Also, the fact that the entire pack is allowed to continue their disrespectful and cruel behavior towards Mercy, without her standing up for herself or Adam saying anything, is very odd based on what the author has told us about pack dynamics and behavior in the past (she has done this before also with no explanation). It makes for a very awkward book and a book with characters that feel completely different then prior stories. Similar situations are continued throughout the entire story. Does Adam follow suit and apologize as well? Or does he explain? Or does he even talk to her about it later? Nope. Mercy snaps at him about him being busy and then immediately apologizes to him because she remembers who the real enemy is.
However, the entire thing is made worse when Adam calls Mercy later and complains that she didn't ask Christy to get him. OK, completely inappropriate but OK it happens. A great example of this happens around the middle of the book, Mercy calls Adam's cell and his ex-Christy answers (while he's supposed to be at work). Either way, something happened to our beloved characters, Mercy has become a doormat for almost everyone and Adam has become a jerk and completely blind to what his wife/mate is going through and what is happening in his own house. However, this book felt like the author was letting someone else write it. This review is hard to write because I have really loved the past seven books of this series and the characters. As the bodies start piling up, Mercy must put her personal troubles aside to face a creature with the power to tear her whole world apart. Christy’s stalker is more than a bad man-in fact, he may not be human at all. Mercy isn’t about to step down without a fight, but there’s a more dangerous threat circling. She wants Adam back, and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to get him, including turning Adam’s pack against Mercy. Soon her suspicions are confirmed when she learns that Christy has the furthest thing from good intentions. But with Christy holed up in Adam’s house, Mercy can’t shake the feeling that something about the situation isn’t right. Adam isn’t the kind of man to turn away a person in need-and Mercy knows it. Her mate Adam’s ex-wife is in trouble, on the run from a stalker. Now Mercy must deal with an unwanted guest-one that brings a threat unlike anything she’s ever known.Īn unexpected phone call heralds a new challenge for Mercy. #1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs’s Mercy Thompson series has been hailed as “one of the best” (Fiction Vixen Book Reviews).
