Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Urban Shaman (Walker Papers #1)

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 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 body -- but she's just come across her second in three days. It's been a bitch of a week. And it isn't over yet.

Notice Of Books Urban Shaman (Walker Papers #1)

This is the book I've had more people telling me to read--all independently of one another--in years. It certainly seems like it would interest me.The genre is a common one for Luna. Strong female protagonist, modern fantasy/slipstream with the supernatural element hidden from most people, and a hint of sexual tension or romance. Our protag is Joanne Walker, an Irish/Cherokee crossbreed trying to go as mainstream American as she can. She's a Seattle cop by vocation and a mechanic by avocation,

Finally! It's over! I can't remember the last time I got so annoyed with a heroine. Oh yes...I can! It was a couple of days ago when I DNFed Heart of Stone, a book by this same author. It's clear that this author's ideas and mine don't match so this is the last book I'll read by her. (I finished this one because it fits two challenges I'm doing. Otherwise, I would have dnfed it too.)The first thing that struck me about Urban Shaman was the similarities between Joanne and Mercy Thompson: both are

I waited a very long time to be able to read this book. It seems that my librarian hates me and puts me on the very bottom of the waiting list for any book. The plot was interesting, but I was severely let down by the pacing. It was fascinating to read about this Celtic plot line. It took me by surprise that the main character was a police officer, and her assertiveness for trying to find the damsel in distress. It was interesting to read about an Irish Navaho (I know that sounds like and

Rating - "Am I supposed to rate books I DNF? If so 1 star." I made it through the first chapter. Usually, that would not be something to boast about but in this case I consider it an accomplishment. Anyone who has read any of my reviews should know that I like things that make sense. Even though I love fantasy and magic, there still has to be some logic present in the story. The story starts with a woman who is coming back from overseas from a funeral (actually, I don't even know her name). She

Urban Shaman. C.E. Murphy. 2005. Luna. 344 pages.Urban Shaman by C.E. Murphy is a book I wish dearly that I could have gotten into because I'm well aware of how the Walker Papers has gained popularity over the years...Sadly, I lost interest in the near beginning.Initially, I fell in love with Urban Shaman when Murphy makes a wisecrack about the vulgarity of Austin Powers' teeth in the very first paragraph! I thought to myself how could I not appreciate Murphy's humor?!However, when we meet Marie

Overall an enjoyable read. A reluctant mechanic in the police department is moved to help a woman she witnessed being attacked. She finds a cab driver to get her to the location and meets the woman, opening up a series of events that change her life. A reviewer characterized Joanne as a "reluctant heroine," and that captures the character mood well. She ends up involved in the supernatural, discovering shaman skills after a deadly meeting with the Wild Hunt. I enjoyed the introduction to her

Ms. Murphy managed to do something I didn't think could be accomplished. She wrote this incredible story that seamlessly intertwines Celtic and Native American folklore and mythology. Let me tell you this is a book you don't want to put down. It is so vivid it's like a movie, but I haven't seen a movie this cool. Hollywood doesn't like to take chances on women in high prolife action roles. And this is definitely a woman's story. Joanne Walker is running away from her dual heritage as a Cherokee
