Mean Streets



The Blurb...
The best paranormal private investigators have been brought together in one volume - and cases don't come any harder than this. Jim Butcher delivers a hard-boiled tale in which Harry Dresden's latest case may be his last. Nightside dweller John Taylor is hired by a woman to find something she lost - her memory. Kat Richardson's Greywalker finds herself in too deep when a simple job goes bad. And detective Remy Chandler has been hired to find out who killed the immortal being we know as Noah.

My Opinion...
A great anthology. I loved Jim Butcher and Thomas Sniegoski's novellas so much. Initially is was the Harry Dresden tale that pulled me to buy this collection. Remy Chandler is someone I'd like to get to know, going to read more from this author.

Poltergeist by Kat Richardson



What the Blurb Says...
Meet Harper Blaine. She doesn't just see dead people? Harper Blaine was your average small-time PI until she died - for two minutes. Now she's a Greywalker - walking the thin line between the living world and the paranormal realm. And she's discovering that her new abilities are landing her all sorts of "strange" cases. In the days leading up to Halloween, Harper's been hired by a university research group that is attempting to create an artificial poltergeist. The head researcher suspects someone is deliberately faking the phenomena, but Harper's investigation reveals something else entirely - they've succeeded. And when one of the group's members is killed in a brutal and inexplicable fashion, Harper must determine whether the killer is the ghost itself, or someone all too human.

My Opinion...
I didn't really bond with this book and even thought the other books in the series were riviting I really couldn't get into this one, it was a chore to read.
