Book Reviews of Thunderbird Falls (The Walker Papers, Book 2)
Book Review: C.E. Murphy delivers another winner!
Summary: 5 Stars
C.E. Murphy has a gift of drawing the reader into her world and making the unbelievable seem believable. THUNDERBIRD FALLS is no exception as she once again weaves her magic.
Joanne Walker is a reluctant shaman. She didn't believe in the supernatural until events left her with no other choice (see URBAN SHAMAN). Now, as a beat cop, she discovers the dead body of Cassandra Tucker. Cassandra was part of a coven that hoped to bring Virissong back from the Lower World. The coven believes that Virissong's return will rebalance the world and stop the heat wave that is decimating the city's resources.
Joanne joins the coven but is distracted by the hospitalization of her cabbie friend, Gary, who has a heart attack. Her distraction prevents her from seeing that something is terribly wrong as she accidentally assists with releasing demonic spirits on Seattle. Will Joanne be able to stop the demons in time to save Seattle? And why has her spirit guide, Coyote, abandoned her?
Joanne Walker is the kind of person you can envision yourself hanging out with on a Saturday afternoon. She is down-to-earth and not afraid to question herself. She is a bit naive in regards to her shamanistic powers, but that is to be expected from someone who was a skeptic until recently. Her sense of humor keeps her from appearing arrogant and is what makes her character so realistic. It is also the strength of her character that makes this series so entertaining.
This story can be read as a stand alone novel. However, this reviewer highly recommends that readers first read URBAN SHAMAN or the novella in WINTER MOON to better understand Joanne's character and her relationship with Coyote. Readers new to the series may be a bit confused by the whole spirit world and Joanne's aptly named Dead Zone.
Overall, THUNDERBIRD FALLS is a powerful addition to the series and well worth reading. This reviewer looks forward to finding out where Coyote has gone and to seeing how C.E. Murphy further develops Joanne's interpersonal relationships with both Captain Morrision and Gary.

Summary of Thunderbird Falls (The Walker Papers, Book 2)
It's the end of the world . . . Again.For all the bodies she's encountering, you'd think beat cop Joanne Walker works in Homicide. But no, Joanne's a reluctant shaman who last saved mankind three months ago -- surely she deserves more of a break! Yet, incredibly, "Armageddon, take two" is mere days away.
There's not a minute to waste.
Yet when her spirit guide inexplicably disappears, Joanne needs help from other sources. Especially after she accidentally unleashes Lower World demons on Seattle. Damn. With the mother of all showdowns gathering force, it's the worst possible moment for Joanne to realize she should have learned more about controlling her powers.
