Underground<\/a><\/em> (2008) Kat Richardson<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I have got to start paying better attention when I pre-order books.<\/p>\n

I now have two copies of Underground<\/em>. (sigh)<\/p>\n

Harper Blaine is a private investigator who was beaten to death several years previously. She was only dead for a few minutes, but she woke up a changed woman, and able to see ghosts and other spirits that remain unseen to most people. She has slowly been learning how to use her sight, as well as the ability to manipulate the grey, but this has not been an easy journey for her, as seeing what others can’t does not make it easy for her to interact with others; moving to avoid a ghost or being yelled at by a spirit can cause reactions that other may take in the wrong way.<\/p>\n

Underground<\/em> begins with Harper still in physical therapy, in a disintegration relationship with Will, and a call from Quinton. Someone or something has been killing the homeless who live in Seattle’s Underground, and Quinton thinks Harper can help him track down the killer.<\/p>\n

I really liked the exploration of Seattle’s Underground. Even though what Harper explores doesn’t truly exist, the fact that something very like the Underground exists completely fascinates me. I’ve read other stories by other authors that contained underground streets beneath the city, but for some reason I just assumed this was part of the fantasy element. <\/p>\n

Apparently not.<\/p>\n

As for the mystery, it was interesting, though not nearly as fascinating as the underground city of Seattle. I still like Harper, and enjoyed discovering more about Quinton, but the mystery seemed a little weaker than the previous two books. <\/p>\n

If you have not read the previous books in Kat Richardson’s Greywalker series, you should be able to enjoy Underground without the background of the previous books. <\/p>\n

Not that this is going to stop me from pre-ordering the next book in paperback. I just hope I only order it once.
