Patricia Briggs's Mercy Thompson was first introduced to the world in the novel Moon Called, which launched a #1 bestselling phenomenon. Mercy is a shapeshifter who, though raised by werewolves, can never be one of them, especially after the pack ran her off for having a forbidden love affair. She has since turned her talent for fixing cars into a business, now running a one-woman mechanic shop in the Tri-Cities area of Washington State.
However, Mercy's two worlds are about to collide. A half-starved teenage boy arrives at her shop, seeking work and revealing that he is a newly changed werewolf, on the run and desperately trying to control his animal instincts. Mercy turns to her neighbor Adam Hauptman, the Alpha of the local werewolf pack, for assistance. But Mercy's act of kindness has unexpected consequences, leaving her no choice but to seek help from those she once considered family - the werewolves who had abandoned her.
"In the increasingly crowded field of kick-ass supernatural heroines, Mercy stands out as one of the best," according to Locus. Mercy Thompson is a complex and captivating character, a shapeshifter navigating the challenges of her dual identity and the supernatural world that surrounds her.
The events of Moon Called set the stage for a thrilling and immersive urban fantasy series, where Mercy's unique abilities and her relationships with both the human and werewolf communities are tested time and again. As she confronts dangers and unravels mysteries, Mercy's strength, resilience, and moral compass are put to the ultimate test.
Briggs's masterful storytelling and world-building have earned her legions of devoted readers, who eagerly await each new installment in the Mercy Thompson series. The novels seamlessly blend action, suspense, romance, and supernatural elements, creating a richly imagined and captivating narrative that draws readers deep into Mercy's world.
Moon Called is a must-read for fans of urban fantasy and shapeshifter stories, as well as anyone who appreciates a strong, complex female protagonist navigating the complexities of the modern supernatural landscape. Mercy Thompson's journey is sure to leave a lasting impression, cementing her place as one of the most compelling and memorable heroines in the genre.
