"EXCELLENT READ... 4 1/2 stars!!! If I could have, I would have read it in one day! The twists and turns, the world Mercy lives, the suspense... The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was its lack of steamy scenes between Mercy and Adam! God the tension between those two is killing me!!!!!"
— Susan (4 out of 5 stars)
“The strong and complex characters kept me entertained.”
— Kim Harrison, New York Times bestselling author of A Fistful of Charms“[A] tightly plotted and fast-paced tale...Mercy’s a likable protagonist whose ability to get herself into—and out of—jams is unparalleled...[A] superb book.”
— RT Book Reviews“Engaging.”
— Publishers Weekly" Just when you think you know all the players in the Tri-Cities area, there emerges another Apex predator made up of the darkest magic ... an alliance is not enough to safe one and may destroy the other! Kyle is a flamboyant hoot and I am off to listen to Iron Kissed (again <3 !) "
— LA.YAM, 11/10/2021" Good story line, books online are great " read" . Sometimes the beginning of the book/story is very relative, but I think it's either to remind readers what the characters are like or if someone picks up a book out of order they may not be totally lost. "
— 12/12/2017" I won the sample stories thru a raffle and decided they were just my style of books and found that I liked listening to them whole driving to and from work. The mercy Thompson stories are great if u like werewolves, witches, elves, vampires and other things that go bump in the night. "
— DivineDonskoy Breeder, 12/8/2017" These books are fun Reads. "
— Jesi, 1/28/2014" Nice book, another rotten cover. "
— Mel, 1/25/2014" It was great and exciting! "
— Kaila, 1/11/2014" I love Patricia Briggs! This book certainly didn't disappoint! "
— Madeline, 1/4/2014" I really hope that Mercy and Adam end up together. I think it would be good for both of them as well as Jesse. "
— Mandi, 12/22/2013" i like this book because she has to help find a vampire that is killing people. and the vampire has some of her friend and she has to find them before night time of they will be killed "
— Sandra, 12/19/2013" I liked the 2nd in the series as well as the first! "
— Dawn, 9/15/2013" Storyline continues to be good. Reading this one late at night freaked me out a little bit because of the demon-vampire in it. Even worse cover art than the first one! Doesn't have anything to do with the Mercy character in the book (except the tattoo by her bellybutton). "
— Mindi, 8/27/2013" I've read this book multiple times and this was my favorite reading. This is usually my least favorite book in the series; it's the most violent and the vampires are my least favorite characters. However this reading I really enjoyed the relationships in the story. "
— Brandielle, 1/6/2013" I loved all of the installments in the Mercy Tompson series and can't wait for the new book to come out. It is a rather easy read, but you can't help fall in love with Mercy, Adam, all the characters and the storyline. A must read. "
— Emma, 10/18/2012" Little bit of repetitive information. Mercy is loveable character, but somehow the background information lingers from the first book. Don't think I'll continue reading the series purely because of repetition. "
— Dijana, 9/8/2012" This is an easy read. It is a "g" rated Sookie Stackhouse type book series. "
— Jill, 4/17/2012" Love this series but this is my least favorite book of them. Still good though! "
— 14gurst, 2/3/2012" I really liked this book. Can't wait to read the next one. "
— Meghan, 12/21/2011" Fast paced action with great characters I am really enjoying reading. Looking forward to the next book. "
— GemS, 12/6/2011" Actually re-reading. Bought it again in hard back and am currently reading it again. I finished it and still enjoy the adventures or Mercy Thompson. A heroine who knows she is not as strong as those around her, but gets in there and does what has to be done. "
— Patty, 11/19/2011" Read and loved it when it first came out. Finished audiobook now and still love it! "
— Cheryl, 5/17/2011" 4,5<br/>Sorry Same, Adam je proste lepší ;) "
— Nora, 5/17/2011" Reminds me a little of the anita Blake series in the multiple men point of view. Good series so far "
— Georgina(Amelia), 5/16/2011" Sometimes I think she over-explains things, but it was still a compelling read. "
— Qing, 5/16/2011" 4.5 out of 5. Love this series! "
— Molly, 5/14/2011" A second great installment to this series, also very much like the first. No sex, little language, great reading. "
— Abby, 5/13/2011" I am truly loving the Mercy Thompson series! I have the next two books on my shelf waiting for me to pick them up. These books are an awesome combination of mystery and science fiction. "
— Laura, 5/12/2011" You don't find many good books on paranormal these nowadays but this is one of the rare gems among the glasses and everyone who is a self-respecting book lover should be reading this at least once in their life. "
— Sun, 5/10/2011" Loved the part when she was sparring with Adam in his garage. "
— Lyn, 5/9/2011" I think this book might have been even better then that first one. "
— Devilyn, 5/6/2011" This series is wonderful. An awesome mix of fantasy with mystery. Patricia does a great job of hiding the killer until she decides to reveal it. Love it! "
