Greywalker

...by Kat Richardson

The first half was tolerably good, but the ending was atrocious. The writing, plot, characters and setting weren't bad, some of it was quite good, but the ending of the book just...wasn't in alignment with my view of the universe. It was too dark, too hopeless, too out of balance, and simply didn't have that sense of completion and fulfillment that I look for in the ending of a book. The ending felt more like an angsty middle than a conclusion. 

However, the beginning was good enough to actually make me read the book, which is quite a feat, since I usually don't like mysteries OR paranormal fiction, much less both together.
