Storm Cursed by Patricia Briggs

Storm Cursed (Mercy Thompson, #11)

by Patricia Briggs

In this powerful entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Mercy Thompson must face a deadly enemy to defend all she loves…
 
My name is Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman, and I am a car mechanic.
And a coyote shapeshifter.
And the mate of the Alpha of the Columbia Basin werewolf pack.
 
Even so, none of that would have gotten me into trouble if, a few months ago, I hadn’t stood upon a bridge and taken responsibility for the safety of the citizens who lived in our territory. It seemed like the thing to do at the time. It should have only involved hunting down killer goblins, zombie goats, and an occasional troll. Instead, our home was viewed as neutral ground, a place where humans would feel safe to come and treat with the fae.
 
The reality is that nothing and no one is safe.  As generals and politicians face off with the Gray Lords of the fae, a storm is coming and her name is Death.
 
But we are pack, and we have given our word.
 
We will die to keep it.

My review and an extended sample of the audiobook are posted at Hotlistens.com.

I’m always excited to get back the Mercyverse, be it with Mercy and Adam or Charles and Anna. I love both couples, but this one follows Mercy. In Stormed Cursed, we are back in the Tri-Cities. Mercy’s garage is finally back up and running.

I don’t want to go too much in what happens in this book, not to spoil things for anyone who hasn’t started yet (what are you waiting for, this is amazing series, you’re really missing out).

It was great to see Mercy back with Stephan, Zee, Uncle Mike. There are some new characters that play a larger roll in this story too. Tad plays a larger part and is back working with her at the garage. We even get to see Tad and his dad, Zee fighting together.

Elizaveta and her family plays a large rolls in this story, as black witches want to become the main witches of the Tri-Cities. Needless to say, Mercy has something to say about that.

This story is amazing. It was great seeing so many characters again. I liked seeing some smaller characters have a larger roll. There are some great times and there are some sad times. This book left me reeling. I enjoyed it, but was a bit sad too. It was a perfect story. It makes me want to start over and listen to the whole thing all over again (starting with Moon Called and getting Charles and Anna in there too).

Narration
Lorelei King really nails the narration of this series. She always has. This series is one that helped spur my love of audiobooks. Lorelei King is Mercy for me. I highly recommend King’s stories. If you haven’t listened to her narrate a series, you’re really missing out.

**I'd like to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
