Blood Bound

In the realm of urban fantasy, Mercedes Thompson stands out as a remarkable were-coyote and skilled auto mechanic, brought to life by the talented Patricia Briggs. Mercy, as she's known, finds herself entangled in a dangerous situation with deadly consequences—and she must navigate her way through it to survive. Mercy has a knack for making friends in unexpected places, including some quite ominous ones. When one of her supernatural acquaintances, Stefan the vampire, requires a favor, she can't refuse. Her unique ability to shapeshift into a coyote makes her the perfect candidate to accompany Stefan as backup on a mission to deliver a message to another vampire. However, this vampire is unlike any she's encountered before, mainly due to the demon lurking within him. As the situation escalates, the local vampire queen enlists Mercy's help, especially when both the undead and the werewolves sent to track the rogue vampire fail to return. Though a coyote may seem outmatched against a demon, Mercy is fiercely resolved to rescue her friends, including the two werewolves who hold a special place in her heart.
