This book was like a fresh breath of air! Seriously, I needed this so bad. I haven't had the best luck with books lately, so thank you Mercy Thompson for breaking that bad book streak! I thought the characters were very interesting and I can't wait to read more about them! Especially Mercy! She was a tough, independent women without being a complete hard ass, I like that. There was definitely a little love triangle thing going on, but not so much so that it took away from the rest of the book. It was a great first book to what I hope will be a very enjoyable series!
