Another fabulous book. I will admit I didn't like this one as much as some of the others, but I missed the other characters. This was nice though because Adam and Mercy got some alone(ish) time and we could really get to see them in love and relaxed instead of being in love while in dangerous situations.

Glad Stefan got some mentions and that we learned more about Mercy's past!

ok this is now my favorite of the mercy series. One her and Adam are married *squeals like a highschool girl* Two she got to meet coyote who let's face it, even though Joe Old Coyote is dead, Coyote is still her father in some aspects. Three you kinda get into Mercy's roots. It was so hard to put this book down once I started, that when I passed out I had passed out with the book in my hand. Definitely can't wait until the next book I just love this series.

I'm so happy that Mercy is finally embracing what Adam and the pack have to offer. I've been frustrated with a few of the books in the past. I get that she's had a rough past, she's guarded, blah, blah, blah but geez, by a couple books in we get the point, get over it already. I really enjoyed this one, much more than the one before it. Loved Coyote. :)

RIVER MARKED is book six in the Mercedes Thompson series and it was great fun, if a little confusing at times. I think I might have actually broken some kind of speed reading record with this one, it was just so damn readable. Of course, it doesn't hurt that I frickin' love these characters and feel so comfortable in Briggs' hands when it comes to her Mercy world. Great stuff.

The plot did get a bit mind-boggling though, it has to be said. It's probably one of those books that needs to be read slowly to fully absorb the complicated magical and mythological explanations, not at a million miles per hour like I did. But maybe when I re-read it, it will make perfect sense. Or maybe not, becasue Mercy didn't even understand what was going on half the time either!

As much as I enjoyed this instalment, I can't wait for Mercy to get to get back with rest of the pack in the next book. This one was mostly her and Adam alone and out of town away from the rest of the guys. I'm not sure that Mercy is what you'd call "universally loved" within the pack, so it will be fascinating to watch how she gets on with that. Because to me, what makes this series great is the intricacies of the pack dynamics - their behaviours, both human and wolf, and how they deal with them. So I did miss them here, but the new characters we met went some way to making up for their lack.

All-in-all, a great addition to the series.

5 Stars! ★★★★★
