I have enjoyed this whole series however, I was a little concerned with the previous book River Marked, which is the weakest of the series so far. Well no worries here - my wise-cracking, shape-shifting, fun-filled heroine, Mercy is back! A rollicking urban fantasy with all your favorite characters that keeps you guessing until the end who the real bad guy is. A must read for all Briggs fans.

An excellent addition to a wonderful series! Begin at the beginning of the series, because there are a lot of characters to keep track of, each with their own motivations. Why would someone want a werewolf to kill a senator? The answer is more complicated than it first appears.

The Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs is excellent. She has created a character who is likeable, and sincere. Mercy has grown in each installment. She is kind, brave, loving, and devoted to the "people" she cares about.
I read this book in a couple of sittings, and was sad when I finished reading. It was great fun to have her vampire "friends" as part of the story. Her relationship with Adam is strong, and propelled the story forward to a satisfying end.
I am looking forward to the next book!

I am sorry to write that the book ended.
DANG!!
I sucked up this story in one day, it was sooooooo good I wouldn't put the book down for nothing.
Patricia Briggs just keeps bringing the unpredictable action.
If you haven't read this series, do yourself a favor and start with the first 6 books.
I am so sorry the book ended, I keep thinking about the story and how it could have lasted at least another 500 pages.

"You should have brought the van", said my step-daughter.
I absolutely love this series! I enjoy the interaction between the characters, the diversity of the key players and the strength of the storyline.
The story begins shortly after the end of Fair Game. Mercy and Jesse are out shopping at midnight on Black Friday when they are involved in an accident. Their calls for help go to voicemail for everyone they attempt to contact. They soon learn that the pack has been kidnapped and Ben is the lone escapee. The pack bond helps Mercy contact Adam but leaves her helpless in locating him.
I appreciate that the story returns home to the pack and Mercy's ragtag group of friends. I love that Stefan is instrumental in the plot. Tad has matured and becomes an ally for Mercy.
Mercy is a great character. She is strong, smart and snarky. What more can you ask for? The Sandoval family adds the needed human element. The girls are adorable.
This is a series that I read and reread. I know that I will be very sad when it all comes to an end.
An excellent read and always recommended.
