Moon Called
This was my first experience with Patricia Briggs. Overall, my feelings were meh. I am not a big fan of the romance genre. The genre as a whole is predictable in as far as how characters interact with each other. This was half way fantasy and half way romance. The book was great whenever the main character, Mercy, was not dealing with her old fling or her new budding relationship. Mercy is a character that I very much like, being a shape-changing mechanic who owns her own garage. Basic plot: she meets a young werewolf that is attacked in front of her. After killing the attacker, the only thing she can think to do with her charge, she takes him the the local alpha werewolf. Next day, the young one is dead on her door step, the alpha is ripped to shreds, and the alpha’s daughter is missing. Picking up the trail, she goes north to see her adopted father and head alpha of the western hemisphere, and of course her old flame is there. Hilarity ensues, red herrings are found and thwarted, and over all the book was alright. Great as fluff reading on a plane, but I wouldn’t get too invested in it.
