About this ebook

“Kick-ass were-coyote auto mechanic Mercedes Thompson” (Publishers Weekly) has leapt to the forefront of today’s urban fantasy heroes, thanks to bestselling author Patricia Briggs. Now, Mercy finds herself in the middle of a bloodbath—with only one way out...

Mercy has friends in low places—and in dark ones. And now she owes one of them a favor. Since she can shapeshift at will, she agrees to act as some extra muscle when her vampire friend Stefan goes to deliver a message to another of his kind. But this new vampire is hardly ordinary—and neither is the demon inside of him.

When the undead and the werewolves sent to find him don’t return, the local vampire queen turns to Mercy for help. A coyote is no match for a demon, but Mercy is determined to get her friends back—including the two werewolves circling around her heart.

Ratings and reviews

I wasn't sure what I thought of the series after the first book, but I can say without a doubt after finishing this one I'm HOOKED. This was excellent! It had just enough romance and heart jerkers. I could not put it down. I jumped in surprise at some parts and my heart rate would not slow down. Definitely, read this book.

Even better on the second read through, you pick up nuances missed in the first "and then what?" read through! The world building, smoothly integrating RL with the fantasy history, and characters we love or love to hate are what turns Briggs stories into magic. Hoping for a long run series.

I am a recent fan of urban fantasy and found this a good read. A bit better than the first of the series.
