I love the Mercy Thompson series/world, as much if not more, than the Anita Blake novels. I definately recommend these books to any fan of urban fantasy. Patricia Briggs is a great author. She really draws you into the book. There is plenty of action, a touch of romance (but not too much) and fully flushed out characters.
This book dwells mostly on the werewolves in Mercy's life. The werewolves have a well defined social order, although I think I enjoyed Laurell K. Hamilton's wolves a bit better. ...more

Rating reflects my original unbiased review.

First let me start out by saying that I really liked how this book didn't have any swearing and no sex! I'm not a prude and don't mind swearing and sex scenes but this was just refreshing.
This book kept my attention from the first page and I look forward to reading more of Mercy's adventures. I like how strong she was and how she kept a level head when she was in some dangerous situations. I am hoping that I will get to read about more her life when she lived with the pack. ...more

It's a very good start for a series. I can't praise this one enough, so just go read it if you like urban fantasy and haven't done it yet!
