Publisher's summary

Car mechanic Mercy Thompson has always known there was something different about her, and not just the way she can make a VW engine sit up and beg. Mercy is a shapeshifter, a talent she inherited from her long-gone father. She's never known any others of her kind. Until now.

An evil is stirring in the depths of the Columbia River - one that her father's people may know something about. And to have any hope of surviving, Mercy and her mate, the Alpha werewolf Adam, will need their help....

Have Mercy! Listen to another Mercy Thompson chiller.

Marvelous

Best one yet...all of the series's books have been fantastic. I especially like Mercy and Adam marrying. Koodos to writer and Lorelei King for her fabulous narrative skills.

Love the Story and Narrator

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Great story and easy to listen to.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters and the narrator

What does Lorelei King bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her voice is amazing and keeps your attention. I've read a lot of books that are narrated by her and actually search them out. This is how I came upon this series.

Any additional comments?

keep them coming!

favorite in series

Great series, great narrator. This story finally gives insight to Mercy's roots. The relationship between Mercy and Adam is solidified. This story had no relationship or pack drama and marks a turning point in the series. This is one of my favorite authors and series. I am rereading the entire series before reading the newest book. I would definitely recommend.

Monster on the honeymoon!

Of course, there would be a monster involved with Mercedes and Adam's honeymoon. Our favorite coyote/werewolf couple could NEVER have a plain, simple... boring time away.

One of the best parts is the appearance of "Coyote". I will not spoil it for you.

Enjoy the surprise at the beginning. Because apparently EVERYONE was involved...

This one deserves more high reviews…

I’m not sure why everyone was complaining about this one in the review section, but I honestly felt like it was a breath of fresh air after the intense circumstances of previous books. Don’t get me wrong this one still has Mercy battling for her life, but it felt like a break which after binging the first half of this series I think I needed & it focused on not only some Native American lore but also on Mercy’s background. I really enjoyed it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
