Description
THE FIRST MERCY THOMPSON NOVEL!
Moon Called is the novel that introduced Patricia Briggs’s Mercy Thompson to the world and launched a #1 bestselling phenomenon...
Mercy Thompson is a shapeshifter, and while she was raised by werewolves, she can never be one of them, especially after the pack ran her off for having a forbidden love affair. So she’s turned her talent for fixing cars into a business and now runs a one-woman mechanic shop in the Tri-Cities area of Washington State.
But Mercy’s two worlds are colliding. A half-starved teenage boy arrives at her shop looking for work, only to reveal that he’s a newly changed werewolf—on the run and desperately trying to control his animal instincts. Mercy asks her neighbor Adam Hauptman, the Alpha of the local werewolf pack, for assistance.
But Mercy’s act of kindness has unexpected consequences that leave her no choice but to seek help from those she once considered family—the werewolves who abandoned her...
“In the increasingly crowded field of kick-ass supernatural heroines, Mercy stands out as one of the best.”—Locus
Reviews
Solid Read!
5By Zara707Great first installment of a long series. I really felt connected with Mercy within the first few chapters. Briggs kept race, sex, and sexuality tasteful in here which is pretty hard to come by these days. I enjoyed each character and I cannot wait to see what Mercy and her 2 alpha males get into next! Briggs, you just gained another fan!I love it

5By CindyFFDI really liked this book. It can be slow at some points but overall it’s worth it. I love the Mercy universe.YES!
5By UrbanFantasyObsessedI love the main character of Mercy. Her moral compass always points north but she’s funny and snarky enough to be relatable. Hope this series never ends!Love it

5By NerdybyrdLove, love, LOVE this series!!!! Patricia Briggs is absolutely brilliant! I love her style of writing because she seriously has the talent to balance the right amount of emotion in everything from serious, to funny, sassy, sweet, intense, etc. And she makes her characters come alive, and feel so real, I just can’t get enough of Mercy and the gang.Friends
5By math wizardAn excellent well written story. Mercy and friends have a mystery to solve. Yes, there is action, magic, mystery and romance. Some humor but I really enjoyed the interaction between Mercy, Adam, and Samuel. Let's not forget that there even vampires involved and one with a Scooby Doo sense of humor. I really enjoyed the book and plan on reading the next I the series. I would tell more but I really hate to spoil a good book for the reader!Grammar errors and tense mix ups.
3By JuniAveraThe writer stumbles over stiff prose and tense inaccuracies, making the excitement of the story fall flat. Character development is low, which creates confusion whenever she adds a new character. But the story is decent, and it's a fun read for what it is.
