Downpour: A Greywalker Novel Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 236 ratings

Harper Blaine is on the mend, but evil never rests--in the latest novel from the national bestselling author of Labyrinth and Seawitch.

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 off, I've never liked Crescent Lake... Passed it many times on trips around the Olympic Peninsula and never wanted to stop. Now, I know why. LOL. I've read all of Richardson's books and I am drawn to the ones that are about the Pacific Northwest supernatural side. We were settled by the Irish and the Nordic hordes... the Norwegians and the Swedes. The native tribes have a rich art and story telling history. And, Richardson has proven her ability to grab and twist legends and mix them into a great mythology. I truly wish she would spend more time on developing new sagas for us... and this one is full of new sagas.

I thoroughly enoyed this series. The books are well written, lots of action and the lead character is tough. Start with the first book and read your way through the series. You won't regrett it.

The Harper Blaine series has never let me down yet. This is, I believe, the sixth in the series, but I have yet to see Kat Richardson "phone in" a book, unlike most other serial writers who seem to produce at least one lame effort obviously dashed off under deadline and reader pressure and in need of serious editing. Sure, I like some in the Harper series better than others, but there's never been one that hasn't sucked me in to Harper's dark, noirish world and compelled me to read until the end. "Downpour" is no exception. Richardson weaves an atmosphere of gloomy unease from the outset that, in her inimitable fashion, deepens into outright horror as Harper discovers mages and their awful minions run amok on the Washington coast. Harper on her own was enough for me, but now there's the bonus of Quinton, and intriguing new developments in their relationship that should open up whole new horizons for plot development. I don't know how Richardson maintains the passion and integrity that continues to fuel these intense, rip-roaring tales, but I'm grateful for the hours of reading pleasure.

I do generally enjoy this series of books, but I have two basic complaints about the writing style.
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.

This series gets better with every book. Richardson has been compared to Chandler and that comparison couldn't be more correct. While conducting a pretrial investigation in the Olympic Peninsula, our protagonist Harper Blaine, sees a ghostly car accident whose victim insists that he was murdered and that the nearby community of Sunset Lakes is to blame. While investigating, she must unravel the secrets at Blood Lake and stop the Grey things from controlling the area before it becomes a threat. Kat Richardson should be extremely proud of this masterpiece

If you have been reading this series then you have been anxiously waiting for this further evidence of Kat Richardson amazing talent.. We were not to be disappointed.. A further development of Harpers abilities despite the fact that some have "changed" when she died, again. I was constantly held in thrall of the superb writing and descriptive phrases , I kept wanting to stop and "write that phrase down" so I could savor it again at other times but could not stop reading long enough to do that. All events around me disappeared while engrossed in this book.. You cannot help but immerse yourself in the events unfolding before your very eyes.. No spoiler here but Quinton is an even more integral part of this much awaited book. Kat Richardson has further shown her amazing ability to make the unbelievable believable!

At first I wasn't sure how much i liked this one, but i just decided I did like it. Harper has become one of my favorite book characters. Though some things like the bad guy is predictable, my attention was still captured all the way through. plus you have to read each of the books to keep up with details, etc. Though this wasn't my favorite of all of them so far, it's still work reading

I've enjoyed the whole Graywalker series. They are well though out and written so that it's hard to put the book down. If you like paranormal and are not looking for a sappy love story. This is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good watery murder mystery
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 21, 2016
The pace of the series settles down again in this book and we are back into a murder mystery detective setting with paranormal base. I really enjoyed this and I think that of for some odd reason you wanted to, you could read this as a stand alone novel. The tone is less frantic than the last two books and I enjoyed the plot twists and unique ghosts and demons conjured by the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best yet
Reviewed in Canada on August 30, 2011
This is the sixth in Richardson's "Greywalker" series, and it's a humdinger.

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.

This is the second time reading Harper Blaine's cases and I "see" more things each time. Kat Richardson is brilliant in creating stories of the paranormal that is nothing like I've ever read before. Not your normal Urban Legend writer!
