  • Have Mercy!5

    Smash Attack In Mercy's world, the lesser fae have been forced out of hiding (and consequently placed in reservation-like areas) because of increasing advances in technology and forensic science. However, the greater fae and other supernatural beings (weres, vampires, witches, etc) have remain hidden from society's incredulous eyes. And, they'd like to keep it that way. In walks Mac, a teen werewolf that Mercy immediately senses is not part of the local pack. She gives the kid a job and looks into finding him refuge with the local weres. She has lived right behind the Alpha, Adam, for a number of years and has a good relationship with his family. Unfortunately, trouble is following Mac around, and Mercy finds herself knee-deep in a supernatural showdown!

    First, I must say that I absolutely love how Briggs came to name this novel. I really love creative names for books, and this one is so fantastic. It might not seem so out-of-the-blue because the book is about werewolves, after all, but once you read it, you'll understand. Or, maybe I'm just silly. Who cares.

    Secondly, I was shocked that Mercy isn't a werewolf! And while werewolves are a major part of the story, Mercy is something entirely different. I absolutely love the history about what she is. Awesomeness.

    Thirdly, Mercy is a character that you are immediately drawn to. She is so warm and engaging but she can take care of herself and isn't afraid to fight. She is loyal, compassionate, intelligent, hardheaded, independent and fierce! I absolutely love the relationship she has with the Alpha's daughter, Jesse. It warms my heart!

    Fourthly, Briggs' is a fantastic writer. Seriously. She can keep you in suspense and draw out a conspiracy theory that will keep you guessing until the very end. She also develops characters very well, and I honestly really like a ton of the secondary characters in this series! Oh, and then there is the oh-so-obvious-but-not-written-obvious love triangle. Wonder what happens there...

    Fifthly, more Adam, please! And Madea.

    Favorite quotes:

    "MS. THOMPSON, it said in heavy block letters, PLEASE KEEP YOUR FELINE OFF MY PROPERTY. IF I SEE IT AGAIN, I WILL EAT IT."

    "Drink it," I told her. "It's good for what ails you. Caffeine and sugar. I don't drink it, so I ran over to your house and stole the expensive stuff in your freezer. It shouldn't be that bad. Samuel told me to make it strong and pour sugar into it. It should taste sort of like bitter syrup." She gave me a smile smile, then a bigger one, and plugged her nose before she drank it down in one gulp. "Next time, "she said in a hoarse voice, "I make the coffee."

    "Mercy," he mumbled. "What the hell did you do to my French Roast." by Smash Attack

    masterpiece start to a wonderful series5

    Cherry Masterpiece story telling quality which makes this book stand out in a congested genre! Character development is superb, giving us not just characters but friends to sympathize and empathize with. World building is believable. Seemlessly blending paranormal with modern society. Love Patricia Briggs! by Cherry

    Cindy Bacon Moon Called is the first book the Mercy Thompson series and presents us a world of shape shifters, feys, vampires and likes.

    Mercedes "Mercy" Thompson doesn't really fit in any category: she's a walker. Walkers are an almost disappeared species originating in north America along with the natives. They were known to hunt vampires when they first came in America, and vampires would return the favor. Mercy shape-shift into a coyote and isn't controlled by the moon. She was raised by a foster family in a werewolf community and her difference didn't make it easy.

    She's now a mechanic specializing in German vehicles, owns the garage and is happy to mind her own business. Life is about to get spicier when a young werewolf shows up on her door steps looking for a job.

    The world is very well built, lesser feys came out of the closest due to science progress, but superior feys, witches, vampires and werewolves are still hidden. They live in a very structured system: Wolves lives in packs ruled by the strongest Alpha, Vampires runs the economy taxing other supernatural beings and Witches gets their profit magically hiding all these activities. The balance is at stake tho with increasing advances in technology and forensic investigations and trouble is around the corner.

    Briggs' suspense and conspiracies are very well written and we are left hanging until the very end.
    Really liked Mercy with her strength and struggles, the males in the story are great to, gotta expect some macho and testosterone filled discussions among them. I am ordering the following books for sure. by Cindy Bacon
