Just another adventure that really didn't MEAN much. This isn't the same writing I got when I read the first Mercy Thompson novel ( Moon Called), and aside from the fear that Patricia Briggs is relying too much on the readers' knowledge of previous books to really let the world shine in this particular one, I worry on a bigger level that she's writing too much, too fast. Yes, Patricia Briggs fans are going to want to read this, but I'm starting to suspect/worry that the quality in Briggs's work is slipping and sliding downhill. Nothing of consequence happens, and that's partially due to the nature of the plot that I'm still trying to work out, because the said premise felt so completely unnecessary, and without said premise, there'd be no book. Give it Away: I say this because it's such a completely forgettable book. And when Anna's attacked by a group of vampires using werewolf magic, both she and Charles have to work together to figure out who's trying to sabotage their mission, and who's trying to eliminate them both. But not everyone's happy with that idea, especially the most powerful werewolf in Europe. The premise: in the second book of this series, Anna and Charles are taking the Marrok's place to represent a controversial new movement: to take the werewolves public.
