Kat Richardson, Underground
Roc (2008) ISBN: 978-0-451-46212-1
Score: 2

Third novel of the Grey urban fantasy series, in which the heroine has to track down a Native American monster that is eating the homeless under the streets of Seattle. I found some of the plot twists a little too obvious (twice I knew exactly who they were looking for the moment they realized there was someone to look for), and I'm not too happy with the romantic subplot (the second half), but it's still a good series overall.

Kat Richardson, Greywalker
Roc (2006) ISBN: 0-451-46107-X
Score: 2

Start of the Greywalker urban fantasy series, about a PI who (after being dead for a couple minutes) develops the ability to see and enter the Grey, a realm halfway between the mundane world and the paranormal. She is not happy about this new power, especially since it acts as a magnet for all sorts of paranormal monsters. It may also be responsible for her two new cases: one involving a group of vampires, the other a necromantic artifact. Good characters and pacing, and the Grey looks pretty interesting though we don't learn much about it in this book.
