About this book
Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, must face her greatest fears in this chilling entry in the 1 New York Times bestselling series.
The vampire Wulfe is missing. Since he’s deadly, possibly insane, and his current idea of “fun” is stalking me, some may see it as no great loss. But, warned that his disappearance might bring down the carefully constructed alliances that keep our pack safe, my mate and I must find Wulfe—and hope he’s still alive. As alive as a vampire can be, anyway.
But Wulfe isn’t the only one who has disappeared. And now there are bodies, too. Has the Harvester returned to the Tri-Cities, reaping souls with his cursed sickle? Or is he just a character from a B horror movie and our enemy is someone else?
The farther I follow Wulfe’s trail, the more twisted—and darker—the path becomes. I need to figure out what’s going on before the next body on the ground is mine.

Of the 13 that are out so far, this is one of my favorites. It's funny, the character development is good, Adam is getting the hang of treating Mercy as an independent being instead of someone that needs to be bubble wrapped, the POV chapters are fun, and Tad is definitely starting to take after his father in every way and adding a lot of humor to his character. It's just a good book in general. I'll admit that it's probably not the most action-packed compared to the others; it has more of a...

I absolutely loved this story! It easily jumped to my top 5 favorites of the Mercy series. An evil artifact (sickle not scythe, please) is using a host to kill marginally magical people. There's a new movie about it. Tilly really wants it. Zee really wants it. Larry really doesn't want Zee to have it. And the Pack has internal issues to deal with and so didn't need this mess also! The main reason I enjoyed this so much is because Mercy has more agency. She has always been an independent...
