March 1st 2011, Ace
326 pages, Hardback
Borrowed from the Library
Sixth in Mercy Thompson series
Adult Fiction
Amazon | Book Depository | Indie Bound


Car mechanic Mercy Thompson has always known there was something different about her, and not just the way she can make a VW engine sit up and beg. Mercy is a shapeshifter, a talent she inherited from her long-gone father. She's never known any others of her kind. Until now.
An evil is stirring in the depths of the Columbia River-one that her father's people may know something about. And to have any hope of surviving, Mercy and her mate, the Alpha werewolf Adam, will need their help...

Cover Review:

Quite honestly I hate all the covers for this series. Mercy has one tattoo. One. I have yet to read anyone describe any other tattoos on her body and as such it should be the only one portrayed and YET every single cover has her have a different tattoo that is NOT the tattoo she has.


Opinion:


Another EPIC read from Patricia Briggs! I really enjoyed this book despite the absence of the pack. Their absence was distinctly felt, but this one had so much action and SO much relationship realism that I enjoyed it all the same.

Mercy seems to be settling into her new home. Home of being near Adam. There honey moon isn’t all I love you, I love you too. It’s real. There are relationship issues that all new marriages have. Getting accustomed to not being accountable only to yourself, but to another who loves you so much can be a real struggle, especially when you are constantly in danger.

Adam struggles with what marriage should mean when you are alpha. Being married to a strong-willed woman when you are used to being dominant is a struggle for him. He so wants to just take control, but knows this would kill part of her. I love how this struggle is portrayed and shows so much of Adam’s personality.

The plot was spooky good. All the other villians in this series, I’ve simply hated, but this monster was the creepiest of them all. I loved how involved this monster was to every part of the plot.

Mercy meets some new characters that I hope we see a lot more of when book 7 finally releases in 2013. I cannot wait to read more of Mercy’s story.

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.
