Mercy and Adam get some much needed relaxation on their honeymoon. Just kidding! Of course they take a seemingly innocuous escape from the stresses of the pack, the fae and the vampires. Only to be thrown into the path of some big Native American oogie boogie.

My favorite bit about this book was the fact that there was a lot of discovery about Mercy's Indian heritage. For the fact that she these unique abilities, up until now, Mercy hadn't known anything about her father and whether or not there were other Walkers.

There are only some quick guest appearances from the supporting cast. (Jesse, Stefan, the pack, Zee, ect) So we finally get some much needed development of Adam and Mercy's relationship. Up until it'd been: Disaster, Other Disaster, Fae are a pain in the butt, Adam and Mercy give each other googly eyes, disaster.

One thing I'd really appreciate if Patricia Briggs did, though, is give us a list of sources or something about all the Native American legends she used. There were a lot of offhand remarks about stories I wasn't familiar with. But other than that? I'm still hooked and still LOVING Mercy. Now...when is the next Alpha and Omega book out?
