I LOVE the Mercy Thompson books.I first found out about it on amazon.com.I found the first book here.It sounded really interesting so I ordered Moon Called.The book was great and I wanted so much to find out if there was a second book.I looked it up and found out there is a second book.This time I bought it from a book store.I was just browsing and saw "Blood Bound" and who the author was and got so excited that I had found the second book.I didn't have to wait for it in the mail.I could buy it right there and I did.


I love this story because of who and what Mercy is.She is a Walker.A Walker being someone who can change there form into the Coyote at will.A Walker who was raised by a Werewolf and not just any Werewolf but the Marrok himself.The Marrok is THE Alpha,the Alpha of Alphas.Mercy maybe being the last of her kind, because she doesn't know of any others living around her area.No one really knows much about the Walkers or if there is any of them left other than Mercy.Having been hunted and killed by the Vampires years ago.Because Mercy,like all other Walkers she is immune to some forms of magic and more because they can see and talk to ghost.Because their prey die so viciously when they feed on them that when they die and turn into a ghost they tend to linger a bit where they died,that being a way for the Walkers to track down and kill the Vampires,for that reason the Vampires felt threatened.
She is surrounded by Werewolves and others mythical creatures.Not being a Werewolf and not a Fae she was a loner.


Blood Bound:
This is also a good story because Mercy just keeps getting involved in trouble that she was not looking for.Stephan(the Vampire) ask Mercy if she could help in a small matter as a way to pay him back for his help in finding Jesse in "Moon Called".She is just to be a small security measure for Stephan with a Vampire who did not check in with the leader of the Vampires.Unknowing what they are really dealing with they go in.Things take a turn for the worse the next time Mercy wakes she is in her own home with Stephan and Sam watching her.She is soon apart of the trouble that is happening all over the city.The Demon possessed Vampire is causing everyone within the area to all the chaos is becoming very short tempered and violent...It also continues the love triangle between Mercy,Adam,Sam and possibly adding Stephan(a Vampire)into the mix.I would have liked to see where that would have gone.Vampires are to be said that they can't be trusted seeing as how they don't really care for something or someone.

I read the first book and was not disappointed with this book either. Patricia Briggs has done a great job with the on going development of the interactions between all the characters and interspecies??? interactions as well. Can hardly wait to get my copy of the next one.

I loved this book even more than I did Moon Called. Mercy is an amazing character. She is charming, without being aware she is charming. She is loyal, and strong spirited. She is what a strong willed woman should be. She is emotional about her friends, but not in the whiny,crying,overly dramatic way. This book was well-written and hard to put down. I can't even imagine how a series could get better than this (but I'd be eager to see it). Only negatives: two many beaus. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but please don't turn another Anita!
