Summery:
Mercy Thomson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, never knows what the day-or night-may bring in a world where witches, vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters live beside ordinary people. But she is about to learn that while some secrets are dangerous, those who seek them are just plain deadly...
Mercy is smart enough to realize that when it comes to the magical fae, the less you know, the better. But you can't always get what you want. When she attempts to return a powerful fae book she previously borrowed in an act of desperation, she finds the bookstore locked up and closed down.
It seems the book contains secrets-and the fae will do just about anything to keep it out of the wrong hands. And if that doesn't take enough of Mercy's attention, her friend Samuel is struggling with his wolf side-leaving Mercy to cover for him lest his own father declare Samuel's life forfeit.
All in all, Mercy has had better days. And if she isn't careful, she may not have many more...
My Thoughts:
I've had this book on my TBR list for a while now and finally got around to reading it. Despite this being a part of a series, it also reads well as a stand-alone. Mercy is a likable character and a bit of an outcast, since she is living with werewolves despite not being one and mated to the Alpha.
She goes to return a book to Phin, her friend and bookstore owner, but she finds a fae inside with no sign of her friend. Realizing that what she borrowed may be dangerous, she hides the book until she finds Phin.
I really loved reading this. I was able to finish it in a matter of days after I started it. My only complaints are that the big showdown was a bit of a letdown (it was too short) and we know pretty much nothing about why this book is so dangerous.
My Rating: 4.5 stars
