If you are familiar with Mercy Thompson, this book will delight you with her quirky ways and her usual ability to get herself into trouble. If this is the first time you are meeting Mercy, please put this down and read "Moon Called" first. While you don't necessarily have to read the series in order, you will miss details if you don't start at the beginning.

"Iron Kissed" was really beginning to look like all the other books in the series with Mercy being either asked or forced into helping with a supernatural mystery and ending up getting herself into trouble before fighting her way out. This series never disappoints but is usually one of the lighter of the supernatural mysteries. Right around page 230, things take a dramatic and violent turn. Although some of the story isn't for the faint of heart, it is really worth pushing past all of that to get to a beautiful and intense scene between Ben and Adam. I know I have written about crying during books before, but this scene took me by such surprise that I just couldn't help myself. If this book ever is made into a film, that scene will be worthy of a nomination.

Overall, a great read. I couldnt put the last quarter of it down and continued to read way past the time I should have been making dinner.
