Publisher's summary

Mercy Thompson returns in the seventh novel in the number-one New York Times best-selling series.

Mercy Thompson's life has undergone a seismic change. Becoming the mate of Adam Hauptman—the charismatic Alpha of the local werewolf pack—has made her a stepmother to his daughter, Jesse, a relationship that brings moments of blissful normalcy to Mercy's life. But on the edges of humanity, what passes for a minor mishap on an ordinary day can turn into so much more....

After an accident in bumper-to-bumper traffic, Mercy and Jesse can't reach Adam—or anyone else in the pack for that matter. They've all been abducted.

Through their mating bond, all Mercy knows is that Adam is angry and in pain. With the werewolves fighting a political battle to gain acceptance from the public, Mercy fears Adam's disappearance may be related—and that he and the pack are in serious danger. Outclassed and on her own, Mercy may be forced to seek assistance from any ally she can get, no matter how unlikely.

Love this series

I love the Mercy Thompson book series. It has everything that draws me in. A great heroine who is both strong but needs help. A bit of comedy that makes me laugh out loud from time to time. A great world of paranormal. And overall good story telling.

fantastic book!

loved it! I'm so addicted to this series! only one book was slow for me but this one picked right back up!

Great Series!

I cannot stop listening to this series. I have bought extra credits every other week just to get the next books in this series. The author and narrator do an excellent job in their roles.

I loved it

Frost Burned gets back to the fast-paced, Fae, Vampire and Werewolf world of Mercy Thompson.   There is a little Coyote Magic in this one that bleeds over from the last book River Marked which was not my favorite, but not much.  
 
Adam and the entire pack have been kidnapped except for Mercy, Jessie, and Ben.  Mercy is once again put to the test with protecting herself, her pack, and her loved ones when mercenaries, assassins, and zealots come calling.  However, it turns out it is all part of a much bigger a deadlier plot that requires Mercy’s intervention to help fix.   

Frost Burned is action-packed from beginning to end and full of the Mercy that I love.  After River Marked, this book gets back to the heart of the story that I love.  I am rating it 5 Boundless Stars. 

Bad Vampires!! For getting Mercy Involved!!

Dear Mercy and Adam Haupman. Maybe it's time for a little sit-down with the local vamps to find out what's on their calendar for the next 12 months or so. You know, coordinate a little better. It seems that you all are always on the defensive. I don't know... What do you think?

I just seems that invariably, someone outside the pack is causing trouble for one or more of the wolves, Sometimes the werewolves are caught off guard unexpectedly. This isn't the firs time this is happened.

Maybe the Marrock should come down there are kick some werewolf and vampire ass, and things would settle down some. Surely, there someone in the pack with psychic powers you could consult to avoid the B.S. that comes your way on a regular basis.

What you think? Get Charles and Anna to kick some butt? Huh?

It's a fun read, like the rest of them, but not much happens to move the overarching plot along.
Yawn. Snooze.

Truly one of the best of Mercy's battle books!

Lots of action here! Mercy is on the run from the very first page. There is more a foot than just one villian because there is a money man involved with some sadistic plans.
Mercy has to gather the remnants of the pack together and make them safe before she goes hunting.
Excellent story line with delightful plot twists.

another great adventure

as always, Patricia Briggs delivers a fun, exciting tale. I have enjoyed this series all the way through so far. Not too serious and a lot of fun.

Strong characters

Complex strong characters. Enjoyable riveting story. Gotta love a coyote mechanic 😊! Patricia Briggs for the win.

AAA ~ Another Awesome Audiobook!

Wow, Frost Burned was captivating, suspenseful, and full of action and it pulled me right into the story! There was no slow start and I could not stop listening, and actually finished the book in one day.

Well done! Another win for the Mercy Thompson series!

Great story

This was another great Mercy story. She came, she saw, she kicked butt, she protected, and she made another friend, Long may her and Adam;s story continue.
