I originally found out about this series by fishing out the 9th book out of a grocery store bargain bin. And I’m not gonna lie, but I picked up the book because of the cover. (She’s hot okay
I thought this book was a really good time! I really enjoyed the urban fantasy worldbuilding, and I think Briggs makes some interesting choice with her fantasy elements here. I think Mercy is super strong as a main character, I just wish she had more female friends that she didn't disdain in some way. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series!

Read in pretty much one sitting. A fun urban fantasy. The cover art is misleading in regards to quality and type of content.
Omg I’ve been sucked in again. Briggs’s writing is so good and I really love this cast of characters. Samuel really intrigued me from another series so I was glad to get more about him.
I just really loved how fresh and fun this felt.

I've picked up many books this year that haven't worked. So, just finding an enjoyable, average read feels like an accomplishment.
This first Mercy Thompson book held my interest enough to make me want to try a few more. With time, it might become better at developing a coherent plot.
I've always heard this series referred to as the female Dresden Files. On reflection, it's a fair assessment. They are similar in two major ways: they are both typical urban fantasy stories, using known fictional creatures like werewolves and vampires; and they both feature a protagonist with an internal monologue that can't help but address the attractiveness of the opposite sex in every scene.
Alternatively, Moon Called gives the distinct vibe of a romance, where I'd never thought of the Dresden Files that way, even though you could argue that Mercy's relationship isn't the central plot of this book. So, is it actually a romance? The layers of misogyny run deep here.
