review:
First off, definitely don't judge the book by its cover - it gives the wrong impression of what kind of book it is. In actuality, this is a good imaginative story about Mercy Thompson, shapeshifter and mechanic, raised by werewolves. Mercy Thompson is a fantastic character - fiercely loyal, smart and brave. The intricacies of werewolf politics are interesting and woven into the story well enough that explaining it doesn't weigh down the plot. I did think that the villain's game plan seemed awfully convoluted in the end.

I liked this book even better than the first. More suspenseful, especially a scene where the very creepy villain attacks Mercy's trailer while she's alone there at night. Also liked the opening sequence, because it's intriguing seeing how Mercy handles situations when she's in her coyote form. I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series!

review:
This book is a bit dry and took me a while to read. It does capture a sense of what it is like to be old and reflecting on one's life and how much the world has changed. This is a book that is great in moments (such as when Ferris goes to find his adult son in Portsmouth, N.H.) but overall kind of dull and not really cohesive.

The Vanishing Point is an engrossing read. I was really invested in the main couple, and was anxious throughout hoping they would make it together.
