Review:
Patricia Briggs pulls you in right from the beginning. Mercy is a take no ish, coyote in a world of beings that are far more powerful than her, but she manages to hold her own. In this book you meet all the supporting character you will come to love throughout the series. Adam the sexy Alpha, Stefan the VW bus driving vampire, Zee the Gremlin Fae, Warren Mercy’s best friend and member of the local werewolf pack, Jessie is Adam’s teenage daughter, and Samuel Mercy’s first love who broke her heart and son of the Murrok. This novel is a great start to the series it sets up its world without information overload and the action starts right away. You are not going to be bored with this novel and will want to continue on with the series right away!
