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)

Love this series

What did you love best about Iron Kissed?

I like this series so far. I like the fact how strong Mercy is, how independent and cool too. I love that she finally chooses who she loves!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Iron Kissed?

the rape scene. I was going through the waves of emotions a long with Mercy.

What aspect of Lorelei King’s performance would you have changed?

I think she did of very good job of portraying what I imagined Mercy to sound like.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I honestly don't know.

another good part to the series

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

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!
