 Rating:  - A Wonderful SeriesI picked up the third volume of the Mercy Thompson series in the library and loved it. I picked up another of her books through Amazon and realized that I loved that book too. So I bought all three of the books in this series so I could own them and read the series from the beginning. I expected the first two books to be less well written than the third one, but I was wrong. All of the books in this series, and the related Alpha and Omega series are very well crafted. And reading the ... Read More Rating: - Wow! What a Great paranormal series! Yes, I did read Moon Called, the first in the series & loved it! Why write the review for the second book? Because it really rocked me. Moon Called successfully shows Briggs as an inventive, captivating storyteller w/ intriguing characters in an interesting world.

But in this book, it focuses on the vampires, and in particular ... Read More Rating: - Great Addition, Superb Writing!Book Two, "Blood Bound", of the Mercy Thompson story is just as good as the first book, while expanding the world Mercy inhabits. In "Moon Called", Mercy is called upon to repay her debt to Stefan, her vampire friend who helped in the first book. When dealing with vampires and other supernatural creatures, repaying debts is important. Honor matters. Mercy repays the debt, but ends up getting more than she bargained for, as usual. What is nice about this novel is that mercy really doesn't want to be ... Read More Rating: - Another Winner in an Exceptionally Strong SeriesThis series is so strong and chock-a-block with interesting characters, backstories, settings, etc., that it makes me want to write the author and beg her to write faster. I noticed that she stepped away from this series to create another book, but I'm anticipating that means the next book in THIS series will only be better. We have the expected paranormal background--the outsiders inching towards a place in society--but the spin on this series is the level of detail in Western European myths (world of the fae, ...
