jaceyLife is never dull when VW mechanic and coyote shapechanger Mercy Thompson's around. Now Mercy Thompson-Hauptman after marrying the Alpha of the Tri-Cities werewolf pack, she is still not getting her happy-ever-after, though by and large it's not her fault. This time Adam's ex-wife, Christy, comes back on the scene, fleeing for her life from an ex-boyfriend turmned stalker who [spoiler] turns out to be not only supernatural but also almost invincible.
The invincible enemy, however, is not Mercy's real problem. Adam's ex is a real piece of work who undermines Mercy's position in the pack at every available opportunity and plainly wants Adam back. And as if that wasn't enough the son of Lugh wants his magic walking stick back, but Mercy gave it to Coyote who, as usual, is proving elusive and trickster-ish.
Oh yeah, and Mercy's got a brother, kinda, sorta...
Another great outing in Patricia Briggs' excellent werewolf series. Urban fantasy at its best with not only werewolves but coyote shape-changers, vampires, fae and... that stalker. I just dropped everything to read this as soon as it arrived and I was not disappointed.
