I used this a brain break in the middle of all this govermental turmoil and distress and school and life thingies happening all at once and it did it's job very well because the hyperfocus on the details and the relationships and the conversations was enhanced times 1000x. only listened to it while driving.

honestly, it did it's job too well.

It's a lot of characters to keep up with and a lot of things happening all at once, but overall a really fun intro to the world

hookerkitty's review against another edition

2.0

Almost DNF’d after the sexist drivel on the second page (which unfortunately repeats throughout the book), and now wish I would have. Different flavors of sexism/misogyny, toxic masculinity, judgy religious crap, confusing plot…just very disappointed. The bones were there, but it needed a LOT more work. It unfortunately it had just enough decent writing that I kept ignoring my gut and would trudge on through all the problematic (and also boring) content. Enough so that I was somewhat considering trying the next book out…until I read in a comment that there’s a full on rape scene in book 3. So continuing this series is a big ol’ NOPE from me. 

and I’m still just so honestly shocked that this was written by a woman. This came out in 2006, so I hope the author has recognized her internalized misogyny and has worked on that by now. We get enough of it from crappy men - we don’t need women shilling that too (that and toxic masculinity being regarded as romantic or just good in any sense)

I absolutely love this series. I read the first 2 in no time. The third was a little harder to get into. But I got back on track and am currently reading book 8. I love the main character and all of the surrounding characters. Honestly, my only real issue with this book is the cover art. The character on the cover and the character in the story do not align. Mercy Thompson looks nothing like the cover art. Beyond that, READ THIS SERIES!!

Mercy/Adam & Jesse family 4eva thank you

Man, being a werewolf in this world sounds like it sucks. Just too many options to die or lose control.

Stefan is great I love he.

I just hope Mercy will get some women in her circle in the future. It sucks that all the female wolves hate her for no good reason, and all her contacts and close friends seem to be male.

gonna be honest, not sure why i read this one. Pretty fair urban fantasy mystery, but not a series i’ll continue with. if youve read a werewolf book, you know the appeals and problems. read with all-dressed chips and gas station pizza
