Iron Kissed: Mercy Thompson Series 3


Teaser: As if Mercy hadn't been through enough already, she voluntarily walks into trouble again when her beloved boss and mentor is suspected of murdering members of the Fae community. She sets out to clear his name and finds herself in the worst trouble of her life.

Short Thought: Nail biting plot, and great main character.

Expanded Thoughts: There is really so much going in this novel that you could get whiplash. Not only is Mercy in constant trouble, Zee is a suspected murderer, Adam is trying desperately to keep the Fae at bay, and the real murderer is still on the loose and is highly dangerous.

The setting is opened up in this book. We are given more details about the struggles of the Fae in whether they want to go public. We are shown a part of the Reservation that a lot of Fae call their home. It creates a underlying tension in the whole novel, because every one has a strong opinion on the issue.

I'm going to keep this one short, because I really don't want to give anything away. Let me just say this, the author takes it up another level in this novel when it comes to Mercy. She drives home the fact that Mercy is human, and not some indestructible heroine. She is flawed, vulnerable, and scarred. I am dying to know how the situation will be treated, because it will never be the same.

Additional Notes: This is the 3rd book in the Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs.

Additional Notes: This novel contains dark themes, violence, and sexual scenes.
