I really enjoy an anthology like Instinct Anthology. It provides stories from known authors with more depth on supporting characters or further development of characters or the world. I also get to try authors / series I haven’t before. While some shorts feel underdeveloped or unfinished, a well-written short story is a delight. On the […]

Soul Taken by Patricia Briggs @Mercys_Garage ‏@AceRocBooks ‏@BerkleyPub

I chose the Mercy Thompson series for the Read-along in 2020 and it was an amazing reread for me. With complex plots and mysteries, along with many great characters it was helpful to read from the beginning, all the books close together rather than a year apart. In 2021, we had a book in the […]

Heroic Hearts by Jim Butcher et. al @longshotauthor @Mercys_Garage #AnneBishop @anniebellet @KevinHearne @chloeneill @nancyholder @RealCharlaine @rrvirdi @kerrielhughes @jenniferbrozek

Heroic Hearts is an anthology of stories by some of my favorite authors. Easily, one could read the stories without having read the author’s work before. Of course, if you are familiar with the author’s world and series, it is a further development and additional knowledge. I’ve added an asterisk (*) by the titles […]

Wild Sign by Patricia Briggs @Mercys_Garage ‏@AceRocBooks @PRHAudio ‏@BerkleyPub #LoveAudiobooks

I love this world with the Alpha & Omega series and connected Mercy series which we read for the Read-along in 2020. Shockingly, it has been three years since Burn Bright and I was excited for a new book. I reread the series on audio starting Christmas Day so I was all up to date […]

🎧 Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs @Mercys_Garage #HolterGraham @PRHAudio ‏@BerkleyPub

I’ve been in a bit of a book slump. I’ve been so caught up in what is going on in the world that it is really hard to find anything else that can hold my interest for even just a little while. This is the worst it has ever been for me. My solution was […]

Briggs delivers yet again another amazing story in the Mercy Thompson series. She brought an action-packed tale with hate groups, black witches, friends to enemies, lose, […]

I started the Mercy Thompson series years ago and got to book 8 in just a few weeks. I was out of new books and set the series aside for a while. Fire Touched is the first book of the series that is new to me, maybe that is why I felt like the […]

While this review will be spoiler-free for Night Broken, the 8th book in the Mercy Thompson series there will be some minor series spoilers. Patricia Briggs does an amazing job writing Urban Fantasy with a heroine who’s strong and loyal to a fault and the Mercy Thompson series is a great example of that […]
