River Marked (Mercy Thompson, #6)

[EBookObsessed]

The time has finally come for Adam and Mercy to say their wedding vows and after a beautiful wedding, they leave to spend several weeks alone on their honeymoon. There is nothing like a little time in the woods for a couple of shifters so they can spent their alone time both in their human forms and in their animal forms.
One of Adam’s clients is opening up a campground and has offered the pre-opened campsite for Adam and Mercy’s personal use and a friend has loaned a camper bigger than Mercy’s trailer for their use. Time away from the garage and from the wolf pack and Adam’s teenage daughter, all of whom are always at Adam’s house, is just what Mercy and Adam need to build on their mating bond and new relationship.

But a vacation for Adam and Mercy just can’t stay a quiet getaway. It seems the fae orchestrated the choice of honeymoon getaways for them based on a premonition had by the owner of the campground. Someone has raised an ancient evil from the bottom of the river and human flesh is its choice diet.

With the help of some local Native Americans, Mercy learns more about her own past and about the River Devil and how to stop it. Except the bait they need to lure it out, seems to be Mercy.

THOUGHTS:
Once again, after the world building has been set up, these stories just move, move, move. We do spend a bit of time going back into Mercy’s life story dealing with her Native American blood and her father and she learns several things that she just wasn’t prepared to learn.

And once again, what happens in this story will have an impact in the next so this is not a series which is easily picked up in the middle.

I definitely recommend picking up Moon Called and starting from the beginning. It is a great series for the paranormal lover.
