I deliberately avoided reading too much about this series so I wouldn't be swayed particularly since it is raved about so strongly.
Much stronger than I was expecting, I was suprised to find that Mercy was not a werewolf at all. An human/supe world - not particularly anything different from what is out there already, but Moon Called introduces some interesting characters, politics and Briggs has her own touches.
Mercy's background is quite unique and she is not quite the sterotypical UF heroine ...more

Love this book.
It it a bit slow to start with but you immediatly get sucked into mercy's world.

Mercy's world is about to change with the werewolves wanting to come out of hiding from the humans.
but Adam (the local hot studly alpha) is severely beaten and his daughter kidnapped.

to find Jesse(adam's Daughter) Mercy enlist the help of her old boss (and grmlin/metalsmith/Fae) Zee, and Stefan (a scooby doo loving Vampire) and the Marrok (the alpha of all alpha's). to track the kidnappers down.

I read this last year, but after finishing Night Broken a few days ago I wanted to start the series again. My GR friends have enjoyed the audio versions so I chose this format this time around. Being familiar with the story allowed me to simply enjoy the narration. Ms. King does a good job. I loved Mercy's voice, although her Adam and Samuel are very similar at times. I hope this improves in the next one, which I'll start as soon as I get my hands on it! ...more

Enjoyed this easy read. The Female character Mercedes is a mechanic who shape shifts into a coyote. Mercedes brought up by werewolves bought her garage from the Fae and has customers that include vampires so plenty of differing magical dimensions. A strong independent woman who kills when she needs to protects those she loves and has a strong sense of morality

This was good, I really liked the main character. I like that she's not your typical were-something, I think there's a lot of directions that the author can go in w/ her. Looking forward to reading book #2, once I finish #4 and #5 of Women of the Otherworld... ...more
