Part of "Mercy Thompson" series
"Blood Bound," by Patricia Briggs, is the second novel in the Mercedes Thompson series, following the successful "Moon Called." The series features Mercedes, or Mercy, a Volkswagen mechanic living in the Tri-Cities area of Washington State. Mercy is also a walker, a Native American magical being who can shift into a coyote. In "Blood Bound," Mercy becomes entangled in the affairs of the local werewolf pack when the pack's Alpha, Adam, asks for her help. A powerful vampire has been bound to Adam, and the vampire's master has been murdered. The master's death has released the vampire from his bond, and he's now a dangerous rogue. Mercy's unique abilities as a walker make her the only one who can track the vampire and prevent a potentially disastrous conflict between the werewolves and vampires. Briggs excels at creating complex, believable characters, and Mercy is no exception. She's tough, smart, and resourceful, but also vulnerable and compassionate. The supporting cast, including Adam and his werewolf pack, is equally well-drawn. The world-building in "Blood Bound" is rich and detailed, blending elements of urban fantasy and mystery. The plot is fast-paced and engaging, with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers guessing. One of the strengths of "Blood Bound" is the way Briggs explores the dynamics of power and authority within the werewolf pack. Mercy's position as an outsider allows her to observe and comment on the pack's hierarchies and social structures, adding depth and nuance to the story. The novel also delves into the history and culture of the local Native American community, adding another layer to the world-building. "Blood Bound" is a satisfying read for fans of urban fantasy and mystery. Its compelling characters, intricate plot, and rich world-building make it a standout in the genre. Whether you're new to the Mercedes Thompson series or a returning fan, "Blood Bound" is a worthy addition to your reading list...
