Fantasy Book Review: Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs

Like most people who own their own business, I work long hours that start early in the morning. So when someone calls me in the middle of the night, they’d better be dying …Mechanic Mercy Thompson is woken at 3am by a vampire calling in a favour. He has to deliver a message to a fellow undead and needs a witness that won’t be noticed – and Mercy’s shapeshifting abilities make her the perfect candidate. But the assignment turns into a bloodbath and Mercy attracts the attention of not just a powerful vampire, but the even more powerful demon possessing him. She can count on the supernatural community for protection – and alpha werewolf Adam would like her to rely on him in other ways too – but when it comes to being proactive, she’s on her own.

Preita Salyer has reviewed the second book in the of Mercy Thompson series, discovering that Patricia Briggs managed to retain the high standards set in the first book, Moon Called.

“True to books past this newest book by Patricia Briggs is just as brilliant as the last. Now adding a true element of a love triangle as Adam and Samuel posture for Mercy’s affections Patricia Briggs loses none of her energy. Running full throttle through the city, seethe, and even darker shadows the reader is dragged along through vampire politics and deeper mysteries. Engaging and smart Blood Bound is a definite must read.”

The hob in the garage really startled her the first time she met him, but they’ve been good friends ever since. The urge to share her discoveries with the rest of the world led her to writing. She now resides in Washington state.
