They don’t always agree but they can agree to disagree and it never gets boring watching the way the two of them interact with each other – particularly when they’re scared witless that the other one will be hurt. Don’t get me wrong though, this wasn’t a bad read and I did enjoy it for a number of other reasons that had been on my mind in relation to Mercy.įirstly, Mercy and Adam have such a strong relationship. In fact, having read No.10 I can now see that some of this was setting up the premise for future plots. I enjoyed learning more about the whys and wherefores to be honest but I have to confess that the middle of the book felt a little slower than I’m used to compared with the other Mercy books. The end result is that Mercy makes an offer of protection on behalf of the pack and this offer is going to have repercussions.Ī good deal of Fire Touched is about politics, particularly surrounding the fae. The regular police are struggling to contain the situation and the pack and Mercy rush to the scene to offer assistance. The book starts off very dramatically indeed with an explosive situation involving a troll killing humans on a bridge spanning the Columbia River. But who will protect them from a boy who is fire touched?Īs mentioned above I’m not going to go into the plot. And when coyote shapeshifter Mercy and her Alpha werewolf mate, Adam, are called upon to stop a rampaging troll, they find themselves with something that could be used to make the fae back down and forestall out-and-out war: a human child stolen long ago by the fae.ĭefying the most powerful werewolf in the country, the humans, and the fae, Mercy, Adam, and their pack choose to protect the boy no matter what the cost. Tensions between the fae and humans are coming to a head. In terms of both books – these were bought on audible and I really enjoyed listening to both – it’s almost like the narrator listened to the voice of Mercy in my head and plucked it straight out of there – painless thankfully and great to listen to.īe aware that there may be spoilers for earlier books within the series contained below. I’m going to give the synopsis from Goodreads followed by a short overall write up of my own feelings of each one. This double review will take a slightly different format than my usual reviews. Reviews for Fire Touched and Silence Fallen, numbers 9 and 10 in the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs.
Today I’m posting a double whammy, a twofer if you will.
