Review:I held off buying any more of the Mercy books, as I really needed my sleep. Caught up on the sleep, I started #3 three days ago. I forced myself, two nights running, to turn my light off at a reasonable time, and thereby stretch the fun of the book out a little longer. Last night, I threw caution, and sleep, to the winds, and finished the book.
No vampires in this book, which is too bad, though I'm sure they'll reappear, and soon. This book dealt with the fae, and who was killing them, an... Read more
Review:I loved that Stefan had a fairly large part in this book. He’s one of my favorite characters in the series. I didn’t like some of what happened to him, but at least some of it wasn’t permanent. I’m really almost hating Marsilia. I totally get why she did what she did, but I don’t like her.
Mercy was raped in the last book, and she’s still working through her issues with that. And with the fact that she has finally done what we all knew she would be doing since book 1: Become Adam’s mate. ... Read more
Review:I have long awaited this most recent book in the Mercy Thompson series and was not disappointed. In my opinion, Patricia Briggs is one of, if not THE best writer in this genre. Pooey to those who say they were disappointed. I enjoyed seeing Adam and Mercy finally delve deeper into their relationship now that they are married. As for the rest of the story...how could anyone NOT enjoy...the complexity of the characters and all the action was still there! Can't wait for the next installment, ... Read more
Review:This book was fast paced, but p Briggs didn't forget any details she has a wonderful way of linking all the stories in this series together. I could not our it down and wound up reading it in just two days! I highly recommend. Read more
Review:This is the best of the Mercy books. I loved them all but Mercy finally admits that she is in love and starts to make a life with Adam. Also loved the new storylines for Samuel and Jesse. If you like urban fantasy you'll love this. Read more
Review:I finished this book last night and loved it. Her characters are always the selling point for me -- interesting, rather sharp-edged and complicated. The plot is good, but not necessarily the main attraction. It's the words and the story telling that draw me. I was also suitably terrified during one particular scene, which is impressive because I'm rarely frightened by scary scenes.
Briggs is honestly my favorite author next to JK Rowling, who is rather stiff competition. Read more

Review:After I got past all the old English names for people and places, it was a great read. There was lots of action and authenticity. I'm looking forward to the sequel. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoyes historical fiction. Read more
Review:I could not wait to start reading this book after I finished the first one in the series. It was fantastic and held my interest to the very end. I started the last one immediately after the end of this one. Read more
Review:I haven’t read many of the Sharpe’s books, but I picked this one up to see what I could learn about Trafalgar. Well, I certainly got an eyeful, as expected! What I didn’t expect was how long it took to get there; we had to go through about 2/3 of the book before everything was in place. Since Sharpe is a landlubber, it took some doing to position him on a ship, but naturally Cornwell worked it all out and Sharpe was able to contribute his strong arm to the fighting scenes. We had a romance, too,... Read more
