5.0

This book contains the first three books of the Mercy Thompson series. There are many content warning for this book, some parts were challenging to read, but it never felt like it was too much (for me). I  highly recommend this book/trilogy because the darkness and violence is balanced with mystery, interesting characters, friendship,  and the romance. My favorite aspect of the book is how self aware the characters are, and how they communicate effectively with one another. This is definitely an adult read.
