I can’t say that I was too happy with this one. I will give it a 5/5 because I love the story line and some parts were beyond great for me.
Zee and Uncle Mike call in the debt that Mercy owes them for use of the medallion that she used to kill not one but two vamps in the last book Blood Bound. There is someone killing Fae and Mercy has a great nose in coyote form. So she goes traipsing off with Zee to smell the murder scenes and see if there is a scent that was at all of the murders. She ends up only searching the last and the first two, but soon figures out exactly who it was killing the Fae.
Zee and Uncle Mike go to have a little “chat” with the killer and find that the human is already dead. Zee is picked up on murder and it seems that the Fae are content to let him take the fall. So even after being told to stay out of it by Uncle Mike ( he should really know better), Mercy takes it upon herself to go to the murderer’s home and sniff out what she can. While there she learns a few things and meets a crow ( who you just know is Fae).
Once Mercy figured everything out, I was upset with the path that things went down; though I can understand it. And really PROPS to Mercy for the way she took care of that one!!
The side story of this book is all about Mercy needing to choose between Adam; Aloha of the local pack who has already claimed her as his mate in the pack, and Samuel; first love and werewolf. I really am glad that she made a choice in the end and I am happy with her choice even though I do love them both.
There were a lot of tears on my end in the last few chapters of the book, but it is a great read and I couldn’t put it down!! ( )

I liked this one, I found it more exciting than the last. ( )

Still enjoying it but hoping that it doesn't lose my interest like Hamilton's series did. Their were moments I was a little worried. My wife still really loves them. This was almost a 3 star for me. Will see with book 4. It will be my wife's first purchase on her new Kindle 2. ( )

Zee has been left as a scapegoat by his own people, but Mercy is having none of it!
*Trigger warning*, this book touches upon a darker theme sexual assault (though not graphic). In my opinion, the author has done a very good job writing how Mercy handled it. But still, be warned.

Worldbuilding:
Back in the world we know and love by now, the author manages to write all the scenes with such skill, I love it! Everything was clear and well detailed, perfect for staying immersed in the story. We learned a lot about the fae, which after book 2 gave some welcome insights.

Character development:
Sam or Adam, that is the choice Mercy has to make because both of them are pushing each other's buttons and something is going to blow if she doesn't choose soon... or well, one or the other is going to die.
We learned some more about Zee and Uncle Mike, and some other interesting characters which I'm sure we will see in later instalments (yay).
After reading the book, you realise what a strong and caring woman Mercy is. She fights for her friends and those she sees as her family.
As always, all characters feel real and believable. I was happy we met more of the fae, but hopefully, next time we go back to the vamps, I missed Stefan :D

Pacing and flow:
What a ride... it felt a bit slower than the previous instalments, though there was always that sense of urgency beneath everything that went on.
I read the book in one go, I just had to know. I mean, yes, I know there are more books, but you don't think about that while you're reading about everything that went down, trust me. Great balance between all the action and conversation.

The book:
The book was well written with no (noticeable) errors. There is sex described. The book is 287 pages long, spread over 13 chapters and told from Mercy's point of view.

Final thoughts:
This book had me in tears, the one scene with Ben... you'll understand when you get there. ( )

This is actually a re read for me. I love this series. Strong Female lead, paranormal done slightly different. ( )
