Possession: Greywalker Novel #8 [BOOK REVIEW]

In Possession, Harper’s friend Phoebe sends a distraught woman named Lily to find the investigator and ask for her help with Lily’s comatose sister, who is displaying “automatic painting”–a condition in which a person is being controlled by a spiritual force to paint something they’ve never seen before. While the case at first bears similarities to a possession, Harper quickly discovers there’s more to it than that, as she stumbles across a mystery that’s woven into the very ground she treads.

Ghosts & Carpet Sharks #1: Greywalker’s Kat Richardson [INTERVIEW]

If you are new to the series, Greywalker chronicles the first-person perspective of Seattle Private Investigator, Harper Blaine. After a catastrophic assault left Harper dead for two minutes, she came back with the ability to see into the Grey: the spectral realm that is the home of apparitions, wraiths, broken fragments of time, and a deadly monster called the Guardian, who helps make sure the two worlds don’t intermingle (and, as it turns out, is Harper’s boss). Because she can see things no one else can, spirits and other invisible “residents” of Seattle…
