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.The Greywalker series spans 9 books: Greywalker Poltergeist Underground Vanished Labyrinth Downpour Seawitch Possession RevenantRichardson has noted that the 9th book will be the last in the series, at least for the time being.

Masquerade
 Greywalker / int_6ef09297
comment
Masquerade: Justified Trope, as most people literally cannot see ghosts or the oddities of vampires and the like. Even witches like 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 his results became too good, on the basis that the idea that his experiment was actually doing what he told the participants it was doing was clearly impossible.

Back from the Dead

comment
Back from the Dead: 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.

Little Useless Gun: Technically neither little nor useless, Harper carries around a handgun habitually - particularly after dying - even though against the overwhelming majority of entities she has actually shot with it treat it as an annoyance at best.

Shown Their Work: The author is often fairly careful about the degree of research they do (the second and subsequent books end with what is 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.
