4.5 Mercy and Adam on their Honeymoon! YAY finally!<br/>I enjoyed this one it really gave Mercy some answers she had been missing from her Father's side of the family. As mind bending as some of the explanations were it still worked. Poor Mercy I feel so bad for her poor battered body!!

This one breaks away from the pattern a bit, simply because so many of the supporting characters aren't there - but that's a good thing! Briggs still gives us a fun, entertaining story with enough moments of worry that you can't put it down. If you've read this far, don't miss this one. If you haven't read anythign else in the series, you'd be better off starting with an earlier book.

This is a pointless, bloated book. She's written better - may be time to end the series

This rating is rounded up to 5 not because it was a book I couldn't put down but because of how the book made me feel. It was more of a comfort-read to me. I love Mercy and Adam and enjoyed their together-ness in this book and was never bored. The book did serve up a good amount of mystery and suspense but just not the edge-of-your-seat kind. In this book there's a trade-off. Adam, Adam, and more Adam....not much going on with her friends. In Book #5 Adam was NOT involved for most the last half of the book! You CAN'T get a book taking place on a honeymoon AND have all her friend's from back home take part in the plot! It's in the 1st person and Mercy can't be in two places at once so I was happy with the cohesion of the storyline. (I personally didn't miss the other characters because I'd just read #1-5 within the last few weeks! I may have if I had waited a year for the book to be released however.) Next book HAS to be back home and about Yo-yo Girl!!! During the honeymoon we are given interesting insight into the so-called Great Spirits and Mercy's origins. I found this aspect of the book interesting and unique for a UF book. Briggs give us something new in a change of setting which is a more realistic place for Mercy to learn about her origins and meet other walkers. I did find it unrealistic though that the police wouldn't have asked how and who killed the (view spoiler)[monster (hide spoiler)] especially considering Mercy's condition...despite the native issues mentioned. Is Mercy a hero in the papers or not?!? I guess not...or maybe there will be a mention in the next book. Being known for her heroic accomplishments would be better than being known as the victim she was previously. Look forward to another in the series in 2013.

This book is wonderfully done. Even though it is the sixth of a series, the plot doesn't seem forced. You learn about Mercy Thompson's heritage, and you get to see the relationship between Mercy and Adam deepen and develop further. There is hardly no other wolves or vampires in this novel, just brief mentions and visits. It's all about the newly married couple. Not that it is a bad thing. There were some parts of the plot that seems a little hokey, and a little forced, but a great read overall!

I find it interesting that with almost all of her other series end at two books, but that there at least 10 stories in the 'Mercyverse'. She must have found alot to tell us about Mercy, Adam, Sam, Charles, Anna, and Bran. It's going to be a long wait for the next chapter in the story. Do you think that Mercy will have wolf pups or coyote pups? And will Sam and Silver have shapechanging babies, since Silver is a Fae Shapeshifter? Perhaps the next story will answer those questions.

Just finished the book last night. Another great book in the Mercy Thompson series. This particular book was full of info. Mercy learns alot about herself in this one. The moment we were all waiting for from the previous book was great, but being the romantic i was i wanted more out of that particular part of the story. Didn't quite meet my expectations. But the rest of the book is great, all the action that Patricia Briggs bring to her books. Now i have to wait til 2013 for the next book in the series, but til then the sister series Alpha and Omega has a third book coming in 2012 so that will have to do. And if you haven't read Alapha and Omega you should great series too.

I enjoy the fantasy aspect of her "Mercy" series. Her characters have depth and it is fun to read about country that I'm familiar with. (southern Washington state)

This is the best of a very interesting series. I picked up and read it in six hours. My husband read it over a weekend, unable to put it down despite house guests and home repairs. Excellent tight writing, vivid characters, and a evil villain that will sneak into your dreams.

Patricia Briggs does not disappoint! I always look forward to her Mercy novels and this one is a good as the rest. Chock full of weird things and action galore. Great series.
