Iron Kissed

Part of "Mercy Thompson" series

"Iron Kissed" by Patricia Briggs is the third book in the Mercedes Thompson series, an urban fantasy collection that blends elements of mystery, romance, and the supernatural. In "Iron Kissed," Mercedes Thompson, a Volkswagen mechanic who also happens to be a walker (someone who can shift between human and coyote form), finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation when the local grey lord, Adam Hauptman, asks for her help in determining whether a member of his clan is responsible for the death of a human. As Mercedes delves deeper into the case, she uncovers a web of secrets and lies that threaten to destroy the fragile peace between the human and supernatural communities in the Tri-Cities area of Washington State. One of the strengths of "Iron Kissed" is Briggs' world-building, which is both detailed and imaginative. The supernatural creatures that populate the story, including werewolves, vampires, and fae, are well-developed and believable, and the rules that govern their behavior are consistently applied throughout the series. Mercedes is a compelling protagonist, smart, resourceful, and fiercely independent, and her relationships with the other characters, particularly Adam and her friend and fellow mechanic, Samuel, add depth and complexity to the story. The plot of "Iron Kissed" is fast-paced and engaging, with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers guessing. Briggs does an excellent job of building tension and creating a sense of danger and urgency, and the climax of the story is both thrilling and satisfying. Overall, "Iron Kissed" is a strong addition to the Mercedes Thompson series, and a must-read for fans of urban fantasy. Its well-developed characters, intricate plot, and imaginative world-building make it a standout in the genre...
