Commentary In Pursuance Of 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.

I love this series so much. To me, this is what an urban fantasy should be, mixing fantasy with modern times, maybe some romance but mostly focused on the action. I did miss Morrison in this book, though he was mentioned a lot, just not enough.Review originally posted on my blog: A Book Obsession..After quitting her job and professing her feelings to Morrison, Joanne is in a race against time (literally) as she travels to Ireland to fight the werewolf infection brewing inside of her. However, once she arrives, she finds that infection to be nothing in comparison to the rest of the issues she must face. The magic she will be facing is older than she can imagine and is tied directly into The Master that has had a hand in all the turmoil
Amazing read. Too bad it had a cliff-hanger ending.
"WHAT...?"Okay I'm not going to say exactly what came out of my mouth when I finished this book, but some might get the point.Honestly I have to say I did enjoy this book and really, it was good. I'm just being stubborn and grumpy because I think with the way things have ended it is going to be a long while before we get some Morrison. I'm not talking about a stupid phone call either! Joanne going off to Ireland made sense and caught my interest. Gary meeting up with her there was great. But the
slight disclaimer: I managed to win a copy from a giveaway. The only bias this gives me is the sheer pleasure of reading an autographed copy before the release date. (Think ferret style happy war dance at the mailbox) That alone is a rush of lush proportions. It also means if the book hadn't lived up to the rush I'd be snarling and gnashing my teeth in despair rather than gushing all over the place.I wish there were more stars to award a book. A symbol or number of them that would convey - Just
Raven Calls is the seventh book in the Walker Papers series written by C.E. Murphy and centred on Joanne Walker (born Siobhán Walkingstick) is a half-Cherokee/half-Irish, was a Seattle Police Officer and mechanic who so happen to be a shaman.Joanne Walker has just quit her job as a police officer and haven been bitten from a werewolf (Spirit Dances). After receiving a vision, she believes that she could find a cure back in Ireland. Therefore, she boards a plane in hopes her visions were correct.
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.
