Description To Books Labyrinth (Greywalker #5)
The toughest case yet for Greywalker Harper Blaine, "a great heroine" (#1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris). Harper Blaine was your average small-time P. I. until she died-for two minutes. Now she's a Greywalker, walking the line between the living world and the paranormal realm. There are others who know about her new powers-others with powerful tools and evil intentions, and now that the man who "killed" her has been murdered, the police are also paying close attention. That means Harper has to watch her step while searching for the ghost of her "killer"-who could be a valuable clue in the puzzle of Harper's past and her father's death, as well as a key to figuring out who's trying to manipulate her new powers and why. But with her growing powers pulling her into the Grey, Harper might not be able to come back out...Mention Regarding Books Labyrinth (Greywalker #5)

4.5Harper Blaine seems to be in over her head in this instalment. The first four books Harper was hired as a PI to investigate something. While the cases were not exactly connected to her, each new case brought her closer to the truth of her talent as a Greywalker and her father's suicide. Her London trip in the previous book helped her see the right way her personal investigation should go. She already knows who the villain is, but not what he wants from her.Labyrinth seems to be the highlightI really enjoyed this. I love the whole concept of the Grey, Harper, Quinton and Chaos. Poor Will, though.
I think it would have been cooler if she wasn't set up to be destined for being a Greywalker, but overall this one was okay
I still like the heroine a lot, but this book was not my favorite. She spins some excruciatingly boring, Anne-Rice-like prose about the similarities between labyrinths and keys. And as in the past few books in this series, the romance between her and the hastily chosen, incompletely developed boyfriend character, is even more unbelievable and almost unnecessary except as a plot device. (Why she would use this character as an alternate narrator for a couple of chapters simply mystifies me. Adding
I really had a hard time reading this book. I finally quit at about page 160. I don't know if you need to read the other books in the series or what but I did not find this book enjoyable.
This is the 5th in the Greywalker series, and for those new to the game, probably not the best place to start since it is tying up a long story arc that began in the first book. As always, the story is fast moving, and Richardson has a knack for adding just enough detail about the scene without cluttering the writing. If she says there is a glass on the table, pay attention, it is important. Only one complaint this time - I love Kat Richardson's books, I really do, but I found myself frustarated
although I have enjoyed this series so far and generally find Harper an enjoyable character there are many parts of this book that were excruciatingly boring and so bogged down in detail that really could have been left out without interrupting the premise of the story
