As always, I love me some Mercy Thompson. This book was no exception. I'm excited to see where the politics of the Mercy-verse, as a whole, are leading the series.

My only complaint (and no, I didn't downrank for this... that would be too petty), is where is Bran?! He's by far my favorite character in the entire verse, and I feel starved for every crumb I can get. There weren't nearly enough in this book.

But as always, the book didn't disappoint. I love that Mercy is a strong character, who takes care of everyone she loves ... all without having to be an alpha-bitch about it. I love that Mercy and Adam can love each other and want to protect each other... but manage to not undercut each other. They are stronger together than they are apart.

The worst thing about getting to visit one of my favorite series for the latest installment is finishing, and knowing it will be a year or more before I get to come back. :(

Re-read March 2017 - Despite the lack of Bran (sad sigh) I loved it. And I loved getting some Asil (I had honestly forgotten that we ever saw him in the Mercy series... I thought he was strictly in the Charles/Anna series).

This plot was a little convoluted to me - (view spoiler) - but the story flowed smoothly as the reader scrambled to figure out wtf was happening right alongside Mercy and Adam. I'd love to get a companion book from Bran's POV - and this isn't just me pining for Bran - just to see how information unfolded on his end. Did he discover that this was a vampire plot? That a vampire was trying to build an empire to rival his?

Anyway, loved it. Of course I did. I loved even more that this wasn't Mercy's fault, haha. It's tiresome having the douchey pack members (not all of them, but the ones who don't like Mercy) blame her for every bad thing that happens... even though the whole chain of events began as werewolf politics that were in play well before Mercy got involved, and it is only Mercy's involvement that kept things from being a disaster for Adam's pack (though I really don't believe it would have ever gone so far that Bran would have been at risk). But this one is indisputably not her fault - (view spoiler) So that was nice. ...more
