Mercy (short for Mercedes) Thompson
is a mechanic, who earns a good living fixing German make cars in her garage in
the Tri-Cites. She lives in a world where the lesser fae have been
‘outed’ and now live in government reservations, werewolves and vampires exist
but have managed to keep their existence secret, along with a few other strange
creatures that are still firmly in the closet.
Whilst she is working in her garage
a young drifter turns up looking for casual work and feeling sorry for him,
Mercy gives him a job. She can tell he is in some sort of trouble and
apart from everything else she can tell that he is also a werewolf.
Mercy knows a lot about werewolves,
she was raised by a werewolf family, her first love was a werewolf and her
current next door neighbour is a werewolf. Yes, Mercy certainly knows
werewolves! She isn’t a werewolf herself, though she was born a ‘walker’,
a Native American supernatural shape shifter who can change into a coyote at
will.
Determined to help her new friend
she introduces him to her next door neighbour Adam, who is also the alpha of
the local werewolf pack. From there events soon spiral out of control
with Mercy caught in the middle. She is soon forced to return to her
childhood home and seek the assistance of the Marrok, leader of all the
werewolf packs of America. It is soon apparent that there is a plot
against the Marrok but without much of an idea who is behind it Mercy turns to
the vampires for help….
REVIEW:
What can I say about Moon Called, well it's a great start for the series
and I like how you jump in on Mercy's life and not be confused. The book is
beautifully written and I felt like I really was there. The way that Patricia
Briggs discribes a wolf pack, and the way she let's you see everything from
Mercy's point of view is just phenominal. Next to my love for P.C Cast's books
this is absolutely my favorite series. It's fast paced, exciting and the
romance is just on the side, the adventure in these books are the main focus. If you're into urban fantasy books and you
haven't read the mercy thompson series yet, you have some serious work to do,
what are you waiting for, pick them up. I've read all the books and I can't wait till
"frost burned" comes out. It's refreshing and funny and has a very,
very kick ass heroin, which I love. Mercy is independent . strong willed and she just
has a way of making you love her.
I gave this book 5 roses
