Rendition During Books Labyrinth (Greywalker #5)
The toughest case yet for Greywalker Harper Blaine, "a great heroine" (#1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris).Harper Blaine was your average small-time P. I. until she died-for two minutes. Now she's a Greywalker, walking the line between the living world and the paranormal realm. There are others who know about her new powers-others with powerful tools and evil intentions, and now that the man who "killed" her has been murdered, the police are also paying close attention. That means Harper has to watch her step while searching for the ghost of her "killer"-who could be a valuable clue in the puzzle of Harper's past and her father's death, as well as a key to figuring out who's trying to manipulate her new powers and why. But with her growing powers pulling her into the Grey, Harper might not be able to come back out...

I enjoyed this book but felt like I needed a manual to understand all the grid talk lol.In this fifth installment of The Greywalker series we find our spunk protagonist PI Harper Blaine, returning to Seattle to find the city turned upside down. Edward is missing and the local police think they have a gang war on their hands. Harper, Quinton and the nightwalkers know otherwise. A powerful god wants control of the Grey and Harper is the key to his plan. Harper, her friends and sidekick Quinton must find Harper's Dads ghost, stop god-king of the asteme Pharaohn-ankh-astet and protect
To be honest, if Richardson had ended the series here, I would have been perfectly satisfied. In fact, I wonder if it wasn't a mistake to continue it. I really enjoyed the books after this one, but I didn't like the new story arc as much as this one. It just felt kind ofunnecessary? Richardson really tied things up well with this book, is what I'm saying.
I still like the heroine a lot, but this book was not my favorite. She spins some excruciatingly boring, Anne-Rice-like prose about the similarities between labyrinths and keys. And as in the past few books in this series, the romance between her and the hastily chosen, incompletely developed boyfriend character, is even more unbelievable and almost unnecessary except as a plot device. (Why she would use this character as an alternate narrator for a couple of chapters simply mystifies me. Adding
I really had a hard time reading this book. I finally quit at about page 160. I don't know if you need to read the other books in the series or what but I did not find this book enjoyable.
It's a toss up between this one and the last one...Vanished I believe (without looking)...over which is the darker one. If this keeps up it's certainly going to be interesting to see where Harper ends up. I just hope Ms. Richardson is careful and doesn't make Harper out to be some incredibly powerful person/creature all at once. The appeal of these books so far has been whether or not a character was going to make it through and in what state. I applaud Ms. Richardson for being willing to push
So... I enjoyed the last book a fair amount. My primary frustration with the series has been that the characters felt distant to me, perhaps because they were so normal. It is odd to read a book with characters who are so realistic that I don't connect with them. In this book, though, I felt like Harper spent so much time off in the grey that I could not tell what was going on. Indeed, the climax was so abstract that I didn't get a good picture of what happened until the epilogue. I'm sure that
