Vanished (Greywalker, Book 4) (edition 2009)

Amazon preorder

Nice! I was very glad the main character was taken out of her comfort zone--away from Seattle--even if she did learn the geography of London a bit too quickly than I thought was realistic. I'm a bit annoyed that this was really a Part I of a II part story (to be resolved after she's back in Seattle) but enough was resolved here that I'm not too bugged by it. Although this is another character that improbably survives, it's entertaining enough that I can look past that as well. ( )

In this book, our protagonist, spunky PI Harper Blaine is in search of answers. How is her father linked to the Grey? What is happening with the vampires in Seattle? Why is she dreaming of Will and her death? When Edward hires her to go to London to investigate his business and find Purnell his missing associate, she agrees to go. Once in London, some of her questions are answered and what follows is a fast paced, suspensful investigation that will keep you reading late into the night. One of the best PI, mystery series I have ever read. ( )

Its was slow in the beginning, which took 2 weeks to read. However wanting to know more i kept on reading. The end was good and make you want to get the next book. Not sure if i will or not but thinking about it. ( )

There were some fun parts on the book, Harper talking to the bust of Sekhmet
outside Sotheby's and her very informative conversation with Temperance, Chastity and Prudence. I can imagine Harper cursing her fate, running around London talking to statues trying to save herself and her ex-boyfriend Will from vampires and other creatures of the dark.

This wasn't the best of the four and I might have jumped the gun with my Mercy Thompson comparison. Harper Blaine is a strong heroine but her story's development is falling short. So I'm taking a break and maybe a dash of something fun will clean my palate a bit. ( )
