I could smell her fear, and it satisfied something deep inside me that had been writhing under her cool, superior gaze. I curled my upper lip so she could get a good look at my sharp teeth. I might only weigh thirty or so pounds in my coyote shape, but I was a predator…
Mechanic Mercy Thompson can shift her shape – but not her loyalty. When her former boss and mentor is arrested for murder and left to rot behind bars by his own kind, it’s up to Mercy to clear his name, whether he wants her to or not.
Mercy’s loyalty is under pressure from other directions, too. Werewolves are not known for their patience, and if Mercy can’t decide between the two she cares for, Sam and Adam may make the choice for her..
Read for Fun!

First thought when finished: Oh Patricia Briggs you just broke my heart!
What I Loved: There is no way to review this book properly without spoilers and I really don’t want to give anything away! This book moved me to tears! The last 5 chapters were exhilarating, heartbreaking, and emotionally exhausting. I cannot stress enough just how powerful the writing was and how brilliantly executed this storyline was delivered. It is not for the faint of heart and I am sure that there is aftermath that won’t be so easily swept aside! Just read it!
What I Liked: Resolution to that pesky triangle I didn’t like! I about stood up and cheered. It was resolved in a real way and while I don’t think it is permanently gone (darn it)–I do think it was addressed for the time being!!!!
Final Thought: This one broke my heart! I am glad I had book 4 ready to go 🙂
During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

Okay, I am definitely re-reading these. Which one is Ben?
For some reason werewolves aren’t my thing, but maybe because I haven’t read one book (unless Twilight counts) that had them. I guess I need to start somewhere so I can have a real opinion 🙂
These are a good intro into wolves as I like to read them. I think it is a pretty accurate way that I would see a werewolf pack being 🙂
It’s been a while since I read this one but I do remember being quite brokenhearted over it. A summer re-read of this series might be in order.
That final couple of chapters was when I a) fell in love with Ben and b) really wanted to hug Mercy and keep her safe forever! Yep I bawled ugly tears!
So glad you enjoy those books, Patricia Briggs really is an awesome author!
She is knocking my socks off!
Don’t tell me this broke your heart, I’m still needing to catch up to this one. Oh I love both Adam and Sam! *sigh*
This one did but not because of the boys. The boys were FAB!
It has been awhile since I read this one…trying to remember what broke your heart..this is the one with Sam and his problem right? I love Sam, I want him to be happy. I liked this one with the Fey and Zee…that walking stick it just keeps popping up!
It was the end in Mercy’s Garage and that moment with Ben.
