Solid Plot

Smoke Bitten (Mercy Thompson, #12)Smoke Bitten by Patricia Briggs
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mercy has a lot on her plate and more than one someone is after her. There are some really interesting additions to this series in Smoke Bitten. Adam is having trouble, a new wolf pack is trying to take over and Underworld is up to something. Some things are solved and some are hanging. A good solid plot arc with more to come.

Book Beginnings and The Friday 56 - April 24, 2014


I'm linking up with Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings and Freda's Voice for Page 56. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Pick the closest book on your book stack and join the fun.

The Beginning:

Silver Borne (Mercy Thompson, #5)"The starter complained as it turned over the old Buick's heavy engine. I felt a lot of sympathy for it since fighting outside my weight class was something I was intimately familiar with."

Page 56: 

"Showing me his weakness was a sign of trust. Under normal circumstance, that trust would mean I was safer with him."

From Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs. This is book 5 in the Mercy Thompson series. I started reading the Charles and Anna spin off from this series and then went over and read the current Mercy books. Now I am still going back and reading the first five that I missed. Sometimes this does not work well but with this series it is keeping my interest and making me want to go back and re-read the latest books.

Night Broken (Mercy Thompson #8) by Patricia Briggs

Paranormal Romance

From Goodreads:

An unexpected phone call heralds a new challenge for Mercy. Her mate Adam’s ex-wife is in trouble, on the run from her new boyfriend. Adam isn’t the kind of man to turn away a person in need—and Mercy knows it. But with Christy holed up in Adam’s house, Mercy can’t shake the feeling that something about the situation isn’t right.

Soon, her suspicions are confirmed when she learns that Christy has the farthest thing from good intentions. She wants Adam back and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen, including turning Adam’s pack against Mercy.

Mercy isn’t about to step down without a fight, but there’s a more dangerous threat circling. Christy’s ex is more than a bad man—in fact, he may not be human at all. As the bodies start piling up, Mercy must put her personal troubles aside to face a creature with the power to tear her whole world apart.

In Night Broken Mercy has to deal with are new and unusual actions and people.  Look for Coyote, Adam’s ex-wife Christy, Mercy's half-brother and a new monster to make Night Broken another exciting read.  Much of this book focuses on Christy and her actions.  She is out to replace Mercy and has the backing of some of the pack.  At first it looks like she will get the better of Mercy.  Not with Adam but with the pack.  Then Mercy does get her own.  That walking stick is also back and plays a part in the story line.  You can also look for a new and unusual member of the pack.

The book did have some flaws.  I kept hoping Adam would step in and take his pack to task for how they were reacting to Christy and that he would make it plain the Christy that he did not approve of her actions.  I did not like the ending.  The book just stopped.  Not how I like to see a book end.

I think you could read Night Broken as a stand alone but don’t.  It is better if you have read at least some of the previous books.

Ace Books released Night Broken by Patricia Briggs in 2014.  The release is in hardcover and ebook.

My book this week is Night Broken (Mercy Thompson #8) by Patricia Briggs.

The Beginning:

"The phone rang while I was elbow-deep in sudsy dishwater."

Page 56:

"I understand," Adam said. "But I'd prefer to bring you into the pack as soon as possible for your safety. My wolves won't bother you, but there are other things running around town that might if you don't have pack protection."
