I'm very selfish with 5 stars, so if you like werewolves and magic, this is a great book. The fifth in a series about Mercy Thompson but there are spin off stories, you don't have to read the other 4 to appreciate what happens, which unfortunately ends at page 342. This is one tale that you don't want to end, why couldn't it go one for at least another 1700 pages?? Patricia Briggs keeps her characters and story line fresh and interesting - you'll have to buy this book unless you borrow it from the library, because it is a keeper, I'll never swap it.
Note to other fans, one plot problem crops up at the end page 336, when Briggs alleges that Mercy can't be found even by Samuel's woman because the Alpha is so disturbed by her disappearance, and the fire destroyed all of Mercy's personal belongings. Come ON. Mercy's tools, her cat, Samuel... there were so many other things and people who Mercy is attached too, that I think it would have been better if Patricia just wrote that the black witch blocked the tracing spell.
