While the book is entertaining and enjoyablet, he horrible sexism is unbelievable. Just because you acknowledge the sexism and are horrified by it, doesn't mean it's not sexist. It's still sexist if the character then goes ahead and tolerates it because that's just the way the culture is. By tolerate it, I mean let herself be dragged into it again and again, even though she isn't part of it and it hurts her. These men treat her like crap and she mostly lets them. They put her in horrible danger ...more

One of the first urban fantasy series I ever read and still among the best of the genre.

Complicated characters, engaging plot, well-thought out world and that extra something that makes a book draw you in and make you stay in that world for just a little bit longer.

The overall series continues with Alpha & Omega, and the story of how Charles met Anna.

First read: August 1st 2010 ~ 5 stars
Re-read: March 8th 2014 ~ still 5 stars
Re-read 2: September 20th 2019 ~ 5 stars ...more

I went into reading this book rather wary of what I would find. I remember when I first picked it up and read the back was back when I was still working at Waldenbook's. (i.e. college) It hadn't grabbed me with the back cover enough to buy it, but it did stick with me. Then all the reviews from people that I started hearing about how great the series was seemed to have the opposite effect on me. I was almost scared to read it and be disappointed.

Middle of last year, I ended up finding book #4 at ...more

Interesting new character, female mechanic and walker (shifter) Mercy Thompson. Mercy has a good heart and was raised by werewolves.

Oh drat, I'm on book #7 of Mercy Thompson when I heard that it was chronologically linked with the Alpha & Omega series (starting with Cry Wolf). So now I have to catch up with the Alpha & Omega books. If you want to do it right from the beginning, 's the reading order. (view spoiler) ...more

I thought Mercy Thompson was a well-developed character in a believable world of vampires, werewolves and walkers. She's tough, likable, and keeps interesting company. Nice, fast-paced story and a quick read. Very enjoyable! ...more

I loved this book. Mercy Thompson is an excellent heroine. Her strengths are not defined by her mystical powers as a walker but as an adaptable person with special abilities. Raised by werewolves she understands the inner workings of being part of a pack without the bother of actually having to conform and be pack. It is the readers priviledge to get an inside look at Mercy's knowledge of "others" and things that go bump in the night.

Mercy is an auto mechanic who finds herself deep into a myster ...more

Shelves: 2011

I admit that I assumed this series would be all about sex, vampires, and werewolves. It's much more! I loved the modern twist of whether or not fae creatures and the like should come out into the greater world. That, along with the various pack politics, vampire infighting, etc made for a strong story. I also appreciate the rich characters. All in all, I look forward to devouring the rest of the series! ...more

This was fun. Mercy is a complicated person...she'll go to church, bake cookies, repair a car's engine and then shoot some bad guys. Oh yeah, and she also happens to be able to turn into a coyote.
This is , as I often say about pure pleausure reads, the literary equivalent of eating potato chips or buttered popcorn. It's meant to be fun and it sure is hard to stop once you get started. Briggs is a talented writer. Her dialogue is snappy and occasionally hilarious.
She also writes vivid, believabl ...more

I love Mercedes Thompson! She is strong and capable, but not too stupid to take help when she needs it. The connections between Mercy & Adam and Mercy & Samuel are easy to see, and create a wonderful love triangle that I am eager to see develop.
