I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys urban fantasy novels. She does a great job describing the personalities of these characters to the point that you feel the story as you read it. It's well written and has suspense, romance, mystery, humor and many other characteristics that make it a good read. I've enjoyed this book along with the rest of the series. She does seem to squeak out of some situations that the author has described as 99% fatal, but the books's good parts vastly outweigh the bad. Love how Mercy is not invinceable, especially in her own mind. Love the writing, the characters, the pacing.
Small quibbles, but annoying nonetheless. Publishers trying to squeeze more money out with quantity? Out of time on publishing deadlines? Whatever the cause, could we please get to a decent length of story? 300 pages is a snack, and not a very filling one. We're starting to approach novella territory with this series while most other series I've read are doing the opposite. Length of novel: Not that I want to come off as a size queen, but I'm feeling a bit cheated by the paltry page count. Now to my quibbles.Ĭover Art: yes, it's a trivial detail, but have you noticed that Mercy's tattoos change radically from book to book? Werewolves, Vamps, Shifters, Fae, all those I'll accept easily. Let me start by saying that I very much enjoyed reading the first four books in this series and would strongly recommend them to anyone who likes this genre. and fairley fast.Įxcellent series with a couple of quibbles Great book like the ones that came before this one. you build it up in the world-tease me with the possibility consistently throughout the story-and then completely leave me hangin' when the moment arrives? I say to that, "Well, I've got better things to do." I MIGHT read the next installment, if I'm really bored and it's really discounted. Why? Well, I don't prefer constant and complete smut in my fantasy novels but. My question now: Seriously? This series has been -at best-okay. "Read the Mercy Thompson series! So good!" was more or less the consensus. After all, not long ago, they referred me to Ilona Andrews and her Magic series, which I really liked (several books in). I check the communities for something to fill the void. It is the GOLD standard for all others as far as I'm concerned. So.I'm mourning the end of the latest installment of my beloved Jeanine Frost Night Huntress series.
This time she may get more than she bargained for.
As a shape-shifter with some unusual talents, Mercy's found herself maintaining a tenuous harmony between the human and the not-so- human on more than one occasion. By night, she explores her preternatural side. By day, Mercy Thompson is a car mechanic in Eastern Washington. In a world where "witches, vampires, werewolves, and shape-shifters live beside ordinary people" ( Booklist), it takes a very unusual woman to call it home. New in the #1 New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series.
