Publisher's Summary

Like most people who own their own business, I work long hours that start early in the morning. So when someone calls me in the middle of the night, they'd better be dying....

Mechanic Mercy Thompson is woken at 3:00 a.m. by a vampire calling in a favour. He has to deliver a message to a fellow undead and needs a witness who won't be noticed - and Mercy's shapeshifting abilities make her the perfect candidate.

But the assignment turns into a bloodbath, and Mercy attracts the attention of not just a powerful vampire but the even more powerful demon possessing him. She can count on the supernatural community for protection - and alpha werewolf Adam would like her to rely on him in other ways too - but when it comes to being proactive, she's on her own.

Critic Reviews

"Plenty of twists and turns.... Kept me entertained from its deceptively innocent beginning to its can't -put-it-down end." (Kim Harrison, best-selling author of Dead Witch Walking)

***Have Mercy***

This series is the bomb, it doesn't have much frills or explosion but what it does have is grit and contents. It has passion, intensity and brilliance. Mercy Thompson is addictive she doesn't have much kick ass power or magic but she is strong, fair and compassionate character. Lorelei King is brilliant as always thanks.

audio skips

there are multiple sections where the audio skips and segments of the story are missing. one of them is a largish/important segment too which is really frustrating.

A series you’ll want to re-read

I absolutely love this series, great writing and excellent narration. A realistic FMC, great relationship dynamics. The story develops from book to book.

Beware Mercy has teeth, and she will use them

This is without a doubt one of my favourite series I have ever read (repeatedly). The Mercyverse which will have you binge listening/reading all her books. This particular story gives you a closer look into the vampire side of the Mercyverse, letting you get more backstory on Stefan and also a buildup to the strengths/abilities that our Mercy has and everyone underestimates. The narration is great, really portrays the characters and more importantly is consistant throughout the series (so far) so no need to worry that'll you get used to one voice in one book only to have to get used to another in the following. Overall, definitely a book you'll keep re-reading/listening to for many years to come.

Great book!

Loved this book, it was interesting, fast paced with lots of drama and action. Already really like these characters a lot, they are smart and experience real type emotions, fear and bravery.
Highly recommended!

Audio skips several times

I enjoyed the story, and the performance is good, but in a few places there are missing words or clunky jumps. In one place it seems like a major scene is missing. unfortunate that it detracts from an otherwise entertaining experience.
