Patricia Briggs: River Marked.


This arrived while I was reading Georgette Heyer and whenever a new Briggs arrives it's a struggle not to ditch the book I'm reading and grab it. I did manage to wait, but the Heyer was barely cooling down from me clutching it for the last chapter before I was racing through the latest Mercy Thompson adventure. You know all about Mercy. (VW mechanic and coyote shapechanger; raised by werewolves and now the mate of Adam, alpha werewolf of the local pack. If not start at 'Moon Called' and keep going. I order it immediately. You will not be sorry.)

So this time Mercy and Adam are on the point of getting married – at last – and instead of a posh honeymoon, Adam borrows a flashy trailer from a local fae and takes Mercy camping, in style. Trouble follows. This is Mercy we're talking about. This time it's a series of deaths on the Columbia River and something strange that even the fae are concerned about. Mercy has to confront a past more strange than she expected and a heritage she never suspected she had, while settling into her new marriage and relationship with not only Adam, but (as his mate) the whole pack.

A good read. Highly recommended.
