Séria o Mercy patrí k mojim obľúbeným a rada sa k čítaniu jednotlivých kníh vraciam. Dokonca opakovane. Tento komiks som teda logicky chcela čítať, ale až doteraz sa mi nepodarilo dostať sa k nemu. Takže keď som naň náhodne narazila, využila som možnosť prečítať si komiks online.
Príbeh ako taký ma veľmi bavil, hoci bol pomerne priehľadný už od začiatku. Jesse je úžasná postava a som rada, že som ju mohla spoznať aj cez jej vlastné oči a nie vďaka tomu, ako ju vidí Mercy. Dej ma bavil, grafika bola úžasná a je mi ľúto, že táto séria nemá viac komiksových dovetkov. Veľmi by som ich uvítala.

This was a fun story. And I liked the art better in this graphic novel than in that [b:Homecoming|5582295|Mercy Thompson Homecoming|Patricia Briggs|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1440212769s/5582295.jpg|5753516] one. Adam and Mercy both looked closer to how I see them. Zee's look, though... This was not how I imagine him without his glamour.
But apart from Zee and a few other things (like Darryl's human form looking white *grrr*), this was a really good story. In it, Mercy, Adam, and the pack find some buried bodies; and Jesse meets the new girl at school.

I am a little dissatisfied about that resolution. It seemed too easy. Is this I'm doubtful, but I'm also not very hopeful about learning more. This book seems pretty open-and-shut.

I liked the reread as part of my complete Briggs read, because it put Jesse in context with her relationship with Mercy and Adam, but we see more of it from her point of view. Also evil fae.

This graphic novel is set between books and features Mercy’s stepdaughter Jesse. The focus of the story is the pack finding skeletal remains in a field and Jesse meeting a new girl at school. While Mercy and Adam help the police find more bodies in the ground, Jesse is bringing the new girl, Jill up to speed on school and why certain cliques don’t like Jesse. While the investigation goes on kids from Jesse’s school start to disappear and fingers are pointing at her because her dad is a werewolf. Mercy finds a Fae connection to the bodies and is now on the hunt for a Fae killer that can look like anyone.
The story wraps up quite quickly and has the bonus of not requiring the reader to have read all the other books in the series in order to enjoy this one.
