Review: River Marked (Mercy Thompson #6) by Patricia Briggs


4 stars for River Marked (Mercy Thompson book 6) by Patricia Briggs.

The events in River Marked take place a short distance from Mercy's usual hangout in the Tri-Cities. While looking for a nice place to honeymoon and relax with Adam, Mercy gets herself and her mate implicated in a series of complicated endeavors. Besides the risky undertakings that smoke of powerful magical creatures and heaps of fast-paced action fighting, readers are granted glimpses of Mercy's innermost feelings as she longs for her missing father and coming to terms with what the Coyote reveals.

After the last two remarkably fabulous stories in the series, it would be untruthful to say that I am not disappointed with River Marked. While I agree that book 6 is still a well written fantasy tale with good storyline, I feel that it somehow lacks the distinctive punch delivered in the prior few. Or perhaps my own expectations of this series has risen much along with the folklore developments.

All in all, River Marked is still a good and enjoyable read.

Car mechanic Mercy Thompson has always known there was something different about her, and not just the way she can make a VW engine sit up and beg. Mercy is a shapeshifter, a talent she inherited from her long-gone father. She's never known any others of her kind. Until now.

An evil is stirring in the depths of the Columbia River-one that her father's people may know something about. And to have any hope of surviving, Mercy and her mate, the Alpha werewolf Adam, will need their help...
