Iron Kissed

Mercy Thompson, Book 3

De: Patricia Briggs

Narrado por: Lorelei King

Meet car mechanic and coyote shapeshifter Mercy Thompson, star of Patricia Briggs's #1 New York Times bestselling series. Being a lowly "walker" in a world of vampires, werewolves, and fae once kept her safe. But Mercy's bark-and bite-are not so harmless any more...

Though Mercy Thompson can shift her shape into that of a coyote, her loyalty never wavers. So when her former boss and mentor, Zee, asks for her help, she's there for him. A series of murders has rocked a fae reservation, and Zee needs her unique gifts, namely her coyote sense of smell, to sniff out the killer.

But when Zee is accused of murdering the suspect Mercy outed, he's left to rot behind bars by his own kind. Now it's up to Mercy to clear his name, whether he wants her to or not.

Mercy's loyalty is under pressure from other directions, too. Werewolves are not known for their patience, and if Mercy can't decide between the two she cares for, Sam and Adam may make the choice for her...

4.5-5 stars

This was a great story and addition to the series. I really love this series but I will admit that this book bothered me a bit because **spoiler** Mercy gets beaten up and raped by the bad guy. The language used for the rape is vague and distances the act a bit but it's still disturbing to read. It's not fun but very well done. **end spoiler**

In this book, Mercy's friend and former mentor, Zee, asks her to help the Fae investigate some murders happening in their community. Mercy still owes the Fae a favor for borrowing implements that helped her kill some vampires in the previous book so she agrees to help. She does what she can but the investigation leads to deeper issues when Zee gets arrested for a murder he didn't commit. Everyone tells Mercy to stay out of it but Zee's a good friend and Mercy is loyal so she keeps snooping. She succeed in her investigating but things go bad (see the spoiler above). Thankfully, Mercy is able to take down the bad guy and prove Zee's innocence.

This was a extremely well written story and I did enjoy it a lot...except for the obvious parts. And when that part of the story was over, I really liked the aftermath and how Mercy and Adam deal with things. It was very well done and I loved to see it. Overall, this was a great story and I would recommend the series. :)

Wow

Love mercy Thomson. This is one of the best series I've read in a long time.
Ben , the character Ben has developed nicely. A back story is provided for him.
All in all I recommend this series.

A fun series to read

Great fun and you can all most believe in magic, shape shifters and the whole other worldly characters. Nicely done and a great pace with interesting twists and turns. If you like this genre, and I do, then kick back and be entertained.Pick up the whole series and it is good to read it in sequence.
