Of all the trials and tribulations Mercy has faced, it’s quite endearing that the one thing that utterly terrifies her is her mother’s garish wedding plans! Lol, I can totally understand why! Seriously! Can you picture Mercy’s wedding complete with 100’s of Butterflies and Golden Balloons?...Tee hee…No way! Never fear, Mercy’s angst is for not and it all turns out perfectly, in the end. Well, that is except for the honeymoon!
Having already faced many a dangerous foe, Mercy now confronts the terrifying reality that she may not come out of this adventure alive. In a coup to place Mercy once again in the position to “save the day”, Uncle Mike has loaned the newlyweds his luxurious trailer and they camp in a, yet un-opened to the public, trailer park owned by another Fae named Edythe (aka Yo Yo Girl)…And we all know that nothing is ever freely offered by the Fae! Oh Dear! Looks like Mercy is into “it” but good once again! As it turns out, there is something very suspicious and extremely dangerous going on in the Columbia River and, of course, it seems it’s up to Mercy to take care of business!
In book 6 of the series, the information shared about Mercy’s heritage is spectacular. While in previous installments we were treated to just a glimpse, this time ‘round Briggs delves deeper, shedding much more insight into Mercy’s past and the history of her people.
Complete with lots of laughs, plenty of “Mercy & Adam” time, and the ever present “trouble” that seems to follow Mercy like a lost puppy, River Marked
is yet another example of Briggs mastery of the genre. With plenty of nail-biting excitement, fast-paced action and all sorts of new friends and foes, River Marked culminates perfectly in what appears to be a significant turning point promising much more excitement in Mercy’s adventures to come!While there are plenty of laughs and just as many dangerous endeavors within River Marked
, Patricia Briggs included a treat for readers, within the final pages of the book. Now, I can't spoil the surprise because I really don't want to ruin the effect. Suffice it to say, readers will see a new side of Mercy and may even be grabbing for the nearest tissue box! Way to go Ms. Briggs! You always seem to find an amazing way to blind-side your readers! One way or another, you always have something totally unexpected up your sleeve!~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Car mechanic Mercy Thompson has always known there was something different about her, and not just the way she can make a VW engine sit up and beg. Mercy is a shapeshifter, a talent she inherited from her long-gone father. She's never known any others of her kind. Until now.
An evil is stirring in the depths of the Columbia River-one that her father's people may know something about. And to have any hope of surviving, Mercy and her mate, the Alpha werewolf Adam, will need their help...
