Wild Sign, by Patricia Briggs

4.0

This was an incredibly fun read and I definitely want to hear more from Leah now! She's such an interesting and intense character.

My only complaint and really the main reason that I gave this read 4 stars instead of 5 (minor spoilers ahead that done ruin the story)

Spoiler

was the fact that apparently every female werewolf has to have a traumatic rape filled existence. Every single female that matters in the Mercy Thompson universe seems to be recovering from or doomed to eventually be raped. Patricia Briggs handles the aftermath of it all better than most but at the same time it's starting to feel incredibly overdone. Brann does go out of his way to find and help the broken, so perhaps that's why, but it would be nice to experience a strong female character that hadn't been horribly abused. Women can be strong without being an assault victim first.
