Bone Crossed

Mercy Thompson, Book 4

By: Patricia Briggs

Narrated by: Lorelei King

In a world where "witches, vampires, werewolves, and shape-shifters live beside ordinary people" (Booklist), it takes a very unusual woman to call it home. By day, Mercy Thompson is a car mechanic in Eastern Washington. By night, she explores her preternatural side. As a shape-shifter with some unusual talents, Mercy's found herself maintaining a tenuous harmony between the human and the not-so-human on more than one occasion. This time she may get more than she bargained for.©2009 Patricia Briggs; (P)2009 Penguin

Critic reviews

“The preternatural culture of vampire seethes and wolf pack politics is deeply intriguing. Briggs provides plenty of detail about Mercy's complex world.”—Publishers Weekly

“Mercy is not just another cookie-cutter tough-chick urban fantasy heroine; she's got a lot of style and substance and an intriguing back-story. Series fans will appreciate the resolution of some ongoing plot lines, and the romantic tension is strong.”—Library Journal

Still worth a listen

Yeah, this wasn't the best of the Mercy Thompson series, but I've still relistened half a dozen times when I relisten to the whole series. Things happen here are pertinent to the future books too, don't listen to the others telling you to skip it.
