Preying For Mercy by Patricia Briggs

4.0

I think this is the first time ever I checked a book out of the library with a half-dressed woman on the front. :p A friend recommended this as a complete escape novel, which is exactly what I was looking for. I decided to give it a try, despite the cover, and was immediately hooked. Don't let the cover fool you, this book is an adventure, not a romance, and it's not trashy. There are romantic elements but we don't have to read any play-by-plays! There was some mild language, and of course, the whole premise of the book hinges on there being magical creatures still on the earth. But, it was an adventure & a mystery from about page 3. If you are looking for an escape, for pure "brain candy" with no redeeming qualities except that it will keep you up all night reading, then give this one a try!
