Adam's Eyes narrowed. "I don't think so. She is mine."
It would have been flattering, I thought, except that at least one of them was talking about dinner.
Back cover:
Mercy Thompson’s sexy next-door neighbour is a werewolf.
She’s tinkering with a VW bus at her mechanic shop that happens to belong to a vampire.
But then, Mercy Thompson is not exactly normal herself…and her connection to the world of things that go bump in the night is about to get her into a whole lot of trouble
My Opinion: I loved this book. It’s witty, sassy and gripping. Hard to put down, once you started it with plenty of twists and turns…

First book is read. I liked it quiet a lot. Very suspensful, as I said. It´s a very interesting setting! A world where always fae, werewolves, vampires, walkers, gohsts, deamons and who knows what else have existed. Humans don´t know that any more - but are about to find out, due to sience. The lesser fae have already come to the cameralight, and are beeing persecuted, stared at, outsiders ... now a lot of them live in reservations. The other non-humans didn´t reveal themselves yet, but due to the advances in science, they will have to come out of hiding, too soon. Mercy is a walker (meaning she can turn into a coyote - but not like a werewolve - that she has to at full moon or anything like that...)
As I said I liked the book a lot and luckyly I have part two here already!
EDIT 23.09: Loved the book and its successor. When I finally found the time to read the books I finished them during four days. Thanks for the ring!
Update 27.11.07: Wow! I loved the book and am eager to read the following one. For sure a series on which I will keep track. I was reading whenever I could during the last 3 days, because it is written really suspenseful. I like the fantasy-world that was created as it is really witty and I love the characters. I was positively surprised by some turns the plot took at the ending. It seems that the whole thing about werewolves and other preternatural creatures is thoroughly invented and researched. It seemed very plausible to me, what I appreciate a lot.
It's a book I will not forget and think it even possible to buy as I think it possible to read it again and again. Thanks for sharing that wonderful book, Sao-Diego12548!
Update 27.12.2007: wonderfull books (I've already read the follwing one "Blood Bound" too - I simply couldn't stop after book one *g*). I really like the charakters and the setting (a modern world but with all those preternatural beings) ... and the unexpected twists in the story.
Update 04.02.2008: second try. after some delivery problems (the books returned to me last week), they are on its way to rotewolfin again. hopefully everything works fine this time.
Going to ship the two books as soon as I finished both :)
you made me really curious by you enconium via PM, so I skimmed through this on the way back home - and you got me hooked :-( Thaaaanks! A! Lot! When exactly do you think I could ever finish "World without end" (which has been my birthday-present in december), hm?
;-)
Mercy is one of the most charming heroines I've read about for a looong long time, if not ever. I love her addiction to old cars (even if I prefer Land Rovers ;-)) and her permanent struggle to stay independent from her good-looking Alpha neighbour or her handsome dominant puppy love... and, to tell the truth, I'm actually waiting for the smart vampire to join the club of her admirers.
Another thing I liked was the use of German words by Zee, although they sometimes were quite strange to me: e.g. "Metallzauber" or "Schwarzenwald" instead of "Metallzauberer" (I think the author meant a magical person being able to mess around with metal and technical things?) and "Schwarzwald"... or the frequent use of "Liebchen" - that's soooo cute, I haven't heard "Liebchen" for quite a while! But it's absolutely authentic if Zee had lived here at Rhine and Ruhr once. Lovely. If I could rate 11 out of 10, I'd do it.
I will definitely buy my own copies of these for keeping them safe on my shelf and reading again.
But there is one thing I did pity: Mac dying at the beginning of the book. I had just started to like him :-(
I dislike a bit the cover making the books look "cheaper" than they are. Besides... Mercy's Tattoos definitely change from book to book. Coyote-Magic? ;-)

Gute Reise, Buch!
Update 20.06.2009:
OK. I love love love this book. So I will buy one by myself and that speaks for itself ;-) I can't wait to read the other books!
Thanks for this great ring!
Die Henkerin möchte auch weiterhin überprungen werden und J-sama hat sich bisher noch nicht gemeldet(ich glaube sie ist noch nicht wieder zu Hause)...
Da ich gerade mit einem anderen Buch fertig geworden bin, werde ich nun Bd. 1 (Moon Called) noch einmal lesen und freue mich bereits auf die anderen beiden Bände, die bereits bei mir warten gelesen zu werden :-)
Viele Grüße, LittleF
