pickBook 2 of the Mercy Thompson series was so good! Mercy ends up in a race against time to track down a preternatural serial killer and save her friends. The pacing was perfect, lots of action. Also really liked the way that the werewolves dominance woo woo was explained. Samuel needs to gtfo though, I hope Mercy kicks him to the curb sooner than later.
pickI read this in 2013 and I liked it, I may have read more of the series? I can‘t remember, but I have plenty of catching up to do regardless. So since 2006 we as a society are more aware of cultural appropriation & Briggs is not native & the fae are sent to reservations which is… not ideal. Urban fantasy around that time would throw in any & every culture with little to no research, I don‘t know how the indigenous community feels about it here

When former star Devin finds himself acting just like his famous werewolf character--complete with glowing eyes and fangs--he turns to the creator of his fan site for help, not realizing he once brutally stomped on her feelings.
Devin's a sweet Himbo, Alex is a cynical loner--but they're both wounded and lonely. I'm not sure the paranormal plotline mixed well with the realism overall, but it's an appealing story. I even liked the sex scenes! 🤯
so-soThis is a somewhat interesting collection of superstitions about lycanthropy that kinda lost track of itself partway through and started being a sort of proto-true crime about people who committed terrible crimes, tenuously linking that to lycanthropy via mental illness.
The first part was best.
This book opens with one of my favorite passages ever. It's a short story all on it's own.
“You‘ve been standing here staring at that flower shop for fifteen minutes. So is it for her birthday or anniversary, or are you making up for a fight? Because I‘ve been married for thirty-two years, and believe me, there are different bouquets for different occasions.”
