THE FIRST MERCY THOMPSON NOVEL! Moon Called is the novel that introduced Patricia Briggs’s Mercy Thompson to the world and launched a #1 bestselling phenomenon... Mercy Thompson is a shapeshifter, and while she was raised by werewolves, she can never be one of them, especially after the pack ran her off for having a forbidden love affair. So she’s turned her talent for fixing cars into a business and now runs a one-woman mechanic shop in the Tri-Cities area of Washington State. But Mercy’s two worlds are colliding. A half-starved teenage boy arrives at her shop looking for work, only to reveal that he’s a newly changed werewolf—on the run and desperately trying to control his animal instincts. Mercy asks her neighbor Adam Hauptman, the Alpha of the local werewolf pack, for assistance. But Mercy’s act of kindness has unexpected consequences that leave her no choice but to seek help from those she once considered family—the werewolves who abandoned her... “In the increasingly crowded field of kick-ass supernatural heroines, Mercy stands out as one of the best.”—Locus

A decent start to a series. Very matured and awesomely well written MC. And loved the voice of Lorelei King, what a wonderful narration.
Things I like about this series of books, which maintain the same level of quality:
- The protagonist has two extremely hot werewolves in love with her. Yet it is not a romance. Forget anything like Twilight.
- These werewolves are among the top 5 most powerful of they're kind. Yet it is not an action or even heavy fantasy book.
- Mercy is witty and relatable. She has some supernatural powers, but she is very weak. She uses her intelligence (not the focus though, not that kind of book) and her personality to solve problems.
- When trouble arises, she doesn't hold on to details to herself. THIS IS A HUGE DEAL! I hate plots that revolve around characters withholding vital parts of the problem. If everybody would just speak up their mind, things would get done.
For instance, every now and them she blurts out a synthesis of the plot so far to some other character, like her cop friend or her powerful werewolf neighbor. If things goes wrong, she won't be accused of something she did not do, because she is truthful and upfront about everything. Also her friends know just when/how much they should be worried about her in any given situation.
Found out who the murderer is? Don't keep it to yourself because you're not sure, don't want to worry others or anything like that.
