This is the last book of this series that I have read before. So happy that I can continue with the other books, but this reread was fun! I even enjoyed the stories more this time. (

The pack had been kidnapped and Mercy needs to find and protect the ones that are left. She goes through a bunch and again gets caught in a compulsion spell of sorts. We get to see Adam's POV a bit and I really enjoy that.
There's a bunch of vampire politics in this one and we meet Thomas Howe.
I really would like to see more of Asil and how he interacts with Mercy's pack. (

Still think the last 20% is pointless. (

Better than the last couple a nice twist some 2/3 way through changes what had been more or less pedestrian into something more challenging with good hooks for the future.

There's references to a few events not detailed in the last book, so I suspect there are short stories inbetween these titles. (

Book description

Shapeshifter Mercy Thompson's life is calming down, at least enough that she can focus on mundane matters like Black Friday sales. But on her return, Mercy is unable to contact her mate, Alpha Adam Hauptman, or the other members of their pack. All she knows is that Adam is angry and in pain. With the werewolves fighting a political battle to gain acceptance from the public, Mercy fears Adam's disappearance may be related - and that he and the pack are in serious danger. Outclassed and on her own, Mercy may be forced to seek assistance from the most unlikely of allies: the vampire seethe.
