This Mercy Thompson series of books is pretty good. The vampire hype has been huge, but this is more from a shifters point of view, which is sort of refreshing. It does have vampires in it too, for all the vamp lovers...especially this second book of the series. Mercy Thompson is a walker, meaning she can change from human to animal form at will; in this case a coyote. Mercy grew up with werewolves...the governing body werewolves, AKA Marrok, and has a lot of insight. She also happens to be a master VW mechanic, friends with a vampire, and prodigy to the fae...this all leads for an interesting book. Mercy finds herself in some hot water when a sorcerer is turned vampire and her vampire friend enlists her help to track him down.
The wolves and the vampires decide, once they know what the new vampire is, that they shouldn't have Mercy involved anymore, since they know what is best for her and team up to find him. This in an anomaly in itself, since vamp and wolf don't get along...as all well know. Mercy, being the headstrong person she is, does what she feels is best and all hell breaks loose. All in all a good read! A new spin on the vamp/wolf saga and from a new perspective, with some fae in there too. Enjoy!

Two more books
The last two books I read are 'Dead and Gone' by Charlaine Harris and 'Holly's Inbox: Scandal in the City' by Holly Denham. Both were good in their own right.
'Dead and Gone' is part of the Sookie Stakehouse series. It had a completely different twist to it. The series is about the supernatural world melding with our world and how this one person who is straddling the line carefully constantly gets caught in the middle. I think in this one, it went a bit over the top in some aspects though. And I foresee a bit of what is to come...or at least what I believe what is to come. There was a lot of foreshadowing. Some characters were brought back into the picture and made you wonder, what's going on here? Really the job of making the readers want to hang on for another book was well played. I can't wait for the next one.
The book 'Holly's Inbox: Scandal in the City' is book number two by Holly Denham. They are books that are written out in emails. This book had a few pages that were all texts but the rest is just a conversation between people via email. It's a great book for the nosey people of the world who always wondered what someone else's inbox looked like. I enjoyed it because of the characters in the book. The friendly neighbor, odd brothers, Aunty Trish, and friends like Aisha and Jason just make for a book full of laughs. There is also a splash of drama to keep ya enticed.
Enjoy!
