Still going strong! It’s a pretty rare thing for a series to really hold on to its spark after nine installments. But this one does it.

It Never Gets Old Reading Top Shelf Quality Books and This Is One Of The Best The Mercy Thompson series has been one of my favorites since I picked up book 1 several years ago.

This latest incarnation is no different but the plots are becoming deeper, the interpersonal relationships are becoming more involved and add depth to these stories. I can tell you I read this book in 1 day, I could not put it down.Â
