Urban Shaman by C.E. Murphy


First sentence:

"There's nothing worse than a red-eye flight."

Description:

"Joanne Walker has three days to learn to use her shamanic powers and save the world from the unleashed Wild Hunt.

No worries. No pressure. Never mind the lack of sleep, the perplexing new talent for healing herself from fatal wounds, or the cryptic, talking coyote who appears in her dreams.

And if all that's not bad enough, in the three years Joanne's been a cop, she's never seen a dead body--but she's just come across her second in three days. It's been a bitch of a week.

And it isn't over yet." -- from the back cover

My thoughts:

I liked this urban fantasy featuring Joanna Walker who has to learn quickly how to harness her shamanic powers while trying to save the city from the Wild Hunt. I look forward to Joanna's next storyline in the anthology, Winter Moon.

This sounds interesting. Was there much swearing?

I don't think so - at least I don't remember much swearing.
