In this powerful entry in the 1 New York Times bestselling series, Mercy Thompson must face a deadly enemy to defend all she loves…
My name is Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman, and I am a car mechanic.
And a coyote shapeshifter.
And the mate of the Alpha of the Columbia Basin werewolf pack.
Even so, none of that would have gotten me into trouble if, a few months ago, I hadn’t stood upon a bridge and taken responsibility for the safety of the citizens who lived in our territory. It seemed like the thing to do at the time. It should have only involved hunting down killer goblins, zombie goats, and an occasional troll. Instead, our home was viewed as neutral ground, a place where humans would feel safe to come and treat with the fae.
The reality is that nothing and no one is safe. As generals and politicians face off with the Gray Lords of the fae, a storm is coming and her name is Death.
But we are pack, and we have given our word.
We will die to keep it.

\"Storm Cursed\" is the 11th book in the Mercy Thompson series (not counting the \"Alpha and Omega\" series which is also connected, and consists of one novella and five full-length novels that even further flesh-out the world; there is also \"Shifting Shadows,\" a collection of short stories in the same universe). So by this point, Patricia Briggs has a lot of existing plot threads and established worldbuilding to work with when crafting a new entry in her series. While episodic for the most...

Witches, Fae, and Zombies, oh my! Mercy and her friends are confronted by caldron roiling with trouble and I was riveted from cover to cover to discover how they were going to handle this latest dangerous problem. Storm Cursed is the eleventh book in the fabulous Mercy Thompson urban fantasy series where all things that go bump in the night are part of a marvelous series-long adventure that must be taken in order. It's been some months since Mercy returned from her fateful adventure to Europe...

I just have one question. What did Coyote mean at the end of Storm Cursed? Arg, I wish I understood him. He's such a mystery. He's powerful, a trickster, very smart and he loves his daughter, Mercy, even though he has a weird way of showing it. The Mercyverse is one of my favorite places to go back to. I adore Mercy and Adam. After this many years, Patricia Briggs has demonstrated that a couple can be together and still attract readers without the need for an unnecessary love triangle. To this...

After Mercy stood on a bridge and declared the citizens of her territory safe from others, she and her pack have been seriously busy. Called out to take care of some miniature goat zombies (or was it goat mini zombies?) she stumbles onto the fact that her territory is under siege by a coven of witches. The timing could have been better, after all, Adam and the pack are helping the government negotiate a meeting with the Gray Lords (fae) that will hopefully end in peace. Mercy again finds...

Good thing Mercy has so many friends ready to help her out! Lots going on in this one. Adam is busy providing security during negotiations between the U.S. Government and the fay so Mercy must take the initiative to find the witches who have brought their black craft into the tri-county area and are leaving a trail of dead bodies and zombie animals wondering about. This installment is much darker than previous books in the series due to the dark magic, the torture involved, and the high body...
