I probably enjoyed this one more the first time around. This time I found it a bit too slow. Mostly because I missed the usual cast of characters and I always think this series is stronger when Mercy is with her people. Poor Mercy does take a literal beating in this one, several of them in fact, and I had to wonder why Stefan didn't give her a bit of his blood to help speed up the healing process. It's not like he wouldn't! Still, it was a decent enough story that dragged just a little too much for my liking.

Wow there were some big revelations in this one. We understand her father, who and what he was. We meet Coyote and his siblings. It was genuinely so very good!

Normally I like this series, but this installment was a chore. No real mystery, just here's your monster and here's the good guys killing it.

Good story. I liked seeing Adam and Mercy away from the pack and their friends. But this story confused me quite often.

Love the beginning of the series, but it begins to contradict its own rules as it goes further along. Love to see Mercy and Adam in love - they’re usually too busy and kept apart by plot. Nice to see more of Mercy’s background explained.

After five books about the werewolves, the vampires, and the fae, we get a book focused on the main character, where her magic comes from, and meet others like her. There is a scene towards the beginning that was pretty delightful, but the possessiveness in Adam & Mercy’s relationship is off-putting to me, even though “because werewolves!”

Very good. There were some parts that were a little slow, but the storyline was good. I highly recommend this series for fans of urban fantasy.
