I really enjoyed this book. My passion for this sub-genre has been waning because there has been SO much of it out there, but Mercy is one of the originals, and a really good heroine, working-class, compassionate and never perfect. I think I actually enjoyed this installment in the series better than the last, the characters were really fleshed out, the mystery was well-plotted. Nothing HUGE happens, but being comfortable with the world and the other characters is nothing to sniff at. Enjoyable, and all in all still one of my favorite Urban Fantasy series!

This time my werewolf book is a fae book again. 
Fun but not quite as engaging as I had hoped. Every Patricia Briggs book that I have read so far has at least one thing that dirt and delights me. 
This one did that too. 
Looking forward to the next. 
Her fae lore is solid enough that I would be comfortable adding this one and the last fairy book to my elfpunk (favorite genre) shelf. 


Good, but definitely my least favorite book of the series so far

Loved this book! I always like the amount of suspenseful storylines Briggs puts in her books. This one is no exception!

Let me begin by saying. I love this series. It might be due to one of these many reasons:
Mercy kicks butt and she is so messed up that she can't function socially-love that about her.
She knows her limitations and isn't all powerful.
The author dealt with certain unsavory issues beautifully.
The romance took 5 books to develop into something that can be called a relationship.
Its just so refreshing to meet an Alpha who doesn't thrust his will on his partner and is willing to put up with her going against his will.
Adam is also Mercy's match when it comes to being messed up and they are cute together.
I love how the author doesn't overlook details that many readers would nit pick at- when Mercy and Samuel(as a wolf) go to the see Adam at the hospital, the author even points out that Samuel had rolled in the mud to cover the blood on him. It didn't even register what she had done till I read this.
This book specifically cleared up things about Samuel and it was a relief.
And of course, most importantly, I love the humor-there's nothing more fun than a smart mouthed heroine!
I'm going to put off reading the next one for as long as I can since I don't want to be done with the series so soon!
