4th in the "Mercy Thompson" series and just as good as the previous ones. Briggs just knows how to make the reader care for her characters. All of them are three-dimensional and well-rounded, the good guys just like the baddies. I loved the new characters, especially Chad, and John's fate made me actually cry (it's strange but every one of Mercy's adventures somehow makes me cry in the end). And then there was Adam, Samuel, Bran, Stefan, Warren and Kyle, the fae and the weres, the crazy vamp Wul ...more

I don't see Mercy trying as hard to make the relationship work, but Adam is trying for the two of them. This has been my favorite book in the series, the action isn't as non-stop or heart pumping but there is further character developm ...more

I really enjoyed this one….like, A LOT. It felt like the strongest in the series thus far. Ms. Briggs seems truly comfortable with all of her characters and it shows with every aspect of this book until I couldn't put it down. It made me look forward to lunchbreak on my 10-hours shifts, forgoing lunch to sit down and follow these characters. Who needs work when you've got Mercy going toe-to-toe with the vamps and learning about just what she wants from her relationship with Adam (which, btw was ...more
