Werewolves can be dangerous if you get in their way, but they’ll leave you alone if you are careful. They are very good at hiding their natures from the human population, but I’m not human. I know them when I meet them, and they know me, too.
Mercy Thompson’s sexy next-door neighbor is a werewolf.
She’s tinkering with a VW bus at her mechanic shop that happens to belong to a vampire.
But then, Mercy Thompson is not exactly normal herself … and her connection to the world of things that go bump in the night is about to get her into a whole lot of trouble.

NOTE: I realize I am late to the Mercy Thompson series so this review will be no big revelation to the 100s of you that told me to read them.
First Thought When Finished: Oh My GOSH! Y’all were all right and I totally bow to your greatness!
What I Loved: Well just about everything! I know, I know that is totally not specific especially for something I gave a 4.75. Alright here we go! I loved the characters! They were so well written and very well-rounded. No one is black/white instead they run the emotional and attitude rainbow. Some of the best I have read! World-Building was excellent. I never felt lost or out of touch. In fact, it felt very organic and real.
What I Liked: Patricia Briggs has a writing style that draws you into the story quickly and never lets you go! The pacing was excellent.
Why it didn’t get a 5: Love Triangle–hate them! Even the hint of one makes my skin crawl.
Final Thought: I am really hooked!
(I am going to start adding Recipes to things that I ate while reading. I blame Mercy for making me crave sweets while reading)

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.

I really need to catch up on this series! I’ve read the first four books, but I haven’t started the rest of them yet. I love Mercy though! She’s such a fun protagonist!
I bow to Patricia’s greatness also. I’m a Mercy & Adam junky. I can gulp each book down in one sitting.
Yay, glad you love this series like I do! Enjoy the rest of them!
Love Love your review, Ive been thinking about trying a Briggs novel….but I must be honest I really hate that cover….
Im reading Karen Marie Monings Fever series right now so maybe after I can try this one…:)
Well you’re not the last to read this series. I started this a long time ago and put it down. Looks like that was a mistake! Time to throw it back on the TBR 🙂
PS. Love the recipe idea! Not that I need to be learning how to make sweets…
Damn right! Bow to Patricia Briggs and this fantastic series!! Even though you’re late to the party, it’s still a good one and definitely worth carrying on for. Happy reading!
YES! YES! YES! I am ok with being late, it meant I got to the party LOL
This is one of the few love △s that make the most sense to me… but yea… don’t like them a whole lot either.
Still love this series!
Yep I devoured the first 4 books and had to make myself read something else! My book buying budget would have gone out the window LOL
Nooo! Don’t diss the love triangle! It’s not really one, it’s more that it has to be
I was happy that it was resolved by the 3rd book! That was awesome 🙂
Yummy, homemade pralines to eat over icecream. Thanks for the recipe. I love this serie, so fun. I like the banter between Mercy and Adam. I like the pack and it just gets better and better. Glad you are loving the gang as well.
You do know I started my recipe thing early for you, right?
I do like Adam and Mercy together–they balance each other out 🙂
Love pretty much anything from Patricia Briggs as well. So glad you gave it a try! 🙂
YES! These are so good! I think I am going to be sad when I catch up LOL
