Raised by the most powerful pack in North America,
Mercedes Thompson knows all about werewolves and their
rules, even though she's not one of them. A Volkswagen
mechanic by trade, Mercy is a walker, able to change into
coyote form. Not as strong as a werewolf, Mercy can still
hold her own. When Mac, a newly formed werewolf, walks
into her shop, instead of following werewolf law and
taking the matter to her neighbor Adam, the alpha wolf,
Mercy decides to wait and see what happens.
When things get bad, Mercy has no choice but to contact
Adam and tell him about Mac. By then though, it's too
late. Adam is injured during an attack at his home, his
human daughter, Jesse, is kidnapped and Mac is murdered
and left at Mercy's doorstep as a warning. Not knowing
what do to or who to trust, Mercy borrows her vampire
client's van and takes a severely injured Adam back to the
pack that raised her.
Once back, Mercy has to face Samuel, the man she left
behind, and all the old hate and animosity from the
enemies she made during her time with the pack. With
Adam's ability to heal quickly, he and Mercy, with Samuel
in tow, are soon back on the road to getting Adam's
daughter back. Unraveling the mystery to the person
responsible for the coup may be harder than they think.
The master plan involves all of them and if they don't
figure it out soon enough, it'll be the end to the packs
as they know them.
MOON CALLED is the first in a new series by Patricia
Briggs. Mercy is a strong character that can hold her own
but one of the things I really liked about her is that she
seems to know her own limitations. If it's something
she's not capable of, she'll back down and doesn't pout
about it. The relationship she has with both Samuel and
Adam is absorbing and I can't wait to see how things get
worked out with them. Fans of Kim Harrison's series will
be delighted with this new offering. From shape-shifters,
to witches to vampires and more, this story has a little
to offer everyone. Left wanting a whole lot more, I can't
wait to see what this series has in store for us next.
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 more trouble.
