Another amazing read. I love how Briggs can continue to write about the wolves, but bring other lore into the story as well. This one focused more heavily on the vampires, which added another layer to the world building. Things are developing between Mercy, Adam and Samuel is still around. I completely love this series! (

I love Mercy - she's such a believable heroine. She's just the right amount stubborn, she's not too dependent or lovestruck, and she's not ridiculously overpowered. I'll be reading book three as soon as I get a copy :) (

Patricia Briggs is an author I enjoy reading and the Mercy Thompson series is my favorite series by her. I love that she books have so much to them, intrigue, mystery, romance, paranormal and so much more. I find myself invested in both the story and the characters. These books feel both new and fresh but also comfortable to read like a favorite sweatshirt. I highly recommend anything by Patricia Briggs. (

Book description

Under the rule of science, there are no witch burnings allowed, no water trials or public lynchings. In return, the average law-abiding, solid citizen has little to worry about from the things that go bump in the night. Sometimes I wish I was an average citizen...

Mechnic Mercy Thompson has friends in low places - and in dark ones. And now she owes one of them a favour. Since she can shapeshift at will, she agrees to act as some extra muscle when her vampire friend Stefan goes to deliver a message to another of his kind.

But this new vampire is hardly ordinary - and neither is the demon inside of him...
