Description: By day, Mercy is a car mechanic in the sprawling Tri-Cities of Eastern Washington. By night, she explores her preternatural side. As a shapeshifter with some unique talents, Mercy has often found herself having to maintain a tenuous harmony between the human and the not so human. This time she may get more than she bargained for. Marsilia, the local Vampire Queen, has learned that Mercy crossed her by slaying a member of her clan—and she's out for blood. But since Mercy is protected from direct reprisal by the werewolf pack (and her close relationship with its sexy Alpha), it won't be Mercy's blood Marsilia is after. It'll be her friends'.

I Give This Book 4 Stars!

This was everything I've come to expect and love of a Mercy Thompson book. I wasn't sure were the author would take the series after the events in the last book, but I wasn't disappointed. I loved the way Mercy handles herself after the traumatic events that occurred. I was afraid it would make her cold and harder her demeanor a little. I loved watching her relationship with Adam grow. And the vampires in this one are fantastic! I love vampires story that are more true to the myths of vampires. Their suppose to be scary! (Don't get me wrong I like a lot of the novels that romanticize them as well). This book actually made me rethink reading it late at night with all the lights off. It's a dramatic and fast passed book that will leave you wanting the next book!
