Bone Crossed (A Mercy Thompson Novel)

Staff Pick

Mercy Thompson is one of my favorite urban fantasy/romance characters, and I love Bone Crossed, book four of the series. Having finally made her choice between her two would-be lovers, Mercy agrees to help an old friend with a ghost problem. As usual, trouble ensues, and there is more to the friend's request than meets the eye. Patricia Briggs keeps Mercy fresh and as kick-ass as ever — plus, it's great to see Mercy finally succumb to her heart's desire!

After reading the first four and waiting literally FOREVER (okay, a week) for this one to come in the mail, I was more than ready to delve back into the world of Mercy Thompson. Let me tell you, Bone Crossed, book 4 in the Mercedes Thompson series definitely does not disappoint.

I love Mercy because she is such a strong female character. She's not overly attractive or overly powerful. She's strong in her femininity and the way she exists as a survivor. She doesn't let the little things keep her down and is always ready to hand out a little butt kicking when it is needed.

In Bone Crossed, Briggs continues the story line started in Iron Kissed. I won't go too far into that as I wouldn't want to divulge any spoilers, but let me say that Briggs does it in a fantastically tactful way. Through her stories she shows us the true power of the female spirit and how even under horrific circumstances, everyone can find that little spark within themselves that signifies a survivor.

Mercy, a Walker, can shift into a coyote at will. Raised and now courted by werewolves, she lives a hazardous life trompsing through a supernatural world, all the while maintaining herself as an awesome mechanic. In Bone Crossed we learn a little bit more about the Mercy Thompson world and more specifically about the vampires that threaten Mercy's existence. Will she perish? Will she be able to protect those she cares about or will she be doomed to suffer their deaths?
