Mercy Thompson is living next door to a werewolf. One of her clients at her mechanic shop is a vampire. And her friend who used to own the mechanic shop is a member of the fae community. But Mercy is no average girl herself. She is a shapeshifter. She is able to turn into a coyote at will.
She is a competent, kick butt kind of girl. She doesn't take crap from anyone and tries to help others when she can.
Things get interesting and all mixed-up for Mercy, who normally tries to stay out of trouble with the rest of the paranormal worlds, when a new teenage werewolf shows up at her shop. Mac asks for a job and Mercy agrees to let him help.
Trouble follows Mac and Mercy tries to help by getting him together with her neighbor, the alpha of the local werewolf clan, Adam. There's a little love-hate thing going between Adam and Mercy (more love than hate!) Consequences end up sending Mercy back to her home in Montana with the Marrok (head of all the werewolf clans) Bran who just happens to have been the father who raised her. And we meet Samuel who Mercy had intended to marry when she was a teenager and there are still feelings there.
There's a great, gripping story here. There's a nice little love triangle. There's even politics, as the fae have come out (or been outted) to the human world with some difficulty. So, there's a bit of an X-Men government control issue here.
I found the story thoroughly intriguing and the book was quite hard to put down. I had to go straight into the following two books after finishing this one. In order, the books are Moon Called, Blood Bound and Iron Kissed. Briggs is working on book 4.
