Add to all of that, there's some unease between Mercy and Adam, and that's what concerned me the most. Also,there's some trouble with Wulfe, apparently after-effects from the last story, making Mercy a focus for him, and there's another set of werewolves stirring trouble for the Pack. The new badie in town is a creature that can take over the will of another with a bite. And yes buy this book because three times the charm. Yes buy this series if you like good writing. In the end, yes buy this book if you follow the series. I also enjoy that this series focuses on Celtic, Slavic, and to a lesser degree Native American myths rather than Norse or Greek, and does so rather well. Anyway I digress, I enjoy that the married couple behave like a married couple, there is no stupid false drama everything organic, and I wish more married authors did this.


Personally one of my favorite things about this book and series is that the story doesn't end with the two MCs get hitched, which was back in book three if I remember right. If want a strong female character done properly, Mercy is right here, feel free to take notes. None of my typical grips are here, it shows more than tells, it properly describes things and best of al there are no politics. Over all this is one of the best books I've read this year. Yes it is one of the few series that sits in the middle of the two subgenres, as it balance relationships and plot pretty evenly though it does tip between the two based on the book, this one is a relationship book. This series is held up there with the greats of PNR and/or Urban Fantasy with Dresend Files, Kare Daniels, and such for a reason for any new comers. So if you are wondering if this book as good, or if this series is good and if this book lives up to the rest of the series the answer is yes to all. 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 35 pound coyote and fix Volkswagens. Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, faces a threat unlike any other in this thrilling entry in the number one New York Times best-selling series.
