Harper is asked to investigate a case of a woman seemingly in a coma, but who appears to be possessed by spirits and made to paint landscapes. It turns out to revolve around evil plots by Quinton's father, working with bone mages to … etc. Harper must banish the spirit who is planning to wreak havoc on Seattle, and also stop Quinton's father

I love her story telling and this was an interesting mystery. I think her dialog between characters is often strange and the reactions of characters during conversations is often strange. I often wondered, why is he mad or angry about that? Also sometimes when she is describing the grey it is difficult to form a mental picture of what she's describing. That being said, I really enjoy this series. ( )

I enjoyed getting back to Harper Blaine, though this seemed to start out a bit slower than previous stories. It felt like Richardson was explaining a lot, but this simply could be that I've read all the previous books, and there's information a new reader would need. Still wish it was spread out a bit more.
Harper is a bit more connected to the case she becomes invovled in, in that she becomes part of the case. Not quite a victim, but she suffers a bit more than usual. Well, she does tend to suffer in various ways for her clients, so perhaps this is usual. But she's more scared than usual, it seems. Like she has less control, more at stake. And she's more aware of that fear, and other emotions, than in previous stories. Like she's learned not to shut out the whole world.
But I have a new character to hate: James Purlis. Ugh. Keep away from Quinton and Harper! He seems just the right balance of calculating, cold, resentful, and knowledgable to cause them a great deal of trouble. And it looks like he'll be causing plenty more in the future.
A wonderful mix of ghosts and government spooks, the next story is already set up and promises to be quite the doozy. Lots of trouble headed Harper and Quinton's way. Perhaps this one was a quieter, more moderately paced story because the next will not be? A ghost story through and through, with all the creepiness you'd expect, just a little calmer pace than I'd come to expect from Richardson. ( )

Not my favorite in the series, but a solid addition. Honestly, ever since Seawitch, I've been hoping to see more books with Blaine and Solis working together. Sometimes I feel like there are too many plot elements crammed in for a book of this length, but they're still a lot of fun. ( )

Drawn into a case concerning ghosts and Persistent Vegetative States, Harper Blaine realizes that she is in a race against time as her client's sister fails. Malevolent spirits threaten both the Normal and the Grey, and only the Greywalker can stop them.

This book provides a showcase for Harper and her growth since she died for two minutes and returned from the other side a Greywalker. The aloof PI has found true friend and allies - and she's come to realize she enjoys that fact. They provide unlooked-for help in this frustrating case that has its roots in Seattle's past - and her own present.

A truly engrossing and fascinating read, this book is the best yet in this fantastic series. ( )
