Book #0.5 (and #1) Synopsis
The werewolf Anna finds a new sense of self when the son of the werewolf king comes to town to quell unrest in the Chicago pack- and inspires a power in Anna that she's never felt before.
---
Anna never knew werewolves existed, until the night she survived a violent attack... and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the pack, she'd learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. Then Charles Cornick, the enforcer—and son—of the leader of the North American werewolves, came into her life.

Charles insists that not only is Anna his mate, but she is also a rare and valued Omega wolf. And it is Anna's inner strength and calming presence that will prove invaluable as she and Charles go on the hunt in search of a rogue werewolf—a creature bound in magic so dark that it could threaten all of the pack.

Book #1 Synopsis
Mercedes "Mercy" Thompson is a talented Volkswagen mechanic living in the Tri-Cities area of Washington. She also happens to be a walker, a magical being with the power to shift into a coyote at will. Mercy's next-door neighbor is a werewolf. Her former boss is a gremlin. And she's fixing a bus for a vampire. This is the world of Mercy Thompson, one that looks a lot like ours but is populated by those things that go bump in the night. And Mercy's connection to those things is about to get her into some serious hot water...

It's more action-packed than it is scary.

First thing of thought of when Ashley Marie said ghost hunters:



Dunno why.

I know that feeling! :P

One of my biggest crushes: Fabricio Ternes



















*swoons*

You can read it now. So far she sets up a story for the next book without really having a massive cliffhanger each time... which I like. Cliffhangers can be brutal!

Book three isn't out yet, but I've read book two!

I've been wanting to read that Michel! Looking forward to your thoughts!!!

Lisa Kay wrote: "Aww... you're just making me feel better."

No, I'm just that far behind ;P

Haha, I'm behind in Kinsey too... next up for me is LOL

YES! The slow burn beginning turned into a huge fire by the end!!!

I love the elementals and the vampires and little Sammy!

I'm reading , and working on as my lobster reads it (so slow progress).

Can't decide what I'm going to pick up alongside my Mercy/Alpha&Omega read. :)

I will be reading 4 more of the Kinsey Millhone series by Sue Grafton asap, along with a few new releases from this month and the Peter Grant book for the cross-genre readings.

Hi there Angela!

Welcome!!! :)

Sometimes, some crimes go slipping through the cracks but these two gumshoes are picking up the slack! there's no case too big, no case too small... when you need help just call!
