A Frost Filled Christmas (Ribbon Series)
Amanda K
by Patricia Briggs
Mercy Thompson returns in a pulse-pounding urban fantasy installment that tests the limits of pack loyalty and personal resilience. When Adam’s ex-wife, Christy, arrives at their doorstep seeking sanctuary from a mysterious stalker, Mercy is forced to navigate the treacherous waters of second-chance dynamics and domestic tension. While Christy’s manipulative schemes aim to dismantle Mercy’s place within the pack, the true nightmare lurks just outside the perimeter.
This entry in the beloved series masterfully blends high-stakes action with the intricate found-family bonds that define the genre. As the bodies mount, Mercy realizes that the predator hunting Christy is far more dangerous than any ordinary human. She must set aside her jealousy and insecurities to protect the man she loves, even as the walls of the pack house begin to close in.
If you crave a paranormal romance that balances visceral shifter warfare with complex emotional stakes, this story delivers on every front. It is a gripping exploration of trust, growth, and the fierce protective instincts of a woman who refuses to be sidelined. Prepare for a relentless mystery where the most lethal threats are often the ones hiding in plain sight.

Fantastic! So I just finished Night Broken, and I already say how fantastic I find the book, and yes I love this serie and this world so much I'm going to reread the book! LOL Mercy was the first character if I remember well I started reading in this category fantasy \"bit-lit\" we called in french. Before I was reading mostly fantasy, pure and hard fantasy. So this serie and those characters have a special place in my heart. And I remember the weekend I bought the first book \"called moon\", I...

My Initial Reaction... Night Broken may be my favorite Mercy Thompson book to date! After feeling lukewarm about the last one, I loved every second of the action, mystery, and the dynamic between Adam, Mercy, and the pack. Note: Expect series spoilers - we're too far along to avoid them, sorry! The Characters... One of the things that felt off to me in the last book was Adam and Mercy's relationship. It just was just so easy that it didn't have the spark. Well, the spark was definitely back for...

THE GOOD; I really have to say I did in fact love this book but I couldn't give it a 5 star with a good conscience especially if I was comparing it to other books in this series. To start off I am a huge fan of Patricia Briggs, and the Mercy series ESPECIALLY. Her last book and it's ending really left you hanging and personally I was counting down the days till this one was released. I did NOT want to put it down at all! The characters were as spectacular as always and I loved the way Honey and...

I preordered this book several months ago, as I do all of Patricia Briggs's books, but it was only yesterday that I was finally able to get to it. As soon as I started reading, I wasn't able to put it down! I ended up reading it in one day. :) Yes, it was THAT good! Perhaps I am misremembering some of the earlier books, but the plot in Night Broken felt particularly tight. The main plot brings Christy, Adam's ex-wife, back into the pack's life when she has a disturbing experience with a...

I'll start by saying I adore Mercy Thompson Hauptmann! She's a true heroine, real with faults but loyal and confident. Her relationship with her husband Adam is more than romantic: it's a partnership with bonds so deep you can feel them. So, yeah, I pretty much love all the Mercy Thompson books, and this is another outstanding addition. This time around, Mercy faces what may be her strongest foe yet: Adam's ex-wife, Christy, who has slept with a man who is now stalking her big time. Christy is...
