review 1: I seem to be in the minority here on this book. I thought it was too confusing. There was too much information about ships that I couldn't visualize. It was tedious. The bad guys were difficult to understand. What was happening was difficult to understand. And suddenly people who usually can't see grey can see things. There were too many characters that weren't important enough but I kept getting tangled in their names and places and relative importance. Even at the end, I didn't really understand what had happened. And Harper's cracked rib seemed a ridiculous complication. The best parts were about Solis. He's the most fascinating character in this book. We get a lot on his current family and some on his family before he immigrated to the US. It would be inte... moreresting to have a greywalker book told from his perspective. But I found it annoying that Harper kept checking in on his level of disbelief. I got it already. He's predisposed to skepticism. Good for him. Leave him alone and let him work it out for himself. His level of belief should not hamper Harper's movements or decisions.Quinton and Harper's relationship was also weird. I've been uncomfortable with super-secret Quinton as boyfriend material from the beginning. I like him but he doesn't trust people and he tells Harper nothing about anything. Harper being ok with that defies reason. And Quinton is critical of Harper and how she treats her friends. Why? These people identify themselves as her friends. They don't seem to have a problem with Harper using them as research staff. And if it wasn't for them and for Quinton, Harper would have nobody. Why is Quinton rocking that boat? Harper's relationship with her friends is hers to destroy or nurture as she and her friends see fit. How are Quinton's actions (and lack of friends) a model for Harper?I'll read the next in the series because I've enjoyed the series up to now.
review 2: I enjoyed this book. Harper Blaine continues to develop as an interesting and sympathetic character. Additionally, Richardson develops the character of Det. Sgt. Solis significantly. The scene is set for a more cooperative relationship between the two. The Puget Sound setting is fascinating, especially as I have recently sailed some of the same waters. Harper has to face a new set of supernatural creatures from the sea, although the settling of ghostly spirits is still her major responsibility as a Greywalker. Additional plot elements indicate the possibility of future action relating to Quentin's father. A very nice read. less
