Underground by Kat RichardsonJune is the official start of summer, so I'm kicking off the season with a new book a week that you should be sticking in a beach bag to take on vacation, or just relaxing with in the backyard along with a glass of sweet tea.This week's is a paranormal offering. Be sure to check back every Monday for a new featured book! National bestselling author Kat Richardson returns to her character, Harper Blaine, in "Underground." Harper found her life forever changed by an accident that leaves her dead - momentarily. Now she is a Greywalker, someone caught between the world of the living and the otherworldly veil in-between - populated with all things paranormal. Harper not only sees dead people, she sees vampires and zombies. Harper's trying to work things out with her boyfriend and her PI business and finding herself failing. When a friend, Quinton, shows up with a mysterious case, Harper finds herself drawn into the paranormal world to help. Homeless people are ending up dead - chewed up - and strange zombies have been seen wandering the streets. As Harper's investigation leads her to the vampires, they want nothing to do with her or her case because it isn't their responsibility. If it's not a vampire or a necromancer, then who or what is stalking the homeless? It's up to Harper and Quinton to solve this case - or die trying. I enjoyed the fresh take and use of Native American mythology to bring a whole new set of paranormal creatures to deal with and not the usual suspects. "Underground" is published by Roc. It is $21.95 and 252 pages long.
