This is the first book with a dual POV - mainly because Mercy is almost immediately kidnapped and spends the majority of the book away from Adam and the rest of the pack.
I know I make jokes about how many times kidnapping has been a story line in this series (and that is valid) but the stakes this time around were SO high and having Adam's POV and his distress over not being able to find his mate, really elevated the emotional stakes of this book. Mercy embracing her true superpower, chaos, was delightful as she really did find herself in some SITUATIONS - from surviving the kidnapping attempt (her kidnappers did not realise she is mostly human and nearly killed her in a car wreck), gathering information and escaping (in coyote form, through vineyards with a werewolf on her tail) to working out what to do when you find yourself in a foreign country - with no clothes, money or way of contacting home... and all this is just in the opening chapters.
Loved the way this book built on storylines, Mercy learnt more about being Coyote's daughter and what being a Walker could mean. The escalating situation with the Colombian Basin Pack being cut off from the Marrock's rule and how Mercy feels about this perceived abandonment by Bran.
