Reviews"The preternatural culture of vampire seethes and wolf pack politics is deeply intriguing. Briggs provides plenty of detail about Mercy's complex world."-- Publishers Weekly "Mercy is not just another cookie-cutter tough-chick urban fantasy heroine; she's got a lot of style and substance and an intriguing back-story. Series fans will appreciate the resolution of some ongoing plot lines, and the romantic tension is strong."-- Library Journal More Praise for the Mercy Thompson Novels "I love these books."--Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author "An excellent read with plenty of twists and turns...It left me wanting more."--Kim Harrison, #1 New York Times bestselling author "The best new urban fantasy series I've read in years."--Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times bestselling author "In the increasingly crowded field of kick-ass supernatural heroines, Mercy stands out as one of the best."-- Locus "Action-packed and with more than a few satisfying emotional payoffs...Patricia Briggs at the top of her game."--The Speculative Herald "The characters are all realistic and vibrant."-- The Independent "These are fantastic adventures, and Mercy reigns."--SFRevu "The world building is incredibly lush and subsuming...a fantastic urban fantasy adventure."--Fresh Fiction "Outstanding."--Charles de Lint, Fantasy & Science Fiction

SynopsisWelcome to Patricia Briggs's world, a place where "witches, vampires, werewolves, and shape-shifters live beside ordinary people" ( Booklist ) . It takes a very unusual woman to call it home--and there's no one quite like Mercy Thompson. By day, Mercy Thompson is a car mechanic in the sprawling Tri-Cities of Eastern Washington. By night, she explores her preternatural side. As a shape-shifter with some unusual talents, Mercy's found herself maintaining a tenuous harmony between the human and the not-so-human on more than one occasion. This time she may get more than she bargained for. Marsilia, the local vampire queen, has learned that Mercy crossed her by slaying a member of her clan--and she's out for blood. But since Mercy is protected from direct reprisal by the werewolf pack (and her close relationship with its sexy Alpha), it won't be Mercy's blood Marsilia is after. It'll be her friends'.
LOVE this series! Characters are interesting enough that you want to keep reading even when there isn't any action. The story is great, and if you get the audiobook version, the narrator does a fantastic job! One of those books you don't want to put down! Definitely recommend!
