Five Caffeinated Reasons to snag a copy of Shifting Shadows: Stories from the World of Mercy Thompson

1. If you love the Mercy Thompson series, you will love how Briggs’ weaves in tales about secondary characters, fleshing them out, sharing their beginnings and increasing our knowledge of their world.

2. The stories are placed in chronological order and with each tale Brigg’s gives us the details on why she wrote it, for whom and when it took place. I found these little commentaries fascinating.

3. Each novella is well developed with a beginning, middle and end. Even though they were short, I was satisfied at the close of each.

4. Non-Mercy readers can still enjoy these stories and get a taste for both the author and the Mercy Thompson series.

5. The collection contains tidbits of information including those secondary characters you were curious about and more. I have not read Briggs’ Alpha and Omega series, but she shares a short story that had me buying book one, and I actually squealed with excitement.
