This book had some harder aspects to deal with but all in all, I really love the characters and the way they are portrayed. Aside from the werewolf/vampire/fairy aspect, I've known people who behave this way and that's not always something you can say about urban fantasy.
That said, there are some serious issues Mercy deals with in this installment. She's grappling with keeping her independence in a couple of different relationships - something most of the women I know have had to deal with - and she has to deal with friends needing her help but continuously telling her to keep out of it - something Coyote just wasn't ever good at.
The end is the hardest part of all. If you've ever been in a seriously bad relationship, been forced into anything sexual or know anyone who has, this book is both bad and good. Bad in that it might bring up some things you'd rather not think about but good in that Briggs makes some points that everyone should understand about these things.

Most of this book is similar to the first in this series but the quarter of the book deals with the main character being drugged, assaulted and raped.
