Book Reviews of Moon Called (Mercy Thompson Series, Book 1)
Book Review: Excellent Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellently written book with believable setting and characters. Some laugh out loud moments and so well written that I found myself reading selections out loud to my husband, who was eagerly waiting to get his hands on it. I'm off to the bookstore this morning to find books 2 and 3. For fans of Kim Harrison, this is as gripping and interesting and startlingly real as her Dead Witch Walking. Highly Recommended.Book Review: Wow! Just ... wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
I friend loaned this book to me, and I am so thankful she did. I was engrossed into the story in the first 10 pages, and it was gripping until the very end. I have the next 2 books on my nightstand, and I'll be starting book 2 tonight.
Others have already given a great breakdown of the plot, and I do not want to give too much away. It is a multi-storied arc that will keep you guessing to the end.
Book Review: A book worth reading
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE the Mercy Thompson books.I first found out about it on Amazon.It sounded really interesting so I ordered it.I find that Patricia Briggs is a great author for coming up with a story like this one.It has all the great mythical creatures that are said to be myths and legends.But here some of those so called myths and legends reveal themselves under the orders of the Grey Lords.The ones who are in charge of the Fae,the beings who are great and unimaginably powerful.
Moon Called:
I love this story because of who and what Mercy is.She is a Walker.A Walker being someone who can change there form into the Coyote at will.A Walker who was raised by a Werewolf and not just any Werewolf but the Marrok himself.The Marrok is THE Alpha,the leader of all Werewolves.Mercy maybe being the last of her kind because she doesn't know of any others living around her area.No one really knows much about the Walkers or if there is any of them left other than Mercy.Having been hunted and killed by the Vampires years ago.Because Mercy,like all other Walkers she is immune to some forms of magic and more because they can talk to ghost,for that reason the Vampires felt threatened.She is surrounded by Werewolves and others mythical creatures.Mercy is a loner,not being Fae or a Werewolf it is dangerous for one such as her.If it wasn't for Adam the local Alpha Mercy would have been dead a long time ago.Adam claims her as his mate(under the orders of the Marrok,Mercy unaware of that oder)which gives her protection,him being the Alpha of the local pack.Adam's claim on her is real to him,his wolves believe that his claim on her is just for her protection from them and other wolves,knowing that while she has that they can't touch Mercy without being dealt with by Adam.
I love how she has this little love triangle going on with herself,Adam(the local Alpha), and Sam(the Marrok's son).Which is pretty dangerous seeing as how Adam and Sam are both Dominant and if she doesn't choose one things can get serious.Who should she choose?...Samuel her first love that she still has feelings for?...of Adam who she finds very attractive and dangerous because she can't control herself when around him.
A new wolf comes by her shop looking for a job not knowing what Mercy really is.But with her strong nose and knowing their scent she knows what Mac is.Being curious she gives him the job to see how things turn out unknowingly getting involved in Werewolf business.A man and werewolf come looking for Mac have finally been able to track him down to Mercy's garage.Having killed a werewolf and needing the mess to be cleaned up Mercy must call Adam(the Local Alpha)and let him know what is going on.Adam takes in Mac to train him in how to control his wolf.Adam is attacked at his own home his daughter is taken and Mac is left dead on Mercy's porch as a warning to stay away.Adam is hurt and his daughter is missing.This is a big mystery as to who exactly behind all this.Mercy and the rest of Adam's pack are doing everything they can to find Jesse.Adam suddenly drives off after getting a phone call no one knowing where he has gone.Now Adam is missing as well and Mercy receives help from someone who knew Adam before they were turned when they were in the military,the one now helping Mercy was up until now apart of all the trouble that has been going on.

Summary: 4 Stars
This book was awesome! I love the world Mercy seems to live in and I enjoyed learning about Bran and Adam's packs. I have a feeling I am really going to enjoy this series. The writing is well done, better than a lot of the writing in this genre. The story moved along at a great pace. I read that Patricia Briggs signed on for 7 books in this series, and I think that many different plots could spawn from the characters in this book. I can't wait to learn more about Stephan (which it looks like I will in the next book)and some of the other characters as well. I was addicted to Laurell K's first half of the Anita Blake series and then I just became increasingly disappointed. Here's to some fresh blood! I feel hopeful for the future of this series.
