![]() This puts a price on her head, and she has to rely on her wits and the help from a “living vampire” (aka a vampire with a soul) and a pixie assistant in order to stay alive long enough to get IS off her back. A runner for Inderlander Security, or IS, she decides to quit her job, because her boss is out to get her. Now, in the present day, Inderlanders and humans live cheek-and-jowl-not that everyone likes it. Its aftermath revealed that humans have been living alongside “Inderlanders”, Harrison’s inexplicable name for supernatural beings. In an alternative universe, an intense plague wiped out a significant portion of humanity. While Kim Harrison doesn’t quite break the mould with Dead Witch Walking, she gives it a good crack. When authors really break the mould of urban fantasy-either by doing something different in our universe, or creating an entirely different universe that happens to be urban-I get excited. That, and I’m getting mighty tired of every urban fantasy book also having to be a mystery as well. I’m a little prejudiced against it, since so much of it seems to tend towards paranormal romance. I don’t read nearly enough urban fantasy. ![]()
