Welcome to Patricia Briggs's world, a place where "witches, vampires, werewolves, and shape shifters live beside ordinary people" (Booklist). It takes a very unusual woman to call it home and there's no one quite like Mercy Thompson. By day, Mercy is a car mechanic in the sprawling Tri-Cities of Eastern Washington. By night, she explores her preternatural side. As a shape shifter with some unique talents, Mercy has often found herself having to maintain a tenuous harmony between the human and the not so human. This time she may get more than she bargained for. Marsilia, the local Vampire Queen, has learned that Mercy crossed her by slaying a member of her clan and she's out for blood. But since Mercy is protected from direct reprisal by the werewolf pack (and her close relationship with its sexy Alpha), it won't be Mercy's blood Marsilia is after. It'll be her friends'.--Page 2 of cover.

I skipped on the third book because I was so tired of all that Adam/Samuel/Stefan/andWhoKnowsWhoElse-drama. But Mercy finally chose one of them and the story was just funny to read. And I really liked the ghoust-hunting part. Even of there wasn't much of it.
I absolutely love Mercy's attitude and sarcasm. Reading her quips and thoughts makes me laugh and grin every time. I also give a great amount of respect to Patricia Briggs for not turning her books into only about romance and sex. She skims over sex scenes artfully with barely any detail. Perfect! She focuses on her story and plot. Learning more about Walkers in this book intrigued me and also learning more about the manipulative ways of the local vampire seethe. Briggs made sure to have an even blend of all the supernatural creatures in this one and she never fails to impress me with more tidbits being thrown out about each.
