1. Poltergeist: A Greywalker Novel by Kat Richardson

  So once again I have missed the first book in a series and jumped right into the second.  This was a very gritty, urban magic book.  It reminded me of Shadowlight by Bradley and the Harry Dresden series by Butcher (although our heroine does not have nearly as many accidents as Dresden does in his books).  This is the story of Harper Blaine (love the name!) who is a PI and had a near death experience that has essentially changed the way she looks at the world.  Now she can move in the realm of ghosts and see magic around her otherwise know as traveling through the Grey.  It is a fascinating premise and is very well described (so often the author has a clear view of things that does not translate well to the reader).  So Harper is hired to find out who in a group of people is faking paranormal phenomena.  They are part of a study being done at a college and the professor cannot believe that the results they are getting are real and so, hence, someone must be faking the data.  Of course it is a real poltergeist that plays all sorts of havoc and whatnot on the town before things are resolved.  Harper while trying to solve the crime is still trying to figure out how all this greywalker stuff works.  The stories are more realistic because she does not know everything and did not have this near death experience only to be given knowledge of how it all works.  So she is slowly learning and I think will grow as a character in a much more believeable fashion because of it.  I definitely have to go back and read the first, but I will have to wait for the leaning tower of books to shrink a bit.  I look forward to seeing more about Harper Blaine.
