Harper Blaine was slogging along as a small-time P.I. when a two-bit perp's savage assault left her dead. For two minutes, to be precise.
When Harper comes to in the hospital, she begins to feel a bit ...strange. She sees things that can only be described as weird-shapes emerging from a foggy grey mist, snarling teeth, creatures roaring.
But Harper's not crazy. Her "death" has made her a Greywalker-able to move between our world and the mysterious, cross-over zone where things that go bump in the night exist. And her new gift (or curse) is about to drag her into that world of vampires and ghosts, magic and witches, necromancers and sinister artifacts. Whether she likes it or not.

I can’t remember how or when I found out about the Greywalker Series, I do remember it was on one of my many and constant hunts for new Urban Fantasy series.
Harper Blaine is a P.I. and one day, during an investigation, she gets attacked by a man and dies, for exactly two minutes. That is when everything changes for Harper and finds out that there is much more to the world than she originally thought.
Harper is a Greywalker, a person that has the ability to walk through the Grey, a world between worlds, where time and space are a matter of discussion.
I have to say that The Greywalker series is not my favorite Urban Fantasy series, but it definitely has won over a little corner of my heart, specially when Quinton, Harper’s love interest and a an that is much more than he appears.
I think that for me the series is missing a bit more romance, though I know it’s supposed to be Urban Fantasy and not Paranormal Romance. I can’t help but want more, there are so many UF series out there that do a wonderful and highly successful job in mixing the gritty and romance.
I’m not saying that there isn’t romance, there is and I LOVE the dynamic between Harper and Quinton, but I feel that Harper can be a bit cold sometimes. However I do think she is a great reluctant heroine that definitely steps up to the plate when the need arises.
Greywalker is a series full of action, interesting plots and characters. A definite must read for Urban Fantasy fans that cannot help but love non-stop action and high stales storylines.
Least Favorite Book in The Series So Far: Greywalker, but just because so much changes in the following novels and I like them more =)
Favorite Book in The Series So Far: Underground, mainly because of Harper and Quinton’s relationship.

Great review! I have the first book waiting on my TBR pile and I'm thinking I should read it soon! It sounds like a fun series!
I really love the Greywalker series. I tend to like UF more than PNR because I'm not a huge fan of the HEA. I think that Harper and Quinton's relationship is a much more authentic relationship than one generally sees in PNR. It's more like real life. Harper is hard-boiled in some ways, I believe, because of how she grew up. I think that Ms. Richardson does an admirable job of explaining why Harper is the way she is. The books are terrific Urban Fantasy. They have no aspirations to be Paranormal Romance.
@kay
thanks =) I hope you enjoy it!
@Qwill
I totally get that and I do really enjoy the series the way it is, but I was somewhat disappointed w/ harper in Labyrinth, she was much to cold for me... yeah, Kat does a great job in showing us y she is the way she is... but it bothered me...
i do like PNR and the HEAs, but not all the time =)))
I've been looking at these books for a while now (I work at borders so I literally am sometimes looking at these books LOL) but have never tried them out simply because I've never thought it had a romance in it, or not enough I should say but I AM a UF fan so I really should! thanks for the review :D
@Camille
Now everytime you say you've been looking at a book I'll picture you just standing there, staring at it LMAO
Hope you give it a chance and love it =D
