Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs

Silver Borne (Mercy Thompson, #5)

by Patricia Briggs

Being a mechanic is hard work. Mercy Thompson, for instance, just spent the last couple of months trying to evade the murderous queen of the local vampire seethe, and now the leader of the werewolf pack - who's maybe-more-than-just-a-friend - has asked for her help. A book of fae secrets has come to light and they're all about to find out how implacable - and dangerous - the fae can be. OK, so maybe her troubles have nothing to do with the job. But she sure could use a holiday ...

Kickstarting June with a re-read of this lovely! I have two more books to read in this re-read before I continue with the books I haven't read int the Mercy Thompson world!

Anyways, this one is one of my absolute favorites. We've got Adam and Mercy relatively secure in their relationship--and this book cements that and deals with the last remnants of the unease.

We've also reached the end of the Samual storyline in that we finally tackle head first his issue and solve it. The first time around I was kind off iffy on the fact Ariana came out of nowhere, since Samual never mentioned her before so it felt like an easy out for him BUT in this re-read I kind of realized that, considering the book was given to Mercy two books ago, Briggs probably knew what she wanted to do with it from way back.

I also enjoyed the Gabriel storyline, in as much as I think it's super important to see THAT side of things as well. Since we spend most of our time with Werewolves, Fae and Vampires, we kind of tend to forget that to everyone else... they're scary monsters they don't really understand.

Anyways, really enjoyed this re-read, as evident by the fact I re-read it in a day ;)
