(A.K.A. Moon Called – A Quick Review)
Okay, so when I got this book, I looked at the cover and said, WTF? Is this Poison Album or an Urban Fantasy novel with a strong female protagonist?
Luckily for me (and you) it is the later.
Patricia Briggs has created in Mercedes Thompson, an interesting taking on the Werewolf ethos. Mercy, her nickname, is a skinwalker, a native shapeshifter who takes the form of a coyote. She was abandoned by her mother when very young and fostered by a werewolf pack.
A VW mechanic by profession, this first novel of the series, finds her being pulled into a fight when the local werewolf alpha is attacked and his daughter is kidnapped. She is forced to reach out to old friends and allies and negotiate with the local vampire group (kind of like the supernatural mafia) in order to save the day.
Good book, moves well and doesn’t get bogged down in sex like some other contemporary offerings. This is one case where you shouldn’t judge the book by its cover.
