Since my newfound interest in urban fantasy lingers, this review o’ the week is a review of Moon Called by Patricia Briggs courtesies of Jacqueline from Pennsylvania:

While not the best werewolf-based fantasy story, I have read. I found myself definitely enjoying this book. Briggs brings the main character Mercy to life in this book. I like the fact that she is a strong, but very vulnerable character. She also isn’t a cocky heroine like in some other series of this type. She just feels real.

I felt though like everything was just compiled into too short of a book and I still want to know more about the other characters. Most of them were underdeveloped and did not make me care much for their survival. I hope her next books are as good as this one was.

Werewolves & the women who love them: that’s what it’s all about, folks. This is a book I’ve had my eye on, so I’m relieved to hear the heroine isn’t made into one of those uber-sarcastic, unlikeable heroines that some writers create when they can’t think of more compelling strong female protagonists. Thanks for the review, Jacqueline!
