Every book in this series is straight up five stars!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I ❤️ Mercy, Adam and the whole gang so much!!! When Adam finally told the pack to back off Mercy or die ❤️❤️❤️ loved it! This series deserves so much more hype!

ravenlee One of the best series, definitely. I‘m devouring Soul Taken at the moment. And considering a whole-series reread sometime soon because they‘re all so good. 9mo

This story felt short & quick-paced, but it was a welcome return to Mercy's world. The characters still feel like old friends and it's nice to see how they grow & change (especially Jesse in this one), and how they stay exactly what I missed. After all the obstacles are set up so well, the solutions almost felt a little too neat. At the same time, they were clever & used the characters at their best. I always come out of these books wanting more.

Another great installment of Mercy. This one has more Baba Yaga, always fun, and introduced Aiden. 🖤☠️

And after increasing my GR reading goal 2x already, I just decided to let it stand at 182. So huzzah! 🎉

Book 14 for #screamathon and #scarathlon #teamharkness

Book 3 for #outstandingOctober

And another 10hrs for #littenlisten audiothon & #october24in4

Plus several other challenges and readathons. 🎃

Leniverse @Bookworm54 The Mercy books and the Alpha and Omega books refer to each other a bit, so I recommend reading them according to timeline, although it's not super important. But by the time of Fire Touched the evens of four A&O books have already taken place. 3y

1. I just finished the tagged, Black Magic Kitten, and Horrid.
2. The tagged featured Baba Yaga & Black Magic Kitten is a cozy featuring a witch.
3. No, I‘m not big on watching TV when I can read. But I might on Halloween weekend.

Took some time off in lieu today and finished my book ☺️
This is the last book in my Mercy re-read, so the next ones are brand new! I am so excited! Have to wait another year for smoke bitten though (I get the paperbacks 😋)

I quite like this one, underhill is an interesting place, that I would like to read more about.

I've almost caught up on this reread. The new book is out in a week and I can't wait! This was another one with the fae as the baddie, with Mercy and Adam fixing things for everyone. And it starts with a pretty dramatic scene.

Lots of fave characters, including love-to-hate Christy, make an appearance. I also love that things are heating up politically and we get a lot more about the fae in this book. This book does a good job of keeping the story contained in one book while still really situating the story in a changing world. Hard to do so far into a series, but really done well.

I finished Fire Touched today. Not the best entry in the Mercy Thompson universe, but I still enjoyed it as I do all of Briggs‘ books. Also finished a re-listen to Alpha & Omega and Cry Wolf. PHOTO CREDIT- David Moynahan

I LOVE Mercy Thompson-Hauptman 💕

It‘s true she tends to get herself into trouble (sometimes quite spectacularly), but with so many friends willing to have her back it usually turns out okay.

I enjoyed seeing more of the tibicena and Baba Yaga in this one, and less of Adams ex-wife. She is such a *#

New year, new book, old series. Slightly confused since the creature on the front of this book looks like the creature from the last book but still excited anyway. I wish Book ten was in paperback already so I could buy it...

I hadn‘t been enjoying the last couple books in the series quite as well as usual, but I felt like this one put everything back on track. It was plot driven, fun and exciting and as usual, I loved all the characters! Hopefully book 10 continues in the same vein!

Adam Hauptmann is my book boyfriend 😍 I love the trust that he and Mercy have.

In other news, I survived working Black Friday. My back hurt so bad I could barely walk by the time my shift was over, but I survived. And I get to do it all again tomorrow 😒

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Nooo! Why? 😕 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa And I agree, Adam from this series and Curran from Kate Daniels are my favorite two book boyfriends. They let their ladies be badasses in their own right too. 👍 6y

Much needed bathtub recovery from my hectic thanksgiving... Lane was teething and miserable, baby girl is giving me heartburn (and I didn‘t even over eat!)

I haven‘t decided which of these I‘m going to start, or if I even have the energy to do more than just lay here. I dread working Black Friday tomorrow

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Good luck tomorrow, and both are fun reads, no losers there!👍 6y

Spent the last two days at a super relaxing quilting retreat! Finished this book which was great! Lots of fae which always fascinates me. Can't wait to read the next one! Patty Briggs is my favorite author of adult books, specifically the Mercy books.

Only one more left until I'm caught up in this series. This one was good. Not as much pack but more from newer characters Joel and Aiden. Briggs does a great job of keeping things fresh and exciting by introducing new characters as she goes along. Not sure if the current one (just out last month) will be the last one in series or not. #romantsy #osrbc

I absolutely love Mercy! I was a little bored with some of the meetings with the fae but other than that this was a great read. I really enjoyed the addition of Joel in the pack and I look forward to seeing more of Aiden. I love all the Mercy Thompson/Alpha and Omega covers but this is by far my favorite😁

Well, I didn't make it this time. I had a lot of fun though, and will definitely try again next time. I finished two books, almost done with this one, and made good progress on two others. Pretty happy overall. I so enjoyed reading everyone's posts. Congrats to everyone who reached their goal! #24in48 #readathon

I seem to be on a re-reading kick and Fire Touched is good enough that this is my third time reading it. Briggs did a great job of moving the world she built forward along with some essential character growth.

iread2much I completely agree! And I love how this series and the alpha and omega series build on each other 7y

Moving swiftly on, and hoping very strongly that there is no Christy in this next book! 😬

Bookworm54 Not much in this one! I loved Fire Touched. There were some parts that made me laugh out loud. If you don't like Christy, she does feature prominently in Night Broken, but don't let her put you off! There are some lovely bits to the book :) 8y

one of my favourite series. i love so many of the characters & appreciate how Ms Briggs is expanding the world-building. sometimes, i wince at the shades of cultural appropriation, but, well, i can't quit now. im sorry. i love Mercy too much.

Lizpixie Another of my favourite fantasy series. Mercy, Adam & Zee are brilliant, plus the Scooby Doo of vampires, Stefan.👻🐕🐾 8y
