So the part about me having to wait a year+ for the next book, that's a joke right? Jk, this book came out two days ago and I've already read it, I know my mistake. I really liked this one though it missed all of the lovely Adam and Mercy stuff that I love. I'm curious to see where this leaves all the involved parties in relation to the humans. Should be interesting. Full review to come later.

Mercy, Adam, and the pack are called to deal with a troll wreaking havoc on a bridge. The only ones that could have sent the troll are the Fae. A human seeming child also shows up on the bridge. Mercy's sense of magic tells her that he is more than human. It is no coincidence that the boy and the troll showed up on the same bridge. Mercy needs to find out more about the boy, but first they have to figure out how to deal with the troll. This book was fabulous!!! I just love this series !!

Patricia Briggs's Mercy Thompson series is always fantastic. I love the dynamic between Mercy and Adam. And the way they interact with everyone else. They are first and foremost, a team.

Originally posted at Booklovers For Life It’s been a while since I’ve really delved back into urban fantasy, but reading Fire Touched reminded me of all the reasons why I love reading that genre. The Mercy Thompson series is one of my all-time favorites, so being back with Mercy and the gang was pure bliss. What I love most about Patricia Briggs books is that even though we’re this far into the series, all of the characters still grow, still go through their ups and downs, and experiencing all that along with them is one of the best feelings ever. “You and I,” he said, “will always be okay. I can’t promise anything more.” Mercy and Adam are back on track after the mess that was his ex-wife in the previous book, but of course, things are never easy for this couple. Tensions are rising between the fae, humans, and werewolves, and Mercy has become somewhat of a leader in keeping the peace. Adam is dealing with dangers that threaten his pack, his territory, and his mate. Beloved old characters return while new ones are introduced – one fire touched boy from “Underhill” needs protection from the Gray Lords who want to use him, and of course Mercy and the pack will do everything they can to help him. Fire Touched is definitely a game changer in the Mercy Thompson series and it’s an installment fans should not miss. I really loved the way everyone was working together to try to keep a war from breaking out, be they shifters, fae, or humans. Mercy is at the center of it all, the one everyone knows they can turn to because she’s someone they can trust to have their backs and keep her promises. I’ve seriously missed Mercy, who’s one of my favorite heroines ever. It was great to see her so strong and badass, funny and humble. And her relationship with Adam is as strong and steady as ever. Sometimes I get tired of a couple when their relationship lasts through many books, but I don’t think I’ll ever feel this way about Mercy and Adam. Despite the long time in between books I had to wait, I was easily able to immerse myself into Mercy’s world from the very first page of this book. Patricia Briggs’ writing is as fantastic, action-packed, and thrilling as ever. There was honestly never a dull moment in Fire Touched. If you’re a fan of the series, you already know how amazing these characters are so why wouldn’t you read this book!? If you’ve yet to experience the Mercy Thompson series, I highly recommend it if you love action, incredible and lovable characters, and a brilliantly-written paranormal world to get yourself sucked into. I can’t wait to see what Patricia Briggs has in store for us next! Thanks to the publisher for generously providing me an ARC to review.
