War? Peace? Warewolf vs. Faye

This ninth installment is very well done. A plot that keeps you listening. This is a tough one to put down. There are parts of this book you will want to rewind and listen to several times in a good way. Mercedes and Adam take center stage as everyone clashes. We get to see many of our favorites as this story unfolds. Brigss finds a way to weave important contemporary messages into this supernatural narrative -- in a subtle way.

This story has a hint of romance, but is mostly action. It is fast paced and doesn't stall anywhere. Those who like supernatural will enjoy this. You will miss a great deal if you don't listen to the earlier novels. You can read this first, but you might be lost because of the many characters and the nuances as Briggs relies on the backstories of the past. Kings narration is superb.

I highly recommend this novel. I am anxious to listen to the next installment. Thumbs up and give it a read.

I love Mercy Thompson, and Patricia Briggs writes

Patricia Briggs writes with so smoothly. It's almost poetic. Great story. Love the love between Mercedes and Adam. It's great. I love that she's kickass. She's a strong woman with a man who loves her for being the way she is.

Not the right reader

What disappointed you about Fire Touched?

The reader - mercy is a tough gal. The readers voice makes her sound old and the men aren't better. I tried to listen for awhile but she doesn't seem to represent Mercy's character.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Fire Touched?

I didn't finish - I will read the book instead.

How could the performance have been better?

Change to a different reader. Sophie Eastlake or jennifer Ikeda.

keeps getting better!

I love this series. every story is fresh and new without leaving the stories realm. I love the characters and their depth yet still learn new info on them as we go. can't wait for the next book!

Wonderful read

Patricia Briggs is an amazing author, I love her Mercy books a lot. Mercy shows not only independence but love for her wolves( even though she is a coyote)
please don't ever stop the Mercy books.
