Critic reviews

“The third book in an increasingly excellent series, Iron Kissed has all the elements I've come to expect in a Patricia Briggs novel: sharp, perceptive, characterization, non-stop action, and a level-headed attention to detail and location. I love these books.” (Charlaine Harris, number-one New York Times best-selling author)

“Another top-notch paranormal mystery...Thompson is a sharp, strong heroine and her lycanthropic love triangle is honest and steamy...a tense, nimble, crowd-pleasing page-turner.” (Publishers Weekly)

another good part to the series

so far this is another good part to the whole series will be getting the rest soon

Good story-line to follow

I really like Ms Briggs characterization and story-telling ability.
The only issue I have is with her inclusion of a homosexual relationship in every book. It must be an important, "hot-button" topic for her, but she should remember that not everyone shares her viewpoint on that subject. I find it offensive and distasteful, and I wish she would "tone-it down" in her writing.
If Mercy Thompson is a God-fearing - church-attending - Christian, then she must be hearing a watered-down version of the Truth.

Brilliant, deep and awesome!!

Briggs touches on important real life issues and wraps them into an amazing story of love, action and triumph. I have listened to this book several times and it never gets old.

love it

I love the voice actor she just makes Mercy feel like a real person! I own all of the hard copies and working on getting all of the audio books. This is my favorite series and that actor not only does it justice but enhances the experience!

you will love this book!

I've been waiting since starting this series for the ending hope that doesn't spoil it for anyone else! happy listening! loved it!

Can a fae kill?

Would you consider the audio edition of Iron Kissed to be better than the print version?

Hands down, I love a audio book over a print book. The only exception is if the narrator is the author. Sometimes this doesn't work out very well.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

We get a closer look at the fae world and their reservation. Her boss's background is slightly reviled. Mercy begins to finally make a choice between Sam and Adam.

Which character – as performed by Lorelei King – was your favorite?

I don't really have a favorite performance. She did a good job reading for the darker fae characters, which sent chills down my back.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were moments of laughter, but in this book I felt chilled and frightened for Mercy.

love it.

love mercy stories. pat brings you into tthe werewolf world for a short visit. bring cocoa

dark stuff in this one!

but very well done, i think. i think writers have a tendency to include sexual violence for an easy source of drama and emotions sometimes and i think its a bit sick, but i dont feel thats how it was employed here. impressively well done i think.

heads up trauma survivors

fantastic story, wonderfully performed. She handled a tragic event carefully and with grace. well done.

good series

I have really been enjoying this series for the most part! as usual they seem to think to much but like her spunk!
