About this audiobook

Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, faces a threat unlike any other in this thrilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

I am Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman.
My only “superpowers” are that I turn into a thirty-five pound coyote and fix Volkswagens. But I have friends in odd places and a pack of werewolves at my back. It looks like I'm going to need them.

Centuries ago, the fae dwelt in Underhill—until she locked her doors against them. They left behind their great castles and troves of magical artifacts. They abandoned their prisoners and their pets. Without the fae to mind them, those creatures who remained behind roamed freely through Underhill wreaking havoc. Only the deadliest survived.

Now one of those prisoners has escaped. It can look like anyone, any creature it chooses. But if it bites you, it controls you. It lives for chaos and destruction. It can make you do anything—even kill the person you love the most. Now it is here, in the Tri-Cities. In my territory.

It won't, can't, remain.

Not if I have anything to say about it.

Ratings and reviews

terrible book a love that is all but that. car troubles. well sci fi is close to truth technology has come to be pretty elusive too. use it for good or bad my life. my husband uses it and tried killing me quite a few times. so it wohld seem like a accident... blind consuming to know LOVE is said not protrayed.

Not the best one in the series but still pretty good. Can't go wrong with any of the books in the series tho. I really like how all the books in the mercy verse are all connected and build off each other.

another fantastic listen!
