This book relies heavily on knowledge of and emotional investment in the characters. I do not, however, recommend that a new reader to the series begin here. If you have never tried the series, I recommend it highly for those who love urban fantasy and supernatural fiction featuring werewolves, vampires, faeries and shape shifters. If you checked the series out and didn’t dig on it before, that won’t change. Basically, if you’re a fan of these books, you will like this one. It continues the story of the characters we’ve come to know and love. The pack will do all they can to protect the fugitive, but the greater concern may be keeping themselves protected from him.įire Touched has all the elements that fans love about the Mercy Thompson books. Mercy and the pack must now face off with the leaders of the fae–the ones who sent the troll and who want their lost “property” returned. This act creates ripples and a very real possibility of war with the fae. Following the incident, Mercy makes a very public declaration that she and the wolves will continue to defend their territory from any threat as well as offer sanctuary to anyone they choose, including the individual that the monster (a troll, it turned out) was sent to recover. She and her husband’s werewolf pack are called to help the local police deal with a fae monster who is causing death and destruction on a nearby bridge. In this book, Mercy has recovered from the near-fatal events of Night Broken, which was released two years ago. While it lives up to its predecessors and continues the trend of being awesome, there is one little down-side. Fire Touched is the ninth book in Patricia Briggs’s best-selling series. This latest installment is just one more. 'I enjoyed every minute of it.I’ve written before about the reasons to love the Mercy Thompson book series.
