Patricia Briggs has not only awakened her usual adult readers, she sent out wolf call to young adult readers who love their werewolves in this first installment of “The Mercy Thompson Series”, Mercedes “Mercy” Thompson the Volkswagen mechanic. Mercy is the mechanic with an uncanny ability to shift forms as easy as taking a breath and finding trouble or chaos with the next.
Early on we get a sneak peeks of Adams feeling for Mercy upon his arrival when he declares Mercy to be His. With the declaration made the sparks fly as the tension grows when both Adam and Mercy throw the verbal gauntlet at one another. The raw passions you can feel burning between the two leaps off the page at you and leaves you eager for more.
My absolute favorite and will read again and again. I strongly recommend! It has outstanding qualities. The characters are wonderful and surprising and multi-dimensional. The writing is luring, engaging, and well-crafted enough to keep me interested from cover to cover and beyond. The plot is astonishing with twists and turns weaved into a well thought and planned story. There’s no pretense and romance was well balanced and done entirely correctly with properly distributed amounts of hints, behaviors and incredible, undeniable chemistry. Predictability is at an all-time low. With the exception of series based books that follow the same path but are just as good. Overall, Favorite, must read again, recommend!!!

Mercy Thompson: Homecoming by Patricia BriggsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 Stars:
The story is good and informs readers how Mercy and Stefan became friends. As well as how the tantalizing not so much a relationship ignites a flare when Adam thrusts his way into Mercy life. We also discover the reason the cat like wolves and why the cat will never be eaten by Adam no matter how grumpy he may seem.
This was my first graphic novel experience and I was somewhat disappointed. In this prequel to The Mercy Thompson Series, it introduces us to the tri-city area Mercy calls home. The story line is good, however, it holds several major inconstancy/ inaccuracies are apparent throughout the novel but don’t let that distract you. It is an enjoyable read if you are a fan of the Mercy Thompson Universe! However, I feel I must warn readers, especially the females. Mercy strong heroin character goes from being a Native American/ white coyote with a back bone to an always naked brunette with big tits a little brain.
I enjoyed a peek into tantalizing not so much a relationship ignites a flare when Adam thrusts his way into Mercy life. However, again ~this differs from what Patricia Briggs has written in her series. We also discover a new reason the cat likes wolves and why the cat will never be eaten by Adam no matter how grumpy he may seem. In addition, readers learn a different scenario as to how Ted, Stefan and Zee fit in Mercy’s life. Again, that differs from the original story line.
In conclusion, in the back of this hardback graphic novel, readers will find and enjoy an art gallery and an interview with the author, Patricia Briggs, by David Lawrence.

Intertwined by Gena ShowalterMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC Stars: !!!
This was a very nice surprising book! I originally chose this book because of the cover, which I'm well-known for doing. Fast-paced and slightly scary. You will fall in love with Aden. The characters are very likable and have so much depth. I found myself being sucked into the story, and I could not put it down. Definitely, the best YA read to pass my way.
I loved the supernatural world that GS created with werewolves, vampires, zombies, witches, ghosts, fairies, goblins and who knows what else! Don't let that make you think this is just a vampire book because it is so... definitely not.
One of the best aspects of this book was that it was filled with tons of surprises that keeps you guessing. Intertwined is a well-written novel if you're into the teen paranormal stories, this is one not to miss. I definitely recommend reading.
