About this listen

I am Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman. My only 'superpowers' are that I turn into a 35-pound coyote and fix Volkswagens. But I have friends in odd places and a pack of werewolves at my back. It looks like I'm going to need them.

Centuries ago, the fae dwelt in Underhill. When they were cast out, they left behind their great castles, troves of magical artefacts...and their prisoners. Without the fae to mind them, those creatures roamed freely through Underhill wreaking havoc. Only the deadliest survived.

Now one of those prisoners has escaped. It can look like any creature it chooses and if it bites you, it controls you. It lives for chaos and destruction and can make you do anything - even kill the person you love the most. Now it is here, in the Tri-Cities. In my territory.

It won't - can't - remain. Not if I have anything to say about it.

Mercy Thompson returns in another thrilling instalment from number one New York Times best-selling author Patricia Briggs.

Patricia writes some of the best relationship dialogue. I love how her characters work on good communication with each other. this book explores what happens when communication errodes. yet somehow, Patricia still writes meaningful, funny, and realistic lines for her characters. love it!

well read!

jeez, this book was good. I'm a huge fan of Stefan and I love the little bits of him in any book. I also love Wolf and loved having more of him in this book, even though it was odd and mysterious. can't wait to see what happens going forward.
The whole story was great though.

loved it the characters are so good can't say much without giving away the story so I will only say that I will read it again like I have with all of this series. thankyou

fabulous story

I felt like the fae bargaining was too complicated & expositional. And the secondary ‘climax’ ended too quickly. ALWAYS love Lorelei’s performance though🙌🏽

Is it me, or is this Mercy book a lil’ below par?
