Patricia Briggs is back with another Mercy Thompson novel set in the Tri-Cities of Washington. However, this time Mercy and Adam are taken out of their familiar streets and are placed with strangers in the winter wilderness. How will the both of them survive the cold let alone the mystery and ancient magic that awaits them?

As with all of Briggs’ books, things start off slow and then build to a fever pitch. I enjoyed the winter theme of this book since it’s not something that we often see in this world. However, there is nothing frozen about the worldbuilding in this series. Even though there are so many books in the series already, the world keeps evolving and changing, creating more havoc and trouble for the characters. There’s never a dull moment in this series.

It’s so easy to get lost in a book when it’s penned by Patricia Briggs and WINTER LOST is no exception. Get ready to cozy up and stay the whole night up reading as you immerse yourself in Mercy Thompson’s world again.

SUMMARY

Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, must stop a disaster of world-shattering proportions in this exhilarating entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

In the supernatural realms, there are creatures who belong to winter. I am not one of them. But like the coyote I can become at will, I am adaptable.

My name is Mercy Thompson Hauptman, and my mate, Adam, is the werewolf who leads the Columbia Basin Pack, the pack charged with keeping the people who live and work in the Tri-Cities of Washington State safe. It’s a hard job, and it doesn’t leave much room for side quests. Which is why when I needed to travel to Montana to help my brother, I intended to go by myself.

But I’m not alone anymore.

Together, Adam and I find ourselves trapped with strangers in a lodge in the heart of the wilderness, in the teeth of a storm of legendary power, only to discover my brother’s issues are a tiny part of a problem much bigger than we could have imagined. Arcane and ancient magics are at work that could, unless we are very careful, bring about the end of the world. . .
