create a fictional character that would nevertheless manifest in a séance.

Kat Richardson take this idea and builds it into a compelling murder investigation involving an over-bearing professor, a group of edgy individuals who all believe they have created a ghost and a poltergeist that is being used as a weapon by somebody.

Kat Richardson does a wornderful job of providing a strong logical explanation for all the action while deepening Harper's understanding of The Grey and her own unlooked for abilities.

The tale is told in a straightforward, whodunnit, linear fashion that grounds the story and grants it a kind of realism.

This is strong offering for the second book in a series. I'm looking forward to reading the rest..

So overall, I was really a big fan of the first novel, so I decided to continue on with the "Greywalker" series . I thought this second novel, was just an okay read for me. It wasn't as exciting as the beginning of the series, but things that are essential to the main plot of the series are included, so it not a good idea to skip over this book.

This time around, we get to a see little bit more into the backgrounds of our main set characters. Our main protagonist, Harper, gets a stronger hold on her new found supernatural powers and learns how to have some control of "the grey" with help from Mara, and the creepy (I don't know if we can even call him an ally at this point cause he's a bit iffy at this point) vampire Carlos.

Richardson keeps up the detailed writing again in "Poltergeist" by amp-ping up the supernatural and adds a poltergeist that becomes a problem to university research group. It was cool, but honestly, I felt a little bored while reading the book. And it could of been the mood I was in reading wise, but the excitement of the plot was just so-so. Although I do like how the mystery/detective style plot line is played out in this series.

Harper is hired by a local psychology professor to investigate the unexpected happenings in an experiment he's running on psychokinesis, involving a group of participants' ability to "create" their own poltergeist. Little does the skeptical Professor Gantner know how qualified this particular PI is for the job. The further she investigates, however, the more convinced Harper is that the group of misfits has, in fact, created a real ghost. And, when Dr. Gantner's assistant Mark is suddenly murdered in a decidedly unusual fashion, Harper immediately sets out on the trail of the ghost and the individual controlling it. From the spooky, beginning build-up to the interesting middle, it was pretty good. Towards the end the story started moving haphazardly and became predictable. I still look forward to reading more of this series. ( )
