My submission:
Mercy Thompson #5
by Patricia Briggs
Being a mechanic is hard work. Mercy Thompson, for instance, just spent the last couple of months trying to evade the murderous queen of the local vampire seethe. And now the leader of the werewolf pack, who's maybe-more-than-just-a-friend, has asked for her help. A book of fae secrets has come to light and they're all about to find out how implacable - and dangerous - the fae can be.
OK, so maybe her troubles have nothing to do with the job. But she sure could use a holiday...
Okay, I got this one because it was a harback for only $3! I still need to get and read Iron Kissed and Bone Crossed. Yes, I'm very behind but have more motivation to get going on the series.
So any you bought because you couldn't refuse a good sale? :)
It's shameful to say, really, but I bought four copies of one my favourite books, Many Waters, when it was on sale for $3 because I keep wearing out the cover from re-reading it too much ;) that's fandom for you haha
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when they are on sale... and then don't love it? LOL
DeleteI LOVE THIS SERIES!!! And I definitely can't pass up a good sale. Three dollars for a hardback of a series I love? Yes, please.
ReplyDeleteI know! I also love the Dan Dos Santos covers, so I had to have. :)
DeleteI don't know why, perhaps because of the mix of vampires, werewolf packs and fae, but despite the lead character being a mechanic and not a waitress this kind of puts me in mind of the Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood series.
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean, but for me, it's a whole different kind of world.
DeleteI love this series so much Melissa! I'm behind as well though, I've read this one, but I haven't read River Marked. Have you read about Charles and Anna? I really like them as well.
ReplyDeleteI've only read the C & A short. I have the first of their story though and I so need to get to it as well. So many books... ;)
DeleteOh, I'm bad when it comes to a good sale. I love finding things that I've been wanting...that's always great. I go to my local library book sales a lot though, and that's when I often get into a bit of trouble! haha

I always squee and then curse. Usually because I don't always expect to find thing. We have a library book store that I am forbidden to go into a lot. I wonder why... LOL
DeleteOoh I loved this one! The whole series is amazing and Iron Kissed is still my favorite, but Silver Borne has a special place in my heart because I love Sam's part in the story. Mercy and Adam are always awesome, of course, but I feel like this was Sam's book. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteSAM! Sweet! I can't wait to get caught up!
DeleteDude! Mercy is my gal! I can not wait to read the next book. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get caught up! :D
DeleteYou better get reading
ReplyDeleteI have heard great things about Briggs and need to read her.
ReplyDeleteI will sadly admit I have never read a Briggs book :( I need to get on board huh? lolz
ReplyDeleteI love your "Bad Rap" sticker. I have a Pitt named Bella (Bella-Boo) and she is the BEST doggy.EVER. Except for my Chihuahua Hercules ;)
Both were found on the streets as strays. I am so happy they are in my life, heart, and home now.
I like your site a lot. A lot of fab books reviewed.
Oh, I just LOVED this one! Not as good as Book 3 or 4, but it had some EXCELLENT parts. Book 6 is sadly not up to the mark, but I'm hoping to start Book 7 soon which I hope is back to the usual caliber.
ReplyDeleteI adored this book, Mel! It's quite possibly my favorite of the series (I've read them all. C&A too). As Lauren pointed out, Sam has a pretty big role in this one and I adored it.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was behind, at least I'd have something to look forward to.
I have all the books in the series but I've only read book one. It's scary how many books I want to read that I'll probably never get to.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it would be helpful if I didn't buy anymore. lol
Ooooo great pick! I need to get to this series. *sigh* We have so many books in common! LOL
