Downpour: A Greywalker Novel Kindle Edition
Harper Blaine was your average small-time PI until she died—for two minutes. Now Harper is a Greywalker, treading the thin line between the living world of the Pacific Northwest and the paranormal realm. And she’s discovering that her new abilities are landing her all sorts of “strange” cases.
After being shot in the back and dying—again—Harper has lost many of her powers. Now, if the Greywalker dies one more time, she won’t be coming back. Harper’s only respite from the chaos is her work. But while conducting an investigation in the Olympic Peninsula, she sees a ghostly car accident and finds a victim who insists he was murdered, blaming the nearby picturesque community of Sunset Lakes—called “Blood Lake” by locals.
Harper soon learns that beneath the icy waters of the lake hides a terrible power and a host of hellish beings—both of which are held under the thrall of a sinister cabal that will use the darkest of arts to achieve their fiendish ends…

First, I have always thought of Harper as a bit of a sociopath. She often displays an almost-negligent view about other people's safety. She frequently puts truly non-combatant characters into harm's way and doesn't express much of a connection with any of the other characters. Her romantic relationship with Quinton? Psssh. I just don't see it.
Second, the author describes things in excruciating detail. She'll spend 4 pages describing a town, a street, buildings, people....of a place the character spends 10 minutes in or a person she spends 2 minutes speaking to. Did I need to get 4 pages of history about a town she literally just DROVE THROUGH? It's just padding.
I gave it a 3 star because it's not a bad way to waste time, and maybe someone will like the weird, sometimes non-sequitor descriptions and similes.

Harper Blaine is working on a very ordinary case for a lawyer, when she sees the ghost of a murdered man burning in his car. This is precisely the sort of thing she can't ignore, so she begins poking around. Before she knows it, she's stirred up a whole nest of mages--not to mention Chinese demons and various other Otherworldly creatures.
The book pretty much grabs you from the get-go, and doesn't let up much in the next 300-odd pages. Harper isn't a superwoman, which adds to the appeal. She gets tired, hungry, and lonely, like the rest of us. Sure, she's got special abilities, but they don't always work the way she thinks they will. In fact, her abilities with the Grey have changed quite a bit since the events of "Labyrinth," and she's still adjusting to that--not to mention recovering from a gunshot wound.
Add to this realistic protagonist the nods to arguably the greatest of the American noir practitioners, Chandler and Hammett, you really can't miss by picking up this book.
