I received a copy of this book from the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review. Even more so, when the author weaves the story brilliantly and makes it impossible to guess who it the bad guy really is.Īnd as always, reading a Mercy Thompson novel goes by way too quickly, and I’m now sitting here, waiting impatiently for the next one. I absolutely adore monsters that are patterned on myth, lore, and folktales (see Kate Daniels). In regards to the main plot, it was as always fascinating. Besides the friendships that have developed and strengthened over time, new enemies and foes are plenty.įurthermore Smoke Bitten delivered quite the development, and I can’t wait to see where it all leads to. The ever growing allegiances and slight changes in pack ranking are fascinating to see unfold. I wish other heroines would be like her.Īlso, the every changing pack dynamic is still a favorite part of mine. She is not easily scared or jumps to conclusion. There isn’t another heroine like her that has the ability and intuitive perception to see the bigger picture. And I very much admired the way she handled it all. Her faith in Adam is unbroken, not even in the face of some unsettling changes. Most important of all, Mercy is strong, smart, and loyal.
That allows for some very interesting maneuvering on her part regarding pack politics, dynamic, and allegiances between the members of the pack. Nothing has changed in the way she supports Adam in every way she can, but she is also aware that she is not fully part of the pack yet. Although she found her place in Adam’s pack, she still operates very much as a her own entity. What I love about this series the most is that Mercy is still very much her own person. For any Mercy Thompson fan, this book is shaking things up. Things I thought were settled and well adjusted, are now on its head.
I’m always fascinated when authors change the status quo. Not only was it a story that engaged and captivated me, it also allowed me to leave RL behind and enjoy the world of Mercy Thompson to the fullest. It can make you do anything-even kill the person you love the most. It can look like anyone, any creature it chooses. Without the fae to mind them, those creatures who remained behind roamed freely through Underhill wreaking havoc. They abandoned their prisoners and their pets. They left behind their great castles and troves of magical artifacts. It looks like I'm going to need them.Ĭenturies ago, the fae dwelt in Underhill-until she locked her doors against them. But I have friends in odd places and a pack of werewolves at my back. My only "superpowers" are that I turn into a thirty-five pound coyote and fix Volkswagens. Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, faces a threat unlike any other in this thrilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
