And when coyote shapeshifter Mercy and her Alpha werewolf mate, Adam, are called upon to stop a rampaging troll, they … stop a rampaging troll, they find themselves with something that could be used to make the fae back down and forestall out-and-out war: a human child stolen long ago by the fae.

This was not my favorite of Mercy’s adventures. I enjoyed it but for some reason it seemed to drag for me. I would still recommend reading it, enjoying it and adding it to your bookshelf.
I enjoyed everything about it.
I love the Mercy Thompson series!! Well basically everything Patricia Briggs writes!
Briggs is the best.
Great character development and great engaging plot.
I’ve read every Patricia Briggs book I could find!
So far all the Brigg’s books have been great reads!
A Patricia Briggs book is, for me, an Event. I will not miss reading it. Due to the vast numbers of books out there, plus the limitations imposed by a merely human lifespan, I sift out authors down to a short list of artists I prefer. Then I make sure never to miss a new book by them. Patricia Briggs is on my list.
Love this series
I enjoy this series, very strong female lead with an interesting back-story that gets dribbled out a little bit at a time in different books in the series.
An excellent addition to the stand alone novels in the series. I already have the next book.
Anything Patricia Riggs writes is 5 star
I am a Massive fan of Mercy and I have read All the Books to date. They are AMAZING and I am hoping that More will follow because I can’t imagine a World without more Mercy
C’mon!! Its freaking Patricia Briggs!! She’s an AMAZING writer and this series is beautifully written and well laid out. There are SO many different turns and the likable characters are likable and the villains are sometimes sad, and smart and tragically insane. But there are shape shifters, werewolves, vampires, fae, witches, demons and TONS of folklore from all over the world! And she brings it together so well you could actually imagine that it is happening somewhere in Washington!
And you know what they say about werewolves. They can see you better, hear you better, and… Well let’s keep this review PG.
READ THIS SERIES, you won’t be disappointed
Love this series and this wonderful author.
I love the Mercy Thompson Series but hate paying such an expensive price. Thank you BookBub for making it affordable!
Love all her books. Must read
Great reads. Very compelling. Good escape reading.
Even though I’m not the target audience (I’m a middle-aged male) I very much enjoy the Mercy Thompson novels. This was another good example of the genre.
Love, love love Mercy and the gang. Good story.
This was an excellent book for anyone who enjoy reading these types of books.
