This is book 9 in the Mercy Thompson series, a series which features coyote shifter Mercedes (the Volkswagen mechanic) and her adventures being the lone coyote in werewolf territory. There is also a side series, Alpha & Omega, which has 4.5 books. There is some argument as to whether or not you really need to read Alpha & Omega to get the series as a whole (I say that you do), but whichever side of that argument you fall on, one thing is certain, you just can't start here. Seriously, go and...

I really loved this book. That is surprising to me when I'm this far into a series. A lot of authors are winding down after 8 or 9 books but I feel like this series is still going strong. I bought this book a few days ago and was hesitant to actually start it. The reason being, I knew as soon as I started I wouldn't want to put it down. That proved true. I love the characters in this series. I always miss the ones that aren't included. In this book there are a lot of characters that felt pushed...

I love Mercy and a I really did like the book. But a lot of the story was sort of a delayed response to the past books. Some of the pack doesn't respect her because shes a Coyote- STILL? REALLY?

Decorate?) not is not a character it's a convenient caricature. ANY dominant Wolf would have long taken a...

Every time Patricia Briggs is releasing a book it feels like Christmas all over again. I know that I’m going to be in for a good read and I start planning to free up enough time to read the whole book within an eight-hour time span. Fire Touch did not disappoint! It was classic Mercy Thompson wit. You get to read about Adam, the Pack and the rest of the supporting characters. I loved the whole book. It was layered with multiple events within the story. And of course I finished the book within 6...

I, often, think that it’s harder to review a book in a favorite series, or by a favorite author, than almost any other review I write. Not only am I comparing that book to everything else I’ve ever read, but I’m comparing it to the best that this author, this series, has ever given me. Then there’s the fact that because I have twelve full-length novels in my history from this series, I have a bit more love for it than most books. I’ve given this series not only a huge investment in time, but a...
