I also loved how Mercy had plenty of opportunities to use her coyote form and magic. Once the mystery is established and gets going though, things move along at a good clip. While it’s fascinating to watch the way these characters are constantly evolving, sometimes getting through can get a little tedious. Pack dynamics have always been a huge part of this series, and not surprisingly we must spend an inordinate amount of time going through the ins-and-outs of them in every book. This one started slow, weighed down by a lengthy intro precisely because there was so much backstory to cover. There’s no way a new reader can jump on board with any of these later books because there are built upon years of history-and in this case, there are a dozen volumes that came before. This is where I am with Soul Taken right now. The ritual becomes so familiar that you might even be willing to let a few issues slide. The characters are like good friends by now-you know their habits and the relationship dynamics, to the point where you’re just as excited to catch up and hang out with them as you are at getting a new story. There’s something to be said about settling in with the latest book of a long-running favorite series. Does Wulfe have anything to do with this, if he is still alive? Or are there other shadowy forces in play that are responsible? Her good friend Stefan is also gone, and not long afterwards, their community is rocked by a string of disturbing deaths. On top of that, he also has a dangerous fixation on Mercy, giving her and Adam good reason to try to track the vampire down before he can do any more damage, especially since the pack is currently under suspicion for causing his disappearance.īut during the investigation, our protagonist discovers that Wulfe isn’t the only one who has gone messing. After all, having a vicious and possibly insane killer unaccounted for and on the loose can’t be a good thing. In this thirteenth installment of the Mercy Thompson series, the vampire Wulfe has gone missing, sending the Columbia Basin Pack in the Tri-Cities into a tizzy.
