Urban Shaman
Urban Shaman | C.E. Murphy
2 posts | 22 read | 2 to read
Joanne Walker has three days to learn to use her shamanic powers and save the world from the unleashed Wild Hunt. No worries. No pressure. Never mind the lack of sleep, the perplexing new talent for healing herself from fatal wounds, or the cryptic, talking coyote who appears in her dreams. And if all that's not bad enough, in the three years Joanne's been a cop, she's never seen a dead bodybut she's just come across her second in three days. It's been a bitch of a week. And it isn't over yet.

Mehso-so

C. E. Murphy‘s debut novel (the first in an urban fantasy series) is packed with ideas and mixes Celtic and Cherokee mythology and makes interesting use of astral projection. However the plot is overly busy, with too much set up and main character backstory for it all to feel cohesive and at times it tips into being contrived. That said, I enjoyed Joanne‘s relationship with Gary and there‘s enough potential for me to read the next book.

Pickpick

Stress reading RANDOM Amazon finds .... Not a bad book all things considered. Brilliant escapism and a very skilful blend of what seems to be well researched Native American and Celtic mythology. Fast paced and decently plotted, this filled its stress reading brief and was strong enough to tempt me to pick up others in the series.

GlassAsDiamonds @LoverofLit - this could also work for you if you preferred paranormal without romance. 😊 5y
