A good example of “dont judge a book by its cover” because the cover on this book is trash. I almost didn’t read it because it makes it look so bad.
I enjoyed this. It reminds me somewhat of twilight but way less dramatic

One of my favorite urban fantasy series!
Mercy Thompson is a strong willed coyote shifter, and Patricia Briggs has created a beautiful world for her to live in.
Faerie and human conflict, werewolves are coming out of the woodwork, vampires trying to remain hidden; Mercy takes you on an exciting adventure every time you pick up a book, without losing herself in her love interests like so many heroines in this genre do.
I have read the entire series (7 books at the time of this review) and I enjoyed sitting on the edge of my seat reading each one .

Review from 2013 (much younger me) 2.5 stars
I don't know why this book has such high reviews, I mean it's a good book but I could easily put it down and go do dishes and come back hours later. If a book is good I can't do that.
I will read the second one but I don't have very high hopes :S
Review from 2020 4.5 stars
How did I rate this 2.5 stars? At this point I have read this series so often I can pick anywhere in the book and continue reading like nothing.
You all know those kinds of books.
I adore this series. The main character Mercy is badass without being topdog/alpha. You get introduced to "all the pies" Mercy has got her fingers in without having then shoved down your throat or one overshadowing another.
This book left me feeling happy. It leads off into the next without having a cliffhanger of an unfinished job.
It's hard to explain why this series is my favorite but it feels like home. This is my go to series when books start ticking me off (reading too many duds in a row) or if I'm feeling particularly moody in my reading.
I just started reading the "mercy Thompson world" in order and I do recommend doing it that way. You don't feel like you miss details in this series but there is so much behind the scenes knowledge you learn in the other series "Alpha and Omega"

I almost didn't read this book because of the cover. I know the old saying, but I judged it anyway. It has been in my library for quite awhile. I just started reading the book, and it is very good so far. I am only half way through it, but want to warn everyone to IGNORE the cover. The book is good.

Quite easily my favorite first book in urban fantasy. I don’t know if it has to do with found family and a pack but I loved all about it. I cannot wait to continue!
