Moon called: Mercy Thompson's sexy neighbor is a werewolf and she's working on a VW bus owned by a vampire. But then, Mercy Thompson is not exactly normal herself--she's a shape-shifter. Blood bound: Mechanic Mercy Thompson has friends in low places--and in dark ones--and now she owes one of them a favor. 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. Iron kissed: When her former boss show more and mentor is arrested for murder, its up to shapeshifting car mechanic Mercy Thompson to clear his name, whether he wants her to or not. And she'll have to choose between the two werewolves in her life--whether she wants to or not. show lessTags

I think this is the first time ever I checked a book out of the library with a half-dressed woman on the front. :p A friend recommended this as a complete escape novel, which is exactly what I was looking for. I decided to give it a try, despite the cover, and was immediately hooked. Don't let the cover fool you, this book is an adventure, not a romance, and it's not trashy. There are romantic elements but we don't have to read any play-by-plays! There was some mild language, and of course, the whole premise of the book hinges on there being magical creatures still on the earth. But, it was an adventure & a mystery from about page 3. If you are looking for an escape, for pure "brain candy" with no redeeming qualities except that it will show more keep you up all night reading, then give this one a try show less
This is book 1-3 of a series. I am checking it out to see if I like the writer or not. If I don't it goes on paperback swap LOL
I LOVE THIS SERIES!!! I can't wait to get more of this series. The main character is really easy to like a cheer for. I thought it was going to be like other books where they drag out the two men in love with the main character for several books, but it actually tied it up pretty well. I like how it isn't mainly a love story, but a mystery as well. Great read.

I'm not sure quite what it is that I love about this book so much. It's actually a collection of three books: Moon Called, Blood Bound, and Iron Kissed. Moon Called was great, Blood Bound was probably my favorite of the three, and Iron Kissed was my least favorite (although it was still pretty good).
I'd most definitely recommend this book to those who are fans of werewolf/vampire things... It's a little more "adult" than the Twilight saga, and really has nothing in common with it. And no, the vampires don't sparkle. ;) 5/5 times I wonder how it's physically possible for a person to shift into a coyote. o_O

Fantastic fun. You cannot help but love Mercedes (The sexy illustration on the cover has captured perfectly how the author has painted her to appear in my mind's eye). What I love the most about this series is the VAMPIRES! They are quite possibly the creepiest bad-assed vampires I have ever read. Will definately read more of Briggs.
I truley enjoyed all three of these books. She kept each story interesting in its own way. It was a fun read with a lot of different characters and many action scenes and some romance. I cannot wait for the next one to come out.
A great series! I have been reading this series for quite a while. I started out with reading Blood Bound, book two of the series, and I have been HOOKED ever since.
it has first 3 stories about mercy a mechanic who is a walker but gets involved with vampires, wherewolves ghosts demons. its a good series clean, fun books.
