Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs
CBR Bingo: Series I usually take my time with my urban fantasy series. I like to savor them and read a few worlds at a time. To not let the reviews pile up (again), I usually read one or two books in a row. Not this go round. I’ve read five in a row for the OG Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. I’ve also fallen in love with the first three books in the spin-off Alpha & Omega series. Once I got going, it […]

After reviewing Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson series last year, I have come back for more with CBR13. I can’t seem to get enough!

She keeps to herself mostly until she ends up tangled in werewolf business. Her neighbor happens to be the local were pack Alpha, Adam. With the first four books in the series, Mercy gets into trouble […]

I started the Mercy Thompson series when Moon Called was selected for the VF book club in 2015.

Mercedes (Mercy) Thompson isn’t looking for trouble in the tri-cities area of Washington. […]
Storm Cursed by Patricia Briggs
So. I initially was just going to give this three stars and move along. However, after thinking it through this morning, this book honestly doesn’t deserve 3 stars (okay). This book’s pacing was off, there was about zero character development, too much repetition, and I think at one point I even said to myself that this book was just filler. It’s a book to bridge to the next Alpha/Omega book or the next Mercy Thompson. The book synopsis on this one sounded so bad ass […]
Well I’ll be honest. The main reason why this book is five stars for me is because of the awesome awesome reveal that we get about a character that I was ultimately dismissive of while reading. I ended up having to go back and reread parts of the book though after that reveal and just chuckle to myself. I think long-time readers are going to love it, no spoilers. Until that reveal I was probably firmly in the four-star range territory just because we have […]
