About this ebook
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

Reviews for Mountain Echoes
92 ratings7 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I enjoyed this book much more than the previous one taking place in Ireland. This had a true feel of homecoming to it, because this was the place Jo ran from, and these are the people. I loved, loved, loved her connecting with her father, her son, her son's mother, and her old friends, and I loved her doing it alongside Morrison. She's coming together now, faster than ever, into the person--shaman--she's meant to be.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not the best amongst the Walker Papers but entertaining
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mountain Echoes follows Jo as she returns "home" to North Carolina on the heels of her adventures in Ireland. She reconnects with her father, high school friends (acquaintances? enemies?), and her son. As in each of the novels as we move forward, Jo is more in control of her power and herself than the last time we met. The battle against the "Master" continues, here, with a new type of attack. We have a lot more time travel and things start to make sense as the time lines come together. I wasn't a fan of No Dominion, but reading it before Mountain Echoes will make a big difference as you move through the last two books in this series. Overall, I thought this novel was stronger than the previous two in the series. There is a lot more action in this novel than in the early books and a lot more involvement with those not in the know when it comes to magic, etc.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Rushing back from Ireland Joanne is forced to confront her past on the cherokee reservation. The "master" is trying to use her family and friends against her. A good solid fun read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Joanne Walker returns to her home town for the first time in ten years because her estranged father has vanished. But this is not a simple missing persons case. Something nasty is growing in the heart of the Cherokee homeland. And Joanne's son--given up for adoption at birth--is at the center of it.Joanne just can't catch a break, can she? On a level with the rest of the series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love this series. I love Joanne as a character. The full story arc will wrap up in the ninth and final book, so this penultimate volume is packed with twists, revelations, and taut suspense. I hesitate to state too many details because there are simply so many spoilers at this point, but I will say that Murphy does a fantastic job of bringing in Cherokee mythology, history, and sacrifice. If you enjoy urban fantasies, definitely seek out the Walker Papers series.

Just when I think I can't love an author's writing more... even if her cliffhanger endings sometimes make me shout choice words aloud. Timey-wimey-wibbley-wobbly indeed! I'm looking forward to the next book, even as I cringe because it's the last book in the series. Love this world, love the characters, and the threads weave together wonderfully. That's no easy feat, in such a long series, but it never feels forced. Very fast paced, and impossible to put down once I started it.
