      After she dealt with the mystery of her own family, helped placing the new Guardian Beast, realized she mustn't play with death anymore, Harper gets a new case. A boat that was missing for twenty-seven years suddenly comes back without its passengers but with a lot of bloody clues on board.

      This time, though, she has to work closely with Ray Solis and the Danzingers are in England. Fortunately, I wasn't mistaken in liking Ray Solis. Harper will even meet his family. That experience will show a whole new side of him.
      Magic plays a huge role in this story and Harper will have to deal with without any help from people who know something about it.

      Parts of Seawitch take place on water and there is a lot of stuff about boats which isn't something I find very interesting, but it's not something that ruins the story.
      As for Quinton, he doesn't let Harper out of his sight as soon as it becomes clear that she needs all the help she can get. A member of his family makes an appearance. It isn't pleasant, but it might be a piece of a future story. It would be great.

      In Seawitch Harper Blaine gets new friends, realizes that she doesn't need the power she almost got before, finally sees whether the Guardian Beast has anything human left in it, accepts her role as a true friend and, in Quinton's case, a lover too.

      I really like her storytelling but sometimes it's difficult to follow her train of thought. She is very descriptive and detailed when describing scenes and characters and I like that. Some of her dialog seems a little strange to me and when she is describing the gray sometimes I cannot understand what she is trying to impart or describe. I liked this book and her others but I think sometimes her editor needs to polish it up a bit to make it more understandable.

      I have been a fan of Kat Richardson since the release of the first Greywalker book. I have just two more in the series to read (Possession & Revenant). Seawitch was a bit different than the other six I'd read. While I am used to ghosts and vampires, this installment was ... odd.When a ship reappears after 27 years, without a crew or passengers, the insurance company Harper works for hires her to investigate. Detective Solis volunteers to look into possible crimes committed.Was a possible sexual assualt at the center of it all? Either way, two very unique forces are set for war. Harper, Solis and Quinton have their work cut out for them. Merfolk and dobhar-chi (otters) are set against ewch other. Missing boats, trapped souls and a bell that links everything together!I enjoyed getting to "see" Det. Solis as more of a person, with a somewhat splintered past. He shows that he is trying to accept the unexplainable. It was refreshing!And Harper ... just love her. Tough, but vulnerable. After having died for 2 seconds her time spent between realms is colorful, dangerous and compelling!Phillip TomassoAuthor of Damn the Dead and Vaccination

      The seventh book in the series starts with Harper working on an insurance case with the police and her favorite thorn in her side from the department is working on the same case as well. The the Guardian from the Grey wants her to work on the case but not in so many words. Turns out the ship has been missing in the Grey for 27 years with everyone onboard presumed dead. Of course there is more to the case than expected and I think the book can work almost as a stand alone since you don't need any real back story to enjoy this book.

      Another great Harper Blaine story! Can't wait for the next book in the series. Thank you Kat Richardson!
    • 4/5
      My new favorite book of the series so far. I really enjoyed Solis and Blaine as a team in this particular novel. Beyond that, I feel like this is the first book where all of the characters were consistently settled into their own skins. I hope we see more of Solis in the future, as I find his character particularly likable.
    • 3/5
      This series is not for me. I thought I'd give it another try because it is so popular, I thought maybe I gave up too soon. I don't care for the main character. The writing is wordy and hard to follow.

      I initially loved the Greywalker series by Kat Richardson. The concept seemed really unique to me, and the characters were very interesting. I’ve slowly been losing my enthusiasm as the series has progressed, however. This book didn’t help things any.Harper Blaine is a woman who can see into the Grey, the ghost world that exists alongside our world. She has been periodically called upon to restore balance when things have been upset, usually by a supernatural baddy. In this installment, Blaine is investigating the sudden reappearance of the ship Seawitch, which had disappeared 27 years prior. She is teamed up with Sergeant Ray Solis, who has worked with her in the past and knows there is something not quite right about the insurance investigator Blaine. I’ve started finding Blaine a very unlikable character. In fact, I looked forward to the scenes with her boyfriend, Quinton, more than I did the scenes without him. I also found way to much detail about ships in this one. A fisherman would probably love it, but I found it tedious. There was a good bit of action (though how Blaine can continue to be hurt as much as she is in every book and recover is beyond me) and a complicated plot, but I found myself pushing to get through it so I could get to the next book on my list. It had its moments, but is definitely not on the top of my must read list.

      I'm so happy to have Harper Blaine back! Similar in some ways, Seawitch was a different story too. This trip with Harper Blaine and her ghosts kept me turning pages. The characters' interactions were funny, intriguing, or sometimes curious , and I enjoyed getting to know them better, especially Solis. It was interesting to see how Harper's abilities (and her understanding of them) have changed. I sensed a change in her relationship with Quinton too, but I hope that doesn't change too much! His secretive exit before their boat ride made me nervous. I guess I'm a little attached to him...I'm glad to see Solis back too. Their interaction is always fun, but the reveal changed things. I was surprised Harper told him her secret so quickly, though it turned out well - it meant he would be a full participant in the madness that followed. And he was due to find out. It was amusing to watch him struggle with something so outside his experience. I'm not sure he didn't question his sanity - or Harper's - by the end of the story. I did like this line that came early in the story, when Harper was debating telling Solis: "I… sometimes have little disagreements with… um, with reality. And physics."Love it! Looking forward to the next one!

      This is the seventh book in the Greywalker series. It was a solid addition to the series but was pretty contained; there was no new big story-arc started.I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobook was very well done. The narrator does an excellent job and sounds exactly like I imagine Harper would. She also does an excellent job distinguishing between voices.Harper and detective Solis have both been assigned with the investigation of a mysterious ghostly ship that has appeared in the harbor named the Seawitch. Of course the appearance of the Seawitch is linked with a number of disturbing paranormal things. It is up to Solis and Harper to unravel the mystery behind its reappearance before it is too late.The story is written in a very detailed and analytical way, like all of the books in this series. These book are very heavy on the investigative aspect of the story. In this installment we are introduced to some new paranormal creatures; mainly mermaids and the Father of all Otters.There isn’t a ton of character growth in this book. Harper spends some time trying to learn how to be a better friend to those around her, but she doesn’t really grow in power or learn to use her power as a Greywalker in new ways. More of the story is spent on Solis and him trying to deal with all of the paranormal things he runs in to. Solis is forced to face some uncomfortable truths and he does grow quite a bit. We learn a lot about Solis and his background. This wasn't really the start of a new broad story arc, the investigation and the Seawitch mystery are fairly self-contained to this one book. There are some things going on with Quentin and his father that sound interesting and are set up to be dealt with in the next book. This set up leads to us learning more about Quentin’s background.The plot was well woven and well put together. There are a lot of interesting mystery/paranormal elements that come together in fascinating ways.Each of the books in this series has focused on something. In this case the book focused on the Father of Otters mythology and boating in general. The story was nicely tied up and there were some things left unresolved that will most likely be tied up in the next book.Overall a solid addition to this series. The whole book is pretty self-contained and could probably be read just fine as a stand alone novel. It was fun to meet some new paranormal races and we get to learn a lot about Solis and his background. The book sets things up for an interesting storyline involving Quentin and his past in future installments of the series. This whole series is recommended to those who like detailed and analytical investigative urban fantasy.

      Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy.allthingsuf.com“…this is not a job you quit – it’s one you die from.” – Harper Blaine, SEAWITCHThough previous installments in the Greywalker series have been a little slow for my tastes, from that chilling line of the prologue onward, SEAWITCH had me hooked. The mystery presents itself on page one, in the figure of a ghost ship returned, empty and bloodspattered, after a twenty-seven year absence. The superstition of maritime magic fascinated me immediately, and the active presence of both Quinton and Sergeant Rey Solis offered plenty of character interaction to balance Harper’s meticulous narrative.Though SEAWITCH is definitely my favorite Greywalker book thus far, the auspicious beginning didn’t carry all the way through the book. I got impatient when Harper repeated something I saw through her eyes for another character’s benefit, and often found myself flipping back a few pages to try and understand some bit of magic or narrative better. As always with witness testimony, sometimes the pieces don’t add up through malicious intent… and sometimes people are just forgetful. Richardson’s writing had me trying to figure things out alongside Harper, but there are times when I have much less patience than our dogged heroine.Despite an explosive first half, things slowed down to a crawl when the characters began to brainstorm possible answers to this particular mystery. My attention wandered with each “What if” scenario, anxious to get to action and confirmation of who (or what) had brought about the Seawitch’s end. I’m glad I came back to the Greywalker series, but I find myself repeating the 3 bat rating of DOWNPOUR. SEAWITCH starts and finishes strong, but the ebb and flow of my attention won’t have me hurry to pre-order book 8… but I will probably curl up with it when I next crave a mystery.Sexual Content: References to sex and rape.
