** spoiler alert ** 
 No. No. No. As readable as the Mercy Thompson series is, I am just not down for rape being used as a throwaway plot line. You can't make a light and fluffy paranormal romance and insert a rape and treat it as casually as you would a shoplifting incident. Just no. It's just shitty to deal with such a topic in such a light way; it changed the tone of the series, but then a switch simply flipped it right back. If you want to write a story about how wrong rape is, and how women feel guilt and blame for it, then do that, but don't insert it into a completely inappropriate series, and have the woman get over it after a brief mope. 
 YUCK. Wish I had trusted some of the other reviews.
