After becoming aware of the male-protagonist-dominated nature of my paranormal detective reading I've been looking for a good paranormal detective series with a female protagonist that doesn't rapidly head down the erotica or maiden in distress route for a long time.
Greywalker by Kat Richardson is the most promising I've sound so far. I like that the protagonist takes some time to get used to her abilities and that this is not done in too twee or convenient a manner - she takes time to start to control her new abilities and by the end of the book she's still got some way to go - a good thing as this is the beginning of an ongoing series. I like that she's got some useful skills but recognises the ability of others and uses the variety of skills that her friends and aquaintances have rather than being a one person solution to the ills of the world. I was briefly worried that it was taking a turn down the erotica route that so many have before but thankfully Greywalker proved me wrong.
Perfect? No. Looking foward to reading book two? Yes. Recommended? Also yes.

Hodnocení 3,5/5✩.
Tahle kniha nakonec vůbec nebyla tak špatná, jak jsem se podle hodnocení a recenzí bála, že bude. Četla se dobře, i když na pár místech mi přišla maličko překombinovaná a místy zdlouhavá. Myšlenka šera je zajímavá a když člověk vezme v potaz, že se odehrává zhruba kolem roku 2000, tedy v době pagerů a telefonních budek, je to taková milá nostalgie.

Tuhle knížku jsem začínala s opravdu neurčitým pocitem. První půlka byla zajímavá, ale pak se tam na můj vkus nahrnulo až moc nadpřirozena a začínalo to být zmatený. Přišlo mi jako by Šero jednou fungovalo tak a podruhé jinak. Nevím jestli bych šla do druhého dílu. Přiznávám, že mě to trochu zklamalo.

The Greywalker series is fabulous. Solid book in the urban fantasy genre, based in Seattle, fun strong female lead, and sometimes heavy on the foreshadowing. These books aren't overly serious or brand new (the author pulls a bunch from historical lore and reshapes old mythos), but are really enjoyable to read.

Very interesting take on the paranormal world. It was slow for me getting into it at first but I think I'm going to enjoy this Urban Fantasy series more and more.

I really enjoyed this book. I was looking for something a little different than my normal vampire/werewolf books which I was so happy I found Greywalker. I love ghost stories and urban fantasy books and this book brought the two together for me. I did find the book a little bit hard to follow at times but I still throughly enjoyed it and can't wait to read the next in the series.
