Fire Touched

Fire Touched

by Patricia Briggs

Ever since the Fae locked themselves away from everyone after a huge injustice against them, it's been getting more and more tense. Especially since, when the Fae left, they didn't exactly take everyone with them, leaving a few behind to cause trouble.

In the middle of it all, the werewolves, who have been working to maintain peace with both humans and Fae, though maybe not fighting one against the other. 

As the mate of the most visible werewolf pack, Mercy has watched her husband placate the human media, keep in line with the Marrok of the werewolves, and keep an eye on the Fae. His job is made harder by his and Mercy's choices for their own pack.

But things go from tense to breaking when a troll attacks a bridge in Mercy's territory and she calls out to everyone that that territory will be defended against everyone who tries to take it or harm those in it.

Now they have a human with rare powers, a vampire and his Fae friend, and more calling every day, who ask for shelter.

Tense is definitely an understatement.

Final thoughts: Not the best Mercy Thompson book, but definitely good. Maybe I was so excited to read it that I rushed it, or maybe it was rushed, because the end just kind of arrived and I wasn't ready for it. I like seeing the growth and change of all the Fae, and Mercy truly is becoming a part of the pack. I get why Adam is protective of her, but he's also grown enough to know not to get in her way. Overall, it's a solid next step in the series.

Rating: 4/5
