In the New York Times best-selling Mercy Thompson novels, the coyote shapeshifter has found her voice in the werewolf pack. But when Mercy’s bond with the pack – and her mate – is broken, she’ll learn what it truly means to be alone….
Attacked and abducted in her home territory, Mercy finds herself in the clutches of the most powerful vampire in the world, taken as a weapon to use against alpha werewolf Adam and the ruler of the Tri-Cities vampires. In coyote form Mercy escapes – only to find herself without money, without clothing, and alone in the heart of Europe.
Unable to contact Adam and the rest of the pack, Mercy has allies to find and enemies to fight, and she needs to figure out which is which. Ancient powers stir, and Mercy must be her agile best to avoid causing a war between vampires and werewolves, and between werewolves and werewolves.

Another great addition to the series.

I don’t want to spoil anything that happens, but she has a few little twists in there, and this book is *not* about Adam, it’s mostly Mercy on her own in a lot of hot water. It felt kind of disjointed, but I think that’s normal…
Mercy and Adam Have a European Adventure. Loved it! When beaten down and desperate, Mercy is at her best.

The ‘why’s behind a deadly vampire’s actions are as intriguing as the ‘how’s behind Mercy’s desperate escape across Europe and Adam’s relentless pursuit to bring back his mate alive and safe. I’m warning you now to clear your schedule from the moment you start this one because you…
New characters, new places, no attachments and word vomit. Well, 2 years to wait for a book that is 50% filler and word vomit and costs twice as much as it should have and I am really disappointed. At best this should have been condensed into a novella and heavily edited to not need so much expository writing that actual ferreted out the plot instead of just reciting it like the outline I am sure Briggs laid out for this book.Â
