Mercy Thompson #5

“That was a lead bullet. He’ll be fine.”

Mercy Thompson

Things are looking up for Mercy, so naturally, everything has to go wrong simultaneously. Pack politics and dodging the fae are nothing new, but her friends are now used to backing her up in crazy situations and are along for the ride. It’s another fun entry in the Mercy Thompson universe.

Mercy has had a lot of hardships recently, but some people have remained steadfast throughout those trials. This time, Mercy finds out how fragile some of those relationships can be. Fortunately, Mercy is not one to give up without a fight, even if she’s going against everything she once believed.

Pack politics rear their head again, and unusual events with the fae put her even more on guard. Mercy meets it all head-on with her usual sass, stubbornness, and willingness to play the weak one. It was great to see others rallying around her and willing to stick their necks out for her like she is willing to do for them.

Many of the characters are familiar, and I love seeing how they have changed throughout the series. One new arrival looks to be sticking around for the foreseeable future, and I look forward to seeing where that plotline goes.

Overall, this is a solid entry in the series. Action, drama, mind games, and a smidge of romance keep things fresh in Mercy Thompson’s world.
