Narration Concering Books Spirit Dances (Walker Papers #6)
For Seattle detective Joanne Walker, spring is about new beginnings. She's mastered her shamanic abilities (mostly), survived a cannibalistic serial killer (barely) and now she's facing the biggest challenge of her career--attending a dance concert with her sexy boss, Captain Michael Morrison. But when the performance--billed as transformative--actually changes her into a coyote, she and Morrison have bigger things to deal with.And there's more. Homeless people are disappearing, a mystical murder puts Joanne way out of her jurisdiction and with the full moon coming on, it's looking like the killer is a creature that can't possibly exist.
But Jo could probably handle all of that, if one ordinary homicide hadn't pushed her to the very edge....

I think Im going to take a little break from this series.. I am primarily a romance reader. I mean urban fantasy, oPNR, historical.. anything but It all has romance. This series doesnt have enough romance for me. And honestly with all the mystical crap that happens.. I have no idea whats really happening. Seriously I have no clue. But it really comes down to the lack of romance. So eh.. Ill eventually pick the next one up. Mainly because its part of the romance package with audible and its free
Coming Into Her OwnIt's been fifteen months since cop mechanic and cynic Joanne Walker became warrior shaman and Seattle detective. In those fifteen months, she's been stabbed, hung, strung out, strung up, wiped out and beat down. She's done battle with creatures that aren't supposed to exist outside of grim horror stories or fantasy books. She's had crises of faith, been riddled with self doubt and guilt, and gotten several close friends almost killed just by associating with her. But she ain't
That was exciting. Spirit Dances is probably the most cohesive, well-plotted story since the first of the series. It takes all of Murphys promises and hints and brings them to the fore in the great mash-up of change and progress I hoped was on its way. Although Ive been frustrated at times by Joannes brute force way of dealing with magic, this installment strongly reinforces the idea of a build-up to transition. Its now very clear that Joanne had to undergo all her flailing and wailing to
There are so many things that I love about this series, seeing Joanne grow through out it, her friendship with Billy and Melinda, and her tumultuous relationship with Morrison. This book was great as they were all at the center of it, all it was missing was Gary, who is the best sidekick for Joanne.Joanne has been through a lot and grown to accept being a Shaman. While she doesn't always know what she is doing, she does so with her heart in the right place. This time around it is no different.
This is a Quickie Review. For the full review, please visit The Romanceaholic.I come to this series as a virgin reader (heh). Ive never read anything by C.E. Murphy, and as such, I am reviewing this story based on how well it works as a standalone work.Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this read. I definitely want to go back and read the rest of the series despite knowing how a lot of the situations will end up through references made in this story. I enjoyed the first person POV, and even when
4,5 starsSo far, my favourite book in the series!From reticent shaman to someone who finally feels confortable in her skin, Joanne's character has really undergo some monumental changes.She continues to be her same "funny" self. She has one of the craziest senses of humour i've met in a book, and then she's surrounded by a vast number of interesting and complex characters, like her colleague Billy, who up until a few books ago, used to appear in the police precint in high heels and dresses.
