"Satisfying conclusion to the series"

The battle has come to Seattle and Joanne Walker is the only
one standing in the way of the Master destroying everyone
she loves....
Joanne has learned a lot about her shamanic abilities over
the past year as she has continued to battle the Master.
Unfortunately, the Master has a plan in store that could
destroy the city Joanne loves as well as everyone she cares
about. Will the conclusion of the Walker Papers end
in triumph or tragedy?
SHAMAN RISES is the concluding book in the Walker
Papers series. I have not read the entire series but I
have read several of the earlier books. I would suggest
reading at least the first couple of books in order to get a
sense of who the characters are and their relationships with
Joanne prior to reading SHAMAN RISES. C.E. Murphy helpfully
provides readers with a general overview of the prior books
in order to remind readers of all of the challenges Joanne
has faced over the course of the series.
SHAMAN RISES is very mystical, as are the earlier books in
the series. Joanne fights many of her battles in other
worlds or planes of existence. C.E. Murphy does a marvelous
job at making these scenes both believable and full of
tension to keep the reader engaged. We see a lot of Celtic
and Native American mythology woven into the storyline and
C.E. Murphy does an excellent job at keeping the reader
acquainted with how each piece ties together.
SHAMAN RISES is a satisfying conclusion to the Walker
Papers series. I laughed, I cried, and I mourned right
along with the characters. I can only hope that the
conclusion of this series indicates we will see a spinoff
series featuring some of the other characters. SHAMAN RISES
is easily recommended for urban fantasy readers.
SUMMARY
