Even with thirteen books already in the series, Patricia Briggs shows no signs of stopping. With SOUL TAKEN, the vampire Wulfe goes missing. As a significant character in this series, it’s up to Mercy to locate him. However, as she goes around the Tri-cities, she discovers that there’s more to what’s happening than meets the eye.

I’ve always seen this series to be more soft-spoken and subtle than other Urban Fantasy series out there. Briggs isn’t a flashy writer. Instead, she builds momentum slowly, but despite the calm approach that Briggs takes with this series thus far, there’s still an abundance of action scenes. This time, I feel like there was more attention on the twists and turns, creating an interesting read that I enjoyed.

There’s an interesting focus for this book, but I wasn’t sure if it was a favorite of mine. Still, I loved being back in this world, spending time with Mercy, Adam and the rest of the pack.

Mercy continues to grow and show strength in subtle ways. I love how far she’s come throughout this series and I think loyal fans would also love how Briggs has stayed true to her character. You don’t want to miss out on SOUL TAKEN!
