alassel 's review for:
Moon Called
by Patricia Briggs
In August, a friend gave me five of the Mercy Thompson books in paperback, and I proceeded to read them and then go through the rest via my Kindle in the space of about a week. Obviously, I didn't take the time to write individual reviews, as I was much too busy going through them as quickly as I could because I enjoyed them so much. Thus I am writing a single generic review for all of them noting what I like about the series. :)
A shapeshifter coyote woman who's an auto mechanic? Yeah, that's not going to interest me...and then ten books later, I come up for air. Mercy is a great character and I particularly enjoy that she's a strong woman with her own ideas, yet isn't infallible and does get herself hurt and into trouble despite her best intentions. I love the werewolves in this universe and find them interesting, with twists that are unique and which make a good deal of sense. The other creatures that show up at first felt inevitable, but then showed that they are different and fit into this world perfectly. I appreciate that Mercy has multiple different relationships with different people and creatures, and her own sense of honor is what drives her and gets her into most of the scrapes that she ends up in.
Overall, these are great books and I highly recommend you give them a try if you like paranormal stories, some romance (but not romance-centered, which was a refreshing change to be honest), and an excellent setting in the Washington Tri-Cities.
