Publisher's summary

You can never go home again

Joanne Walker has survived an encounter with the Master at great personal cost, but now her father is missing - stolen from the timeline. She must finally return to North Carolina to find him - and to meet Aidan, the son she left behind long ago.

That would be enough for any shaman to face, but Joanne's beloved Appalachians are being torn apart by an evil reaching forward from the distant past. Anything that gets in its way becomes tainted - or worse.

And Aidan has gotten in the way.

Only by calling on every aspect of her shamanic powers can Joanne pull the past apart and weave a better future. It will take everything she has - and more.

Unless she can turn back time…

Why all the whining?

Murphy is an automatic download. I wait anxiously for an entire year for each new book. I have really liked this series so far. Okay I have only listened to the first part of this book (3 hours in). I am definitely going to make myself listen to the rest of this book. At this point, what is getting on my nerves is the fact that EVERYTHING is her fault. This is all boiling down to her whining. Why??? Yes, I have listened to every book but come on...at this point she doesn't seem to be a very strong heroine she is just a whiny, woe is me type of heroine. I am antsy because I want to yell, buck up!!!!! I expected better of you! I am hoping it gets better :( I am not sure if Audible will allow me to revise this if it gets better, but I will try.

Finally MORRISON!

Wow this series just gets better and better.I just loved it.
Continuing directly from the 7th book, Joanne directly goes from her fight in Ireland straight to North Carolina. This time following her father's heritage and her own past. It has time traveling, zombies, flying cars, and ancestor sprits... If you don't know the series, people are just going to scratch their head with that description. And for the first time I am going to put this into my "romance shelf"!

Although the series is published by Harlequin (well Luna), the stories are never quite romantic or cannot be categorized as romance. But in this 8th book it finally has romance worth mentioning. Well it's not as if there were no men in Joanne's life. I admit there were Thor and of course Cayote. Well, this time it's with the very very long awaited MORRISON!! So of course it's different and special. In any case I missed him very much in the previous book so I was very happy he was with Joanne all through the book. On the other hand no Garry, he is left in Ireland. I guess though the next book will be with him. I just bought No Dominion so that will probably tie it up to the end of this book I'm hoping.

Another satisfying read and again it's going to be agony waiting for the next book!!

And of course another great narration by Gabra Zackman! She does "Walker-ism" soooo well.

Wow! Author + Narrator = OMGodsmacked!

I've enjoyed this series. In some books it felt sometimes like a recipe. In the last two books, recipe or no, these have been, by far, the most intense and exhilarating. Souls cascading and triumphing over evil. Every step not projecting the next, leaving me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next... By the end of Mountain Echoes, I was ready to eat everything on the menu! I was *that* invested in the end result. Oh! And the end cliff hanger.. What?!?!? EXCELLENT!

Huh??

I'm writing this book after having listened twice. It's very metaphysical and listening to it requires a different level of thinking. The overarching plot moved along, but not very satisfyingly.

Hmmm. Maybe I should read it again.

Grab on and hang on tight for this ride! Woohoo!!

Serious love for the Walker series - the stories and adventures. The main character and the all the side character's. Who doesn't adore Gary and Morrison? This story does after all have more Morrison in it - fan girl SQUEE here! About time. It was exciting and sweet at times. It was also really awesome to have Joanne growing along with her story and resolving some issues and having other Ah-hah moments too. Though a huge fan of the series, I thought this one was a stand out and am sad to think the next book is the last in the series. *sob* The narration was as excellent as always.

Say Audible - we do need to have Gary's story, No Dominion, also added to our audiobook collection. Though we need another narrator for his story, Someone with some age to his voice, but can also impart vitality and joy for life.

If you haven't read the series yet - you are so missing out - start the adventure with Urban Shaman and rock it. So worth it.

Yay C.E. Murphy!

As always, C.E. Murphy does not disappoint. By now, the main characters are very familiar. The story, however is fresh and new. New viewpoints, new changes and best of all, new idea.

loving these books

this one especially. I grew up in Graham county NC, home of the Snowbird Cherokee. Neighbor of the Qualla Boundary rez. I could really see this happening in my mind. Gabra Z is so good, I forget only one person is telling the stories.

Good book, but I miss Gary

Back to her family's roots. Fighting demons in the hollows ("hollers"). Surprise visits by unexpected participants. But no Gary. Except for the last sentence of the book. I hope the next book answers the question of what happened to Gary.
