Bone Crossed is the fourth installment of the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. I feel compelled to mention this, in case you started the read-along and just motored through the entire Mercyverse without stopping because it is simply that good. The story lines are interesting and informative and each book builds on the […]
We continue our read-along on the Mercy Thompson series, with a review by Carole at Carole’s Random Life in Books: This book left me with all kinds of feelings. I have had a hard time getting it out of my head since I finished it hours ago. This was a re-read for me but […]
I was excited when Anne said she wanted to do a read-along on the Mercy Thompson series. I really love this series. I’ve read most of the books once and then listened probably three times, making this my fourth time listening (for five over all). Patricia Briggs just writes such amazing characters and wonderful […]
I first read the Mercy Thompson series in 2012 and was hooked, binging on all the books then available (books 1-6) in paperback from the library. I have since purchased them all as ebooks. I am excited to be able to read them all through continuously now to keep all the story arcs fresh […]
I chose this series because it is my favorite genre – urban fantasy and one of my favorite series. I wanted a series with 8-12 books. These are mostly available at both of my libraries, in both ebook and audio formats. Some of the other series I considered were less available at libraries, not […]
We have come to the last published book, Fallen, and the end of the Read-along. I can’t express enough how glad I am to have chosen this Alex Verus series. I managed, even with a schedule, to get them all at the library and they were available in ebook and audio. I feel grateful that […]
Gah. It never gets any easier. Alex is busy trying to stay alive and do his “job” on the Council as a junior member. He is working to retrieve artifacts which were stolen from the Vault. He also makes an effort to keep as many alive as he can on either side. But he is […]
Alex has learned how to make some great friends, but he is much better at making enemies. And he has made some doozies. Richard and Mordan are at top of that list (a very long list at that) and they are by far the most dangerous. They are educated, cunning, patient, mysterious and are playing […]
I feel like every great series has that book where the s**t hits the fan and it feels like nothing can go right for the hero. Burned is that book in the Alex Verus series. In sum, Alex gets his burn notice from the Council of Mages in an emergency session led by […]
Alex starts to make some decisions to protect himself and his friends. Luna urges him to try to work with Caldera to become a Keeper. So he tries it. It may or may not make him safer. There are people who want to kill him in the Keepers, in the Council and in the […]
