Review: Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs

The Blurb

Mercy Thompson has been hailed as “a heroine who continues to grow and yet always remains true to herself.”* Now she’s back, and she’ll soon discover that when the fae stalk the human world, it’s the children who suffer...
 
Tensions between the fae and humans are coming to a head. And when coyote shapeshifter Mercy and her Alpha werewolf mate, Adam, are called upon to stop a rampaging troll, they find themselves with something that could be used to make the fae back down and forestall out-and-out war: a human child stolen long ago by the fae.
 
Defying the most powerful werewolf in the country, the humans, and the fae, Mercy, Adam, and their pack choose to protect the boy no matter what the cost. But who will protect them from a boy who is fire touched?

My Review

The books in this series keep getting better. I figure that’s because Mercy keeps getting tougher and smarter, and the love between her and Adam continues to grow. Of course I can’t forget all of the magnificent characters Ms. Briggs throws into Mercy’s path (both good, bad, and we’ll-see-which-side-he-or-she-falls-into).

I can’t believe I have to wait until next year to read another book in the series (Silence Fallen) which I have already preordered at full price because that’s how awesome Ms. Briggs books are.

I give this book five out of five bridge shaped chocolate bars (If I could give more I certainly would)

I purchased this book from Amazon.

Review: Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs

The Blurb

Being a mechanic is hard work. Mercy Thompson, for instance, just spent the last couple of months trying to evade the murderous queen of the local vampire seethe. And now the leader of the werewolf pack, who's maybe-more-than-just-a-friend, has asked for her help. A book of fae secrets has come to light and they're all about to find out how implacable - and dangerous - the fae can be.

OK, so maybe her troubles have nothing to do with the job. But she sure could use a holiday... 

My Review

Just when I think Ms. Briggs can’t surprise me, she does it. This was an amazing story, full of twists, turns, and suspense. Will Mercy get out of this one without major damage? Will Adam save the day or will Mercy do it herself? Will Adam kick ass or have his handed to him? And the questions kept rolling in with answers I hadn't expected.

If I didn’t think Mercy and Adam belonged together before, this book would have cinched it for me. These two are the best couple ever and I love that they love each other so much and are so in sync, even though they drive each other nuts on occasion. I give a huge sigh to the wonderful romance they share.

I purchased this book from Amazon.

I give this book five out five book shaped chocolate bars.
