Blood Bound-Patricia Biggs

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!
