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 ...

So much for slowing down and reading with the Readalong! I'm enjoying this reread so much, I can't stop.

I loved reading the development in Adam and Mercy's relationship and the changes in her bonds to the pack, as well as the mating bond. I had forgotten the pack drama! I find myself picking up on details that I had completely overlooked (or maybe just forgotten). Mercy is healing from my the events of Silver Borne, and it's leaving its mark on their relationship.

I think the real treat, though, was reading this after having read the short story "Silver"! The book makes sense without it, but I understood things involving the fae, the silver borne and Samuel so much better because of having read "Silver".

Noticeably absent are the vampires. Immediately following a book where they were front and center, it was kind of shocking that they aren't in it even a little. But I didn't miss them that much either, maybe stephan a bit.

I love Loreli King as a narrator and she's absolutely perfect for this series. I listen at 2x speed easily with this series.
