Book Review of Urban Shaman (The Walker Papers, Bk. 1)

Urban Shaman (The Walker Papers, Bk. 1)
bkxchange avatar reviewed on


This is action packed urban fantasy with a kick-ass heroine in the Rachel Morgan/Mercedes Thompson mold. A strong young woman with more than her fair share of personal conflicts in her past, Joann Walker becomes a police officer in Seattle. Just when she thinks she's going to lose that job, she learns, through a quixotic rescue attempt, that she has shamanic powers. Her immediate problem is staying alive while stopping a series of murders with these abilities she doesn't understand.
Lots of physical and meta-physical action, charming secondary characters, and good use of Celtic mythology and historical lore make this a fun read.
