This is the 4th book in the Greywalker series. The 5th book Labyrinth was just released; last I heard there are 6 books planned for this series. This book was a great addition to the series and it tied together a lot of the occasional random things that happened in the previous books. I listened to this on audio book; which was okay. The lady reading the audio book has a little trouble distinguishing male voice, but other than that it was well done.
Harper is having nightmares and receiving ghostly phone calls telling her she has to go back to her past if she is going to figure out what is happening to the supernatural world at large. This takes her to California for a visit to her mother, here she finds out new information about her father. She is forced to leave California in a hurry when vampire lord of Seattle, Edward, requests her help with something that is happening in London. So off to London she goes. What she finds there is creepy and wide-reaching. She finds she is part of a plan that started before she was born and the results of it might destroy the supernatural world as she knows it.
This was a great book. Some of the strange unexplained things that happened in previous books finally make sense. In fact it was impressive how nicely Richardson tied everything together, you can tell she really thought this through and everything that happens in this series was planned from the beginning. Richardson focuses on a specific area for each book, in this case that was the history of London and London as a city. This was very cool since I had the pleasure of vacationing London earlier this year.
Harper approaches things a very practical attitude, plans out things meticulously and is smart; I always enjoy this compared to other series I have read where the heroine is scatter-brained and confused. Will and Michael are back in the picture for a bit; Quentin is mostly absent. We get the addition of some new characters that are fascinating; especially the fellow Greywalker Harper runs into.
We learn a ton about Harper's past and her powers as a Greywalker are further explored. I enjoyed all of it. The story does a great job of wrapping up the London storyline but leaves Seattle on the brink of disaster, as well as handing out additional questions about how Harper's father is involved with everything.
I did miss the inclusion of Quentin and Chaos, the ferret, as a result this book didn't have as much humor as previous ones. I did think that the plot was wonderfully intricate and that the description and characters were awesome. I really enjoy Richardson's writing style.
Overall another excellent addition to the series. I can't wait to get my hands on Labyrinth.

Found this installment to interesting and compelling. However,when I got to the end. I felt like something was missing.
Another fine installment in a great series. The "Greywalker" books have been filled with mystery, some magic, some action, some spookiness, and a bit of romance, but the romance is definitely subordinate to the other good stuff. I appreciate that.
Harper goes to London, and it's a wild trip with some very unwelcome discoveries. Really enjoyed the plot twists and turns in this one, from her visits with her mother to the secrets underneath London and especially the idea that all this hasn't just happened to her but been planned. Poor Will, though, he's definitely been through it.
Harper Blaine is a paranormal within both the real world and the paranormal realm. A greywalker to be exact. She is determined to find out why she became a greywalker and what happened to her father. Her initial investigation into her fathers death is tedious. She spends a lot of time with her mother whom she hates. Then, lucky for Harper, Edward Kammerling, leader of the Seattle vampires, calls her with a problem. And she is off to London to figure out what happened to John Purcell, Edward's London counterpart. The story finally gets interesting when she arrives in London and people are following her.
I liked the second half of this book and particularly the ending but the first half almost did me in. I really like Harper Blaine's character and her boyfriend Quinton. I hope they eventually get an adventure that is exciting and entertaining.

This is an excellent read. Harper Blaine is getting into more of her own past. A little dicey but if you have read any of this series it is really cool!
This story was not spellbinding for me, but it was interesting enough for me to read the next one in the series. The descriptions of London were vry interesting to me. Well worth while reading.
