I also giggled every time there was a new fire at the house. I love Aiden and how he pulls Jesse into the story more. There was also the change of an addition of a new character to Mercy and Adam’s world. (This is a very fae-focused story…which isn’t my favorite, but I liked how things are evolving.) 🙁 But Tad and Zee are back in this book and I love that. I have to say although I get it, I was shocked by Bran’s actions. This story brought about some interesting changes for the pack and Mercy and Adam’s life. Gah…I hate the way they continue to treat her as an outsider when she’s done so much for them. Who knew they would eventually end up here? Mercy, as usual, rocks…and I adore that Adam finally, finally stood up for her and how the pack is treating her. I adore this series and this story started out with a great scene…a giant troll on the bridge that brings the pack and Mercy into the very public spotlight as they work together to defeat the troll…and eventually become heroes for humankind. Review #2 Fire Touched audiobook in series Mercy Thompson I purchased this book (twice.technically) and also received this book directly from the publisher for the purpose of providing an honest review.

My frustrations were high throughout Fire Touched, but this is still a world that could fill endless hours of conversations with fellow readers. Military britches would get it.Īs you can see, I am a little of two minds. And this entire ex-wife thing with Christie has to stop. I am so conflicted! Part of me loved the action and world and the other part is weeping for why my favorite bad-ass mechanic is suddenly acting like an idiot. The deeper look inside of the fae innerworkings was a great element in this installment and added a lot to the overall story. There is no way anyone could justify the level of ignorance Mercy displayed multiple times in Fire Touched.īriggs, as always, does a brilliant job at creating vividly haunting new creatures, unforgettable characters and epic moments.

The dang Alpha of Alphas.the master at werewolf politics, so why did Mercy continue to not understand (until it was drawn in kindergarten crayons) how her actions affected everyone else. Character growth in Urban Fantasy is something that this genre does phenomenally well and yet I just feel like Mercy is losing her stuff.

Fire Touched was much more action filled than many of the previous books in the Mercy Thompson series and moved at a quick and steady pace, but I just kept thinking WTF? Fire Touched just did not seem to keep true to who I always felt Mercy was and IS.
