NonExistence avatar reviewed on + 239 more book reviews


"Urban Shaman" is a quick read and a good one. I strongly recommend you get into this series. Trust me, if you enjoy Kim Harrison,
Jim Butcher and Rachel Caine other novels of this type. I love female protagonists that are funny, quirky and aren't afraid to kick
a little bad guy butt. Joanne Walker is definitely one of these! The best part is there is not page after page of sex. I love the
paranormal and mystical venues.
Joanne is an interesting character, if a bit grittier and less sympathetic than most, and Gary is a delightful original. The pace and
tension are well maintained throughout, though there may be a bit too much blood for some readers. But what made this book
difficult for me was that Murphy never really clarifies the motives of Joanne's two more-than-mortal adversaries. But, this may just
be me, not getting the point.

There are, sequels [Walker Papers] Thunderbird Falls,Coyote Dreams,Walking Dead.
