Not sure what the point of this book was, other than setting up future story lines.

The theme was "only Mercy could go to a city with over a million people and get bitten by the only vampire there". (

The more books I read in this series the more I love it!!!
Mercy & Adam are great together and I really like where their relationship is going...more so since the author didn't forget to focus some of her attention in the storyline of other characters like Stefan and Samuel, without whom (in my opinion) this series wouldn't be this good! (

Another highly entertaining book in the series. No boring bits, no exhausted story components. (

For some reason, my review and rating are gone, so my review won't be as detailed as before.

I do love the Mercy Thompson books and have read most of them. I don't remember much about this book, just that it wasn't as strong as the other in the series. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy reading it. It was just more info added into learning about Mercy and her life.

Epigraph

Dedication

For Jordan, whimsical, musical friend of critters furred, scaled, and feathered

First words

I stared at my reflection in the mirror.

Quotations

I could feel his willingness to participate in my trial pressed against my backside.

And like the wolf he (Adam) was, he laved the wound in my soul, bandaging it with his care - and moved on to the next. He explored thoroughly, found each mental wound - and a few I didn't know I had - and replaced them with other ... better things

Book description

There was I thinking being a shifter had its upsides. Looks like I was wrong.

Car mechanic and sometime shapeshifter Mercy Thompson has learned - the hard way - why her race was almost exterminated. When European vampires emigrated to North America, they found Mercy's people had a hidden talent for vampire slaying. Unfortunately for Mercy, the queen of the local vampire seethe has discovered her true identity.

The undead queen is also furious when she learns Mercy has crossed her and killed one of her own. Mercy may be protected from direct reprisals by the werewolf pack (and her interesting relationship with its Alpha), but that just means Marsilia will come after Mercy some other way. So Mercy had better prepare to watch her back.
