Synopsis

The second novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

A demon-riding vampire has gone on a killing spree unlike any the Tri- Cities has ever seen-and the undead and werewolves sent to stop him haven't returned. A coyote is no match for a demon, but shapeshifting mechanic Mercy Thompson is immune to many vampiric powers-and those are her friends who are missing, including the two werewolves circling around her heart. Game on...

About Patricia Briggs

Montana born author, Patricia Briggs, has worked her way into a very successful author of fantasy novels. She chose to live mostly in the Pacific Northwest which is not typically the hotbed of authors, but she has managed to live a quieter life and still become a New York Times bestselling author. Her most famous series, Mercy Thompson and the Columbia Basin Pack, we're fictional residents of the area in which she resides, the Tri-Cities Washington.

From 1990 on, Briggs has published 17 novels beginning with traditional fantasy, then in 2006 moving to urban fantasy. A unique mark of her novels is that even in a series, each novel can serve as a stand-alone story without leaving the reader to wonder what happens next.

Briggs also writes the Alpha and Omega series, and they are set in the same environment as the Mercy Thomas series. The most recent of that series debuted in 2012, and came in at #4 on the NYT bestsellers list.

Briggs still lives in Washington state with her husband and children. They have a small herd of horses that they enjoy.

This is a solid sequel and actually elaborates some more on the world that Mercy inhabits, which I enjoyed. Also, the book just barely avoids the cliched love harem that most contemporary fantasies with strong female heroines invariably end up with. The relationships that develops grow tenser and are complex enough to be interesting enough to avoid the cardboard cut-out situations that most books in the same genre use. I'd read the third book once it comes out.

This is a nice follow up to Moon Called. We get to experience more of the characters that were introduced in the first book and learn more about not only Mercy but also Adam, Stefan, Zee, as well as many others. Not only do we learn more about these fascinating characters but we also learn more about the complex world and infrastructure of the pack and the vampire seethe. It is a hard book to put down and I am eagerly looking forward to the third book in this installment.

Goodreads review by Tadiana ✩Night Owl☽ on April 17, 2020

Review first posted on Fantasy Literature: Owing a favor to a vampire is pretty much always going to be asking for trouble. Stefan, a vampire who’s been a help and even a friend to Mercy Thompson, calls her at three a.m. to go witness his confrontation with a new vampire in town. But Stefan gives Me......more

Goodreads review by Jessica's on January 14, 2022

I liked book 2. It was fasted and had more action and plot than book one, but I got to be honest I don't really like the paranormal world that Patricia Briggs is building. I can't stand the vampires. Their rules, laws, the way they feed, how they change people, the way they act.... all of it I don't......more

Goodreads review by Maria on March 19, 2016

I couldn't resist - I wanted to wait and leave more time between books in this series, but after reading the first book, I'm hooked and it's going to be difficult not to binge read these all! My only complaint (view spoiler)[She BETTER NOT hook up with Samuel and it looked like she was leaning that way - I'm team A (hide spoiler)]......more
