Frost Burned (Mercy Thompson, #7)

by Patricia Briggs

MERCY THOMPSON: MECHANIC, SHAPESHIFTER, FIGHTER

Mercy Thompson's life has undergone a seismic change. Since becoming the mate of Alpha werewolf Adam and stepmother to his daughter Jesse, her life finally seems to be calming down. But after an accident in bumper-to-bumper traffic, Mercy suddenly can't reach Adam or the rest of the pack. All she knows is that Adam is angry and in pain.

With the werewolves fighting a political battle to gain acceptance from the public, Mercy fears Adam's disappearance may be related - and that the pack is in serious danger. Outclassed and on her own, Mercy may be forced to seek assistance from any ally she can get, no matter how unlikely.

Another great Mercy adventure! I admit it took a while for me to really click with this one, up until the time familiar faces finally showed on page. Namely, the queen Kyle. I love Kyle. I would 100% read a spin-off with Warren and Kyle as our mains. Just saying. It could be completely separate from wolf business; maybe one of the cases that required Kyle to shelter someone in his house. Just suggesting!

With every Mercy novel that I read, I fall more and more in love with Ben. He needs a mate. Also, I find it really funny that Briggs TELLS us about his bad qualities, but she rarely SHOWS them. He must be a favorite of hers because even in the first book he came across more as funny and sort of rude than anything Mercy describes him as. But I digress.

Mercy and Adam are #relationshipgoals, as always, and by this point, I am really worried for a time they finally have kids because... man, Mercy CANNOT stay out of trouble! Still, I really want to see them deal with that--and see how Briggs potentially scales that hurdle of putting Mercy in danger but not *so* much danger as to hurt the baby.

Don't really have much else to say. A really solid installment in the series, I loved all the characters and was DEVASTATED by The Death. Also, I like Hao and I am still confudeled by Wulfe as a whole.
