Picking up where "Vanished" left off, Harper is on the case trying to foil Wygan's nefarious plans, find Edward, save her father and oh, stay alive. Throw in an ex-boyfriend, current lover and a ferret and you've got a good read. Cleared up a few questions I had but leaves more to be discovered in the next installment.

{Previously Published on my blog: Welcome to Larissa's Bookish Life"
Rating: 2 & 1/2 stars!
*Contains minor spoilers if you haven’t read the previous books.
Labyrinth starts off right where Vanished let off. Harper is back from the whole mess that happened in London to find that things haven’t been peaceful at all at home.
The Vampire Leader of the city is missing, his assistant has gone to his rival’s Wygan’s side, Harper’s dad’s ghost is in captivity and her life along with everything she loves is in danger, again.
I was really looking forward to this new installment of the Greywalker series, but I have to say I was disappointed. One of the things I was really happy about was that Harper was coming back and I was finally going to see some Harper and Quinton interaction. Quinton was amazing and at his most supportive and loving, however Harper was so cold that it really bothered me.
Quinton was right there, ready to do anything for her, loving her and she couldn’t even say she loved him? After everything they have been through? I don’t get that. Ok, I get that she has been closing herself off and that she has lost people she loved, but it was just too much coldness for me.
The action was quite interesting and the plot was very intricate taking the stakes higher than they have ever been for Harper and her friends. Though I have to say that the pace was a bit slow at times and I had to keep pushing myself to through the book.
The ending was undeniably a surprise and it left a nice cliffhanger, I am very curious as to where Kat Richardson is planning to take the series. I just hope Harper warms up some, I really need her to be less cold so I can really get into her plea.
All in all, Labyrinth was far from my favorite book in this series, but it was an interesting read. Even though it had it’s shortcomings, I do recommend the Greywalker series to Urban Fantasy lovers!

The breakneck pace from book #4 doesn't stop - neither Harper nor the readers have a chance to breathe before being thrown back into the fire. As with #4, I felt like the cast of thousands was thrown back at the reader a little too quickly sometimes; with the number of months between books, remembering everyone Harper has ever worked with/against is a little hard, especially when you're processing a really complex plot! But despite being thrown out of the story to process and remember a few times, this was another fantastically paced book, with a cruel ending that makes me want the next book right this minute!

Actual rating 3.78 but I'll round to 4, so I weak 4 (a few slow points) but still probably the best book action and plot wise of the series thus far.

I picked this up at a library sale which is why I read it before the previous books in the series. It's quite similar to Jim Butcher's worldbuilding (and I notice Richardson has done anthologies with Butcher) but Butcher doesn't really understand women or people in general, and this was far better. the writing is compelling and wonderfully descriptive. Oh, and I loved the different mythologies and research woven into it, especially the labyrinth motif.

Labyrinth had me hooked from the first word. I've been very pleased with Kat Richardson's Greywalker series as the story has progressed, so has the writing as well as the characters, plot, and environment. We were given a deeper look into Harper and just who and what she is, and why she is that way. Revelations were made, loose ends tied up, but we are left with the knowledge, and insight that Harper's story has just begun. Now that she understands much more about herself, it will be very interesting to see how she deals and works with her developments in not only her abilities, but in the characters that lend themselves to her world. From her developing relationship with Quinton to the new power in town found in Cameron, there are new avenues to be explored in this Greywalker's life. I look forward to reading the next one in the series, Downpour.

I absolutely love this series, although this one was my least favourite of the series so far. At times it felt like information overload, and then suddenly there was not enough info provided to understand the storyline. The back half of the book was so good I had a hard time putting it down. Everything starting tying together beautifully.
After Labyrinth, I can confidently say that I'm obsessed with the character of Carlos. I hate him. I love him. The ultimate badass. Can't wait to see where the next one goes!
