I took a break from the Mercy Thompson series for a month or two, as I've devoted this year to reading the entire series, something I've been meaning to do for a long time now. So, it was with quite a pleasant surprise that the end of my hiatus led me to a renewed enjoyment of the series, as this book was exceptionally well done. It deals primarily with the topic of suicide, so anyone with raw emotions on that subject might want to stay away from this read for a while. What I enjoyed the most ab ...more

It's been a long time since I read the previous book and I'd forgotten how well written the series is. The plot is realistic, the relationships between the different characters without excessive drama and the atmosphere ranging from dark to cozy to intense and everything in between.

Mercy is a solid character, with her flaws and her issues and reading about her, seeing her world through her eyes, is anything but boring. She deals with her problems, relies on others when she has to instead of tryi ...more

I thoroughly enjoyed this addition to the Mercy Thompson series - I enjoyed seeing where her relationship with Adam and the rest of the pack is going, as well as the interesting turns in Samuel's life. The danger/villain part of the story is enough to keep you guessing, but the way all the characters relate to each other and work together (or not) is what really made this book for me. ...more

I was worried about Samuel, now I'm sad. Didn't really like the way his story resolved - like maybe his story was boring and he needed to get out of the way - but I love him! He's one of the best parts! Moving on, not a big Adam fan. (view spoiler) Overall, another enjoyable Mercy story. ...more

What I loved the most about Silver Borne is the growth as we circle back to the pack, and the relationships and conflicts that had taken a backseat to the action. I loved seeing Mercy stand up to the choices she has made and take her place in the pack.
There is still enough plot action as Mercy matches wits with a Faerie Queen, but even there it is the emotional scenes that take priority.
It actually felt like a lot of things were wrapped up or concluded in this book so it will be interesting to ...more

This was another great book in this series. My top three heroes right now, Mercy, Kate Daniels and Chess Putnam.

Very rarely do I read three books in the same series because I get bored. This series is a definite exception, I wish there were many more books because I haven't had enough of Mercy, San, Stephan and of course Adam and the pack. ...more
