*The one thing I wish this book had was a content warning.* Mercy is fantastic, as ever. Briggs handles sensitive issues fairly well. While none of us can hope to handle or manage trauma/abuse situations exactly right in a way that seems progressive or reasonable for all readers, Briggs incorporates some truly wonderful aspects of healing, support structures/teams, and love. I first read this as a teenager, and re-reading it as an adult, I find that it has aged pretty well.

So glad I read this on my Kindle. If I had to look at the cover while buying, I might have thrown something.

"When her former boss and mentor is arrested for murder and left to rot behind bars by his own kind, it's up to shapeshifting car mechanic Mercy Thompson to clear his name, whether he wants her to or not. And she'll have to choose between the two werewolves in her life-whether she wants to or not." (From Amazon)
As we get further in the series the characters and plot keep getting better. And as bad things happen the suspense in the stories get more intense.

Whewww this series is honestly getting better and better. When I tell you I balled at the end of this book, I mean it. I am slowly falling in love with Mercy and I am so happy because I almost gave up on finishing this book.
I was also in fact right with Adam being my choice and the right one of course. I am proud of myself for that.

My least favourite of the three I've read so far. Still enjoyed it but I just don't think it was as well executed as the first two.

Loved it! I'm completely in love with the world that she's writing about! I couldn't ask for better characters or a more interesting read.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

And here I am again. Peak urban fantasy. I just love this so much.

This is a true rarity - a series that gets better as it goes on. I enjoyed this book more than the previous two. The characters are complex and Briggs' version of the supernatural world is very complete and far more believable than most other fantasy novels I've read (yes, Charlaine Harris, I'm looking at you).
