Ok, got started on yet another Urban Fantasy series:


The first of the Mercedes "Mercy" Thompson series. Mercy is a skin walker who can change into a coyote, but not a lycanthrope or "werecoyote" who lives in the Tri-Cities area of Washington state.

Mercy must rescue the Alpha of the local werewolf pack and his young daughter, after they are taken by a band of humans and werewolves who are testing new medical drugs on werewolves. While helping Adam she must ask the Marrok, the leader of all North American werewolves, for help and encounters an old flame, Samuel Cornick, who decides to move back to the Tri-Cities with Mercy in an effort to win her back.

Fun read and will probably be liked by fans of the "Hollows" series by Kim Harrison or the "Dresden Files" by Jim Butcher.

I'd give this one a solid 7/10. Lays out the ground rules for how her version of werewolves, vampires, fey folk, etc... function and introduces the main characters nicely. A little lacking in story development, but it's obvious it's the beginning of a series and some of what's presented is foreshadowing for future story arcs.
