I received Silence Fallen in return for review from the publisher.
Mercy is making cookies but is forced to run to the store for more chocolate chips which should be a routine trip. However, while leaving the store her SUV is hit and she's kidnapped by a strange vampire who wants more than he let's on. She finds herself in a strange country with a dangerous threat looming forced to risk it she flees into a strange countryside. All she has to do is find a safe place to hide till Adam and the crew can get to her but as it's Mercy it may be hard to do.

When his wife is kidnapped by strange vampires Adam will stop at nothing to bring her back. Even teaming up with the Vampire master of the city who happens to have a connection to the vampire who kidnapped Mercy. They will need to play their cards just right if they want to find her getting out of Milan won't be an easy task but they are willing to enter the lion's den for her. With friends at his back hopefully, Adam can keep his cool long enough to save Mercy who holds them all together.

I love Mercy so much!!! She's one of my favorite characters and has been since I read her first book Moon Called years ago. She's one of those characters who captures your heart and as she just keeps evolving through the books you love her more. She's got a special place in my heart, and will always be my favorite coyote. I love Adam he's a perfect partner for her because he really understands her in ways no one else would.

I've been eagerly waiting to get my hands on Silence Fallen and when I finally had the chance to dive right in it was hard to put down. I actually finished it in just 24 hours and would have been quicker if not for this cold. I love the world the author has created mixing the werewolves with the vampire and fae all living in the Tri-Cities it just works so well. Silence Fallen is an action-packed, whirlwind adventure, that pushes Mercy to accept her destiny a little more and Adam to play the game. The author has done another amazing job creating a captivating story that is hard to put down, capturing the heart as well as the imagination. I love all the twists and turns throughout the story. I highly recommend taking a chance on Mercy Thompson's books you won't be disappointed they just keep getting better with each book. I loved it so much!!!!

3 days and 2 nights, but only because I have two small children. Usually, I'd just stay up reading until I finished it all in one go! I love me some Mercy!

Another fun, quirky, well written Mercy book! I enjoy these so much. The male narrator took a little while for me to get used to, simply because it wasn’t the voice I had in my head for Adam. However, once I got into the story that didn’t matter and I enjoyed every minute of it. It’s so interesting to see how all the personalities and histories of all the characters continue to be flushed out and grown. I really liked the little bit of history with the Golem and really want to do some research.

I love and appreciate the cast of characters list. Makes such a difference with memory and attention problems as we wait between releases.

This was a solid entry in the Mercy Thompson series.

The cons: The sexism still bugs, and everyone is so cutely nerdy and sarcastic that it's almost twee. Also HATED the twist at the end.

The pros: Briggs took the story in some fun directions, I like seeing the gradual discovery of Mercy's destiny and powers. Also I always know a Mercy Thompson book is going to be a fun romp.

I love Mercy and her mismatched pack of friends and family. Fast-paced, well-written, and fun. Urban fantasy when it's at its best.

Silence Fallen had so much danger and suspense! It has been a while since I spent some time with Mercy, Adam and the rest, and I had missed them. Of course, I truly realized this while I was reading.
Part of the action here took place in Prague, and I loved that. I recognized some of the places Mercy saw, and I had the same reaction as her to the absinthe shop!
Well written, fast-paced, and with Mercy continuing to be awesome, I loved Silence Fallen so much.
