Mercy Thompson's life has undergone a seismic change. Becoming the mate of Adam Hauptman - the charismatic Alpha of the local werewolf pack - has made her a stepmother to his daughter Jesse, a relationship that brings moments of blissful normalcy to Mercy's life. But on the edges of humanity, a minor mishap on an ordinary day can turn into so much more...
After an accident in bumper-to-bumper traffic, Mercy and Jesse can't reach Adam - or anyone else in the pack for that matter. They've all been abducted.
Through their mating bond, all Mercy knows is that Adam is angry and in pain. But she fears Adam's disappearance may be related to the political battle the werewolves have been fighting to gain acceptance from the public - and that he and the pack are in serious danger. Outmatched and on her own, Mercy may be forced to seek assistance from any ally she can get, no matter how unlikely.
What I really
liked about this book was our return to the Tri-Cities and seeing more of
Mercy’s journey to find her place. Compared to the beginning of this series,
Mercy has started a big transformation. She is still a trouble maker and she
sticks her nose into dangerous situations, but she has allies and enemies
galore. Mercy has carved her own place
out in Adam’s pack and his heart so now she has added a lot more
responsibility.
I love how Mercy
has found a family and watching her interact with all the friends and enemies
within the pack is very entertaining. I also loved the introduction of Asil
from the Alpha and Omega series. Asil is one of my favorite characters in this
world and I love more page time with him. Mercy tackles her responsibilities
head on in this novel when she needs to help rescue the pack after they are
abducted. She calls in favors and asks for help throughout this book which
shows how much she's grown and changed throughout the series.
While I enjoy the
different plots in each installment I wish we were making more progress in the
overarching plot. I'm not even sure what our overarching plot it at this point.
In each book I feel like Briggs is trying work something out in the background
as many questions about Mercy and her world are unanswered. I'd love if she
would clarify that since we ARE seven books into this series.
Overall I wish
this series stuck with me more. I tend to forget exactly what happened in each
book. Maybe I should start a reread?
