Mercy Thompson returns in the seventh novel in the number-one New York Times best-selling series.
Mercy Thompson's life has undergone a seismic change. Becoming the mate of Adam Hauptman—the charismatic Alpha of the local werewolf pack—has made her a stepmother to his daughter, Jesse, a relationship that brings moments of blissful normalcy to Mercy's life. But on the edges of humanity, what passes for a minor mishap on an ordinary day can turn into so much more....
After an accident in bumper-to-bumper traffic, Mercy and Jesse can't reach Adam—or anyone else in the pack for that matter. They've all been abducted.
Through their mating bond, all Mercy knows is that Adam is angry and in pain. With the werewolves fighting a political battle to gain acceptance from the public, Mercy fears Adam's disappearance may be related—and that he and the pack are in serious danger. Outclassed and on her own, Mercy may be forced to seek assistance from any ally she can get, no matter how unlikely.

Patricia Briggs can write the most down to earth, loveable and yet fascinating characters and put them into stories that begin with the most innocuous scenes, but then bam!!! It leaps into a ferocious do or die story where the heroines and heroes are so tested in action and emotion. Frost Burned is the seventh book in an Urban Fantasy series that must be read in order. My review does contain some series spoilers for those who haven't read the first six so keep that in mind if you choose to...

Well, if the review title didn't make it clear - I really do LOVE these books and highly recommend them! This author is very EASY TO READ - by that I mean that you don't have to dredge through too much info (some authors get crazy in the little details and descriptions) and though it is not \"dumbed down\" there aren't any times you don't feel as fully up-to-speed as the characters, the story seems to flow quickly like a good movie. HOLDS YOUR INTEREST ALL THE WAY. :-) ** It should be noted...

It’s been over ten years since I last read the Mercy Thompson series, so naturally, I decided a re-read was in order. I’m so glad I did; it reminded me just how much I love this world and these characters. Frost Burned is the seventh installment in the series, following Mercy, a coyote shifter, and her husband Adam, the local werewolf Alpha, as they navigate their new mate bond while dealing with the usual highs and lows of supernatural politics. The story kicks off with a bang when Mercy and...

***I have refrained from adding any spoilers to this review*** I love to read series, and the Mercy Thompson books are one of the best paranormal series out there. Patricia Briggs doesn’t disappoint with her new installment featuring our favorite coyote shifter. Briggs is an excellent writer, and her fast paced story, filled with danger and action, pulls you in from the very beginning. It feels like I have been waiting for the release of this book forever! I read Frost Burned in two days, and...

I actually thought that River Marked was the last book in the series, so when I found about this one, I was thrilled. I adore everything about the these books! The Good What's funny about Mercy is that in the beginning of the series, she knew werewolf decorum, but didn't follow it much at all because she's took stubborn to be considered a lowly coyote. Now that she's the Alpha's Mate, she quotes the \"rule book\" like she wrote it. Not necessarily to suit her, but because these are her wolves...
