Knowing now that this is a nine-book series and that the last three books are going to be one big roller-coaster, it makes sense that a lot of long-term things get addressed in this book. There are still some tantalizing hints about things yet to be revealed (no, I'm not talking about nudity, although there's a comically large amount of that in this volume), but this is really the book where Joanne graduates from "talented fumbler" to "powerful shaman." Thus, it's only fitting that the events in this book also center around the theme of transformation. The dance concert kicks off what seems to be an epidemic of shapeshifting, with alternately potent and hilarious results. When the smoke clears, Joanne's life has been changed in some key ways, and I'm about to follow along in book seven. This sixth book in the Walker Papers series. This novel follows Jo through some new challenges as she faces another bad guy. Her powers continue to expand, and she gets more comfortable with both acting on them and talking about it. Coyote is away leaving Jo to deal with issues on her own again. Morrison features more heavily in this story line including a pseudo date between he and Jo. Still well worth the read for fans of the series. I have to admit, I have read the Walker Papers multiple times, and every time I do (which is every time a new one comes out, and then whenever I feel a need for an upper) I get more out of them, and enjoy them even more than the last time. It is wholly admirable how Ms. Murphy has developed her characters through the series in a slow, methodical manner which allows you to grow to love them both individually, and as a group. I do have to disagree with the people who are wanting the "sexy Morrison" scenario to come to a head. Come on, people! Jo/Siobhan has a LOT on her plate! She has grown from an obnoxious, self-centred, arrogant mechanic into a nearly-fully-realized shaman in a period of months. Maybe kicking and screaming all the way, but she HAS grown. There is a little too much on her plate right now to gain the "reward" of a relationship right now. Who has time? Especially with everything that is coming up in her life. She was put here for a purpose, remember, and I would be devastated if she turned into just another stupid romantic fiction character, as so many kick-ass women in urban fantasy seem to turn out as. Sure, give her a love life, I am all for it, but keep her strong, working to save the world, not just a relationship. Ms. Murphy is doing an incredible job of making Joanne someone I can truly both like and admire! I have already read Raven, and can hardly wait for Mountain - - - and of course, I will go back and read all of them again before I start each one . LOL. THANK YOU Ms. Murphy, for incredible characters, marvelous world building (just WAIT till you read Raven Calls!!!) and a tight storyline which shows just how much Jo is making a difference in the world - sometimes, despite herself. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

For Seattle detective Joanne Walker, spring is about new beginnings. She's mastered her shamanic abilities (mostly), survived a cannibalistic serial killer (barely) and now she's facing the biggest challenge of her career--attending a dance concert with her sexy boss, Captain Michael Morrison. But when the performance--billed as transformative--actually changes her into a coyote, she and Morrison have bigger things to deal with. And there's more. Homeless people are disappearing, a mystical murder puts Joanne way out of her jurisdiction and with the full moon coming on, it's looking like the killer is a creature that can't possibly exist. But Jo could probably handle all of that, if one ordinary homicide hadn't pushed her to the very edge.... Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

These books are becoming typical.... I don't think I'll be continuing with the series.
Enjoy! ( )
