Book Description:
In the #1 New York Times bestselling Mercy Thompson novels, the coyote shapeshifter has found her voice in the werewolf pack. But when Mercy's bond with the pack and her mate is broken, she'll learn what it truly means to be alone...
Attacked and abducted in her home territory, Mercy finds herself in the clutches of the most powerful vampire in the world, taken as a weapon to use against alpha werewolf Adam and the ruler of the Tri-Cities vampires. In coyote form, Mercy escapes only to find herself without money, without clothing, and alone in the heart of Europe...
Unable to contact Adam and the rest of the pack, Mercy has allies to find and enemies to fight, and she needs to figure out which is which. Ancient powers stir, and Mercy must be her agile best to avoid causing a war between vampires and werewolves, and between werewolves and werewolves. And in the heart of the ancient city of Prague, old ghosts rise...
I've loved this series from the very beginning and it seems that it just gets better and better. With this latest installment told in multiple point of views of both Mercy, Adam and a certain Mr. Smith, Ms. Briggs really shook things up and breathed fresh life into a series that was already full of it.
I think this might very well be a new favorite for me. I adored the different point of views and the dynamic of the characters and while I wish Mercy and Adam would have been together more because I adore them working as a team and as a couple, it was kind of fun to see them still working together but far apart from one another. Plus, hello, Europe people! As Mercy travels all over, it was fun to see the different packs and covens and how they worked in other countries. And even better we still get all the favorite characters from past books and even meet a few new ones that I truly hope we will be seeing more of in future installments.
This truly is a series that just gets better and one that I can't wait to pick up and read each time a new one comes out.

DeleteI still haven’t started Mercy Thompson series. I’m a little bit intimidated by the amount of installments. It’s a high praise to the series that you rate 10th book 5 Stars. I hope I’ll be able to pick up the first book this year.
ReplyDeleteTrust me they are worth the time and they really are fast reads.
DeleteOh new fave? Sweet! I'm so behind on this series but I cannot wait to catch up. So glad you enjoyed this one and I'm really looking forward to reading it. Love Mercy and the crew.
ReplyDeleteMe too, they really are great and so lovable.
DeleteMatt Smith just made me smile..and Adam..loved it!
ReplyDeleteYes!!!
DeleteIt's great when a later book in the series becomes a favorite! It shows the author is still writing good novels.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
DeleteSo determined to catch up to this series! I think I'm going to give in and download the audiobooks. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThey are worth it and I don't think you will be disappointed. ;)
DeleteYou are going to love Alpha and Omega! Charles is fantastic. ;)
ReplyDeleteDoes it count that I own the first two books? I want to find time to read it, I just forget and pick up whatever I see first on my Kindle that looks good. I am going to try to remember soon as I get some free time :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you do Lorna because these really are right up your genre alley. ;)
DeleteAnother series that I really need to start. It seems that everyone consistently loves this one!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a good one and doesn't seem to get old at all. ;)
DeleteThis story was so much fun. I loved the different POVs. That twist at the end was great. After I read it, I don't know how I didn't notice it before. So much came clear.
ReplyDeleteMelanie @ Hot Listens & Rabid Reads
Yes! I know what you mean, I actually had to go back and read parts with him in it because I couldn't believe I didn't catch it at all. It was fun. ;)
DeleteThis sounds really good with the Europe angle and seeing things from that perspective. And for the series to still be going strong... I just finished book one recently so I'm looking forward to learning more about these characters. :)
ReplyDeleteI really hope you love the rest of them as well. :D
DeleteThe overlapping and sometimes flash forward style is really impressive. It took me a while to get acclimated but it's a great way for Briggs to showcase her writing skills
ReplyDeleteI agree and it was a nice change of pace.
DeleteI'm reading this rn and I love the switched PoVs and new territory that this book explores! It's sooo good and I'm glad it's a new favorite for you! I can't wait to finish it up soon!
ReplyDeleteYay! So glad you are loving it so far. It was different but once you got into it it was so good!
DeleteI have to say, I really love it when you and Kimba review the same book on the same day. It feels like fate :)
ReplyDeleteIt is kind of funny when that happens. ;)
DeleteEveryone is loving this one and I cannot wait to get caught up. I'm so far behind but I do love this series!
ReplyDeleteI was a few books behind as well but I caught up quickly, thankfully they are pretty fast reads.
DeleteMT is a great series. I have fallen behind on the series, the last one I read was River Marked. I've got the rest all on hold and I'm waiting for my library to get the latest book in so I can add that to my hold list too. I need to know what Mercy's been up to.
ReplyDeleteOoo I loved River Marked! I think you will love the next ones too!
DeleteArg! I wish I was loving this one like everyone else. I think I was in the wrong mood but I've been reading for like 6 days now and only half way through :( Not hating it but so easy for me to put down. I think maybe I need to and then pick it back up when I'm in a para mood.
ReplyDeleteI've had to do that with other series before as well. Nothing wrong with putting it down and going back to it. ;)
DeleteBook 10????? 10!!! I cannot seem to get one read lately, let alone 10 in a series...WOW. Great review though :)
ReplyDeleteLOL thanks Becca!
DeleteWow 5 starts. Awesome review. This book has been on my list. I can't wait to start reading it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. :-D
I've been meaning to check out this series for so long! My coblogger loves it. You know it's a great series when it gets better and better each Book! Great review!
ReplyDeleteSo very true! ;)
DeleteIt's been awhile since you posted, mydear. Hope the remodeling is going well. I need to catch up with this series. I'm still on the 3rd, I think.
ReplyDeleteI know it's been crazy! Hopefully just another week of madness and we should be about done.
DeleteI've heard amazing things about this series, but still haven't read it yet even though I have the first 4 books sitting on my shelf. I need more reading time. lol
ReplyDeleteSimply Angela
I think we all could use a little more time just for reading. ;)
DeleteI totally agree! This series just gets better and better. One of my all time favorites. I loved having more of Adam's POV in this one, but I wished they had more together time as you mentioned. Europe and Prague were a nice change of scenery! Wonderful review! :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely but it did work too and of course the change in scenery was very nice. So happy you are a fan of the series as well!
