Description
Welcome to Patricia Briggs's world, a place where "witches, vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters live beside ordinary people" (Booklist). It takes a very unusual woman to call it home - and there's no one quite like Mercy Thompson.
By day, Mercy is a car mechanic in the sprawling Tri-Cities of Eastern Washington. By night, she explores her perternatural side. As a shapeshifter with some unique talents, Mercy has often found herself having to maintain a tenuous harmony between the human and the not so human. This time she may get more than she bargained for.
Marsilia, the local Vampire Queen, has learned that Mercy crossed her by slaying a member of her clan - and she's out for blood. But since Mercy is protected from direct reprisal by the werewolf pack (and her close relationship with its sexy Alpha), it won't be Mercy's blood Marsilia is after.
It'll be her friends'.

only mercy could get herself into so much trouble, while she is still recovering from a traumatic experience. inbetween panick attacks,the vampires are angry at her for killing Andre, and to get away from it all she goes to help her old friend get rid of a ghost problem. only she gets into trouble there too. she was warned to stay away from the only vampire in town, and guess who comes to dinner. yep you guessed it. this one had a couple of moments where you knew what was going to happen yet you are powerless to stop it. but other than that. very good book.
