Rendition During Books Raven Calls (Walker Papers #7)
Something wicked this way comes…Suddenly, being bitten by a werewolf is the least of Joanne Walker’s problems.
Her personal life in turmoil, her job as a cop over, she’s been called to Ireland by the magic within her. And though Joanne’s skills have grown by leaps and bounds, Ireland’s magic is old and very powerful…
In fact, this is a case of unfinished business. Because the woman Joanne has come to Ireland to rescue is the
woman who sacrificed everything for Joanne—the woman who died a year ago. Now, through a slip in time, she’s in thrall to a dark power and Joanne must battle darkness, time and the gods themselves to save her.

Raven Calls C.E. MurphyAll I can say is ---WOW. What a book. This has to be the best that C. E. Murphy has produced in this series yet. While I normally hate books that deal too much with history, (history of a religion, pantheons, witchcraft anything) in this book the teaching was absolutely painless, It was actually fun learning the history of these Legends and about the Fey.In this book Joanne has to find out how to stop from turning into a were-wolf, find her best friend Gary who hasSPOILER ALERT: It's impossible to discuss this book without referencing events from the previous novel, SPIRIT DANCES. Please don't read this post unless you're all caught up or don't mind spoilers from previous novels. (There's a bit of a give away in the blurb.)As you may have guessed from me daring you to read URBAN SHAMAN, the first book in the Walker Papers, I'm a big fan of the series. Seven books in, I'm still completely hooked.At this point in the series, Joanne's quite different from
I first picked up "Urban Shaman" Urban Shaman (The Walker Papers, Book 1) back in 2009, during a really bad part of my life. Urban Shaman was recommended to me by a bookseller whose tastes I shared, and, I must say, I was immediately drawn in to this new and fascinating world. Since then, Ms. Murphy has never failed to deliver what I believe to be some of the most well written character development and world building in urban fantasy today.Writers can take many directions with their work, and
For tonight's rendition of Lazy Reviewing, I'm pilfering my own posts from the comments section. (Don't judge me. This is the seventh book.)Raven Calls might be a Walker novel, but with the story placed out of time and in a different setting (view spoiler)[and Gary and Morrison being out of reach for long periods (hide spoiler)], it almost read like an aside to the series. The concept of time loops is played with a lot. A. Lot. It's something we've already seen in relation to Present Jo and Past
This book picks up almost immediately after the events at the end of the last book, Spirit Dances, with our lovely protagonist Joanne Walker on her way to Ireland to take care of that pesky werewolf bite. I had some very big expectations for this book after the way the last book ended, and in most ways those expectations were met, maybe even surpassed. And yet, I can't help deducting one respect point for the missing characters in this instalment. Phone calls are all well and good (very good,

I wanted to like this book more. It has action, character development, and some great interactions with side characters, but it tries too hard to be mystical and the time-travel revelations are often not explained well enough and become confusing. Also, the Master is a vague Big Bad - he's not clearly defined and the show down with him seems anti-climactic.
