It's been a year or two since I read the first book in this series, and from what I remember of it, I think I like this one a little better. Credit where it's due, I thought the villain here was very creepy, and I do enjoy the politics and backbiting that exists within the vampire seethe and the werewolf pack. I also enjoy Mercy, whenever she's not complaining about her love life. Complaining about that is my job: the love quadrilateral going on here, where she is pursued by two werewolves and one vamp, is so ridiculous that I roll my eyes whenever it comes up. Mercy is much more entertaining when she's navigating the paranormal underworld, running her mechanic business, or exploring her own were-coyote powers while not being weighted down by polygons. As if love triangles weren't bad enough!
