** spoiler alert ** 
 I loved Mercy, she was an extremely hilarious and sarcastic. She was able to hold her own in society dominated by males, and stil get her way. She is a complicated character, with an unclear connection as to how she's a walker, and deep roots with werewolves. She has no female friends except Adams younger daughter, and has friends in almost every race of preternatural. She draws the reader to just fall in love with her persistence and intuition in her world. 
 She lives in this strange world where people know that the preternatural is not just in stories, and this makes the story more intriguing than if it was just in the world we walk through. Patricia Briggs does a good job of presenting how many people would react to learning that paranormal beings actually exist in the world. 
 The male characters in the book are just as brilliant as Mercy herself. Theres Tony the amazing undercover human cop, Zee the gremlin with an unknown, but long past, Samuel the wolf who was a doctor and mysterious (I could say more, but don't want to ruin too much), Adam an Alpha and next door neighboor to Mercy, Mac a newly changed werewolf and without a home, and more... 
 Just read it because it's funny, action packed, sad, and frustrating.
