History Literature / Greywalker

* {{Masquerade}}: JustifiedTrope, as most people literally [[InvisibleToNormals cannot see ghosts or the oddities of vampires and the like]]. Even witches like [[HotWitch Mara]] find their perception to be extremely poor in comparison to Harper's. However, people confronted with undeniable evidence of supernatural activity take an incredibly skeptical view, including a researcher who was deliberately trying to induce psychokinetic instances and called in Harper to investigate when [[GoneHorriblyRight his results became too good]], on the basis that the idea that [[WhatAnIdiot his experiment was actually doing what he told the participants it was doing]] was clearly impossible.

* CuteAndPsycho: Alice Liddel. [[AliceInWonderland The name may have been a clue.]]

* [[spoiler: InTheBlood: Bloodline seems to play a role in becoming a Greywalker, since Harper's father may have been one.]]

* TheUnreveal: The vampiric nature of one of Harper's clients acts as this to Quinton.

* ShownTheirWork: The author is often fairly careful about the degree of research they do (the second book ended with what was effectively a ''reference list''), even though they are pretty open about changing it for narrative purposes. This may be a reaction to early criticisms from fans.

* CompleteMonster: Vampires generally, particularly the older ones, but Wygan certainly qualifies. [[spoiler: It's even implied that he [[EvilPlan set up Harper to die]] the way she did in order to become a Greywalker.]]

Richardson has noted that the 9th book will be the last, at least for the time being.

Written by Kat Richardson, the Greywalker series follows Harper Blaine, a hard-boiled private investigator who dies for a couple minutes before being brought back, but came back... different. More specifically, she has become a Greywalker, a person who can navigate the Grey, the boundary between the worlds of the normal and paranormal. Quickly drawn into the supernatural goings-on of Seattle including a newbie vampire, a witch and her ghost boarder, she has to learn to accept her new life.

BackFromTheDead: How Harper becomes the titular Greywalker. However, while this is necessary, it is not sufficient on its own, as many people die and are brought back through medical intervention without becoming Greywalkers.
OccultDetective: Harper was a PI before dying, but after she definitely fulfils this role, assisted by [[HotWitch Mara Danzinger]] and [[GadgeteerGenius tech genius Quinton]].
TeamPet: Technically Harper's, but Chaos, her pet ferret, offers comfort and even occasionally is practically useful in the field.
