Series Review:
I've been meaning to read this series since I began book blogging and never seemed to find the time. After I read the first book in the series I didn’t want to stop reading before I wrote the review and ended up reading the first five books in the series within three days! Yes, quite addicting this series is!
Mercy is a fierce character who reminds me of one of my good friends. She can annoy the hell out of me, but in the end I still love her. She goes through so much in these books and the events are real life changing events that have real substance and she experiences them in a completely natural way. Mercy is constantly getting herself into trouble and usually this is because someone she loves is in danger. She is more likely to throw herself into the fray of issues than allow anyone to help. This can come at huge costs.
I didn’t really root for one guy over the other. In my perfect world she’s end up in tres menage. Adam is constantly protective and truly understands Mercy. Samuel is an old love who still holds Mercy’s heart and cares deeply about her. His hurt makes him instantly easy to love.
The Marrok tribe is the reason werewolves are battling mythology for my favorite paranormal element. Family which is what tribe is all about is so close to my heart.
The many characters are fully developed and yet the plot is never ending action.
Favorite Secondary Character: Zee- even though he had a small part in the books his power and grace was overwhelming.
Favorite Cover: Bone Crossed- I don't really like any of the covers. The only tattoo I remember being mentioned is the paw print on her stomach and it annoys me that in every single cover she is covered in tattoos.
Favorite Book: I really enjoyed both the first and the fith.
RieI'm a wife, student, and a dog-lover who reads when I should be folding laundry (bane of my existance), I write (rarely as academic papers consume my life), and love getting wrapped up in fiction.
I also love this series, It's always a pleasure to follow the Mercy adventures. I can't wait to read the next one! You're right it's always difficult to choose between the two men, they're so different.
ReplyDeleteI just skimmed your review because I've only read the first book but I wanted to see what your overall impression was of this series. I'm hoping to make time for Blood Bound soon. Mercy's an awesome heroine, I can't wait to spend more time with her!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see a series review of these books! They have been on my radar for a while but I just have not had a chance to pick one up yet. I really want to read them more now! I am especially glad that you seemed to like the main character.
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad you liked them! Mercy Thompson is definitely one of the most realistic yet badass heroines out there. I wasn't a huge fan of River Marked, but hopefully things will pick up again in the next book!
ReplyDeleteI really need to try this series. I was just looking at the first book the other day and I didn't get it! Now I'm regretting that decision if you read these books so fast.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great review on what sounds like a great series!
I haven't read this series yet, but it was just recommended to me! I'll definitely need to check it out soon.

It is so good! I totally encourage you to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI would recommend getting all the books at once, so that when you finish one and want the next it's right there. Trust me you are gonna wish you had the next book. Overdrive from the library has all of them at least in my area.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a chance to get River Marked! I really need to. Love this series!
ReplyDeleteI did love Mercy. She annoyed me at times, but mainly because she reminds me of one of my friends that often annoys. So it could be just that. But overall I loved her.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for you to pick up the other ones! So good!
ReplyDeletei love this series. sad you don't like the covers. i actually really like them. and i am team adam all the way. samuel is cool but i just don't see them together.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitively a series that's on my TBR list. I just haven't found the time to read it. Like you, I might go on a reading spree and read them back to back. Maybe not in 3 days. I'm not that fast!
ReplyDeleteI've read the first two books and I loved them. I'm definitely Team Adam, I'm an Alpha kinda girl Lol. The tattoos threw me off because they are different on every cover?? Great review =D
