Iron Kissed

In Patricia Briggs's acclaimed series featuring Mercy Thompson, readers are drawn into a world where creatures like vampires, werewolves, and fae roam, with Mercy at the heart of it all. As a 'walker,' she once found safety in her ability to transform into a coyote, but those times have changed, and her capabilities have grown more formidable. Mercy's unwavering sense of duty is put to the test when Zee, her previous employer and mentor, seeks her assistance. A string of mysterious murders has disrupted the tranquility of a fae reservation, and Zee believes that Mercy's unique skills, particularly her keen coyote sense, can help uncover the culprit. The situation takes a dire turn when Zee is wrongfully implicated in the death of the very suspect Mercy identified. His own community abandons him, leaving Mercy with the task of proving his innocence, whether or not he's ready to accept her help. Meanwhile, Mercy's personal life is equally complicated. She finds herself torn between two werewolves she deeply cares for—Sam and Adam. Known for their intensity and impatience, they won't wait forever for Mercy to make a decision, possibly forcing her hand in matters of the heart. *Lynn Viehl, a fellow New York Times bestselling author, suggests that this series will enchant anyone who picks it up.
