Publisher's summary

Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, faces a threat unlike any other in this thrilling entry in the number one New York Times best-selling series.

I am Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman.
My only “superpowers” are that I turn into a 35 pound coyote and fix Volkswagens. But I have friends in odd places and a pack of werewolves at my back. It looks like I'm going to need them.

Centuries ago, the fae dwelt in Underhill - until she locked her doors against them. They left behind their great castles and troves of magical artifacts. They abandoned their prisoners and their pets. Without the fae to mind them, those creatures who remained behind roamed freely through Underhill wreaking havoc. Only the deadliest survived.

Now one of those prisoners has escaped. It can look like anyone, any creature it chooses. But if it bites you, it controls you. It lives for chaos and destruction. It can make you do anything - even kill the person you love the most. Now it is here, in the Tri-Cities. In my territory.

It won't, can't, remain.

Not if I have anything to say about it.

WORTH THE WAIT!!!

I don’t know why this one was one of my most expected books of the year. It was a “I CANNOT WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT” book! I was also afraid that my high expectations would make this book feel not as good as it should because this has happened to me before - with books, movies, and other things.

Well, I shouldn’t have worried. The book was awesome. And it met my high expectations wonderfully!

As I don’t want to leave spoilers I can only said that Mercy did what she does best! And to not miss this installment of the Mercyverse! It was worth the wait!

Recommended audiobook!

Just now as good as the others

I feel like this book brought a lot of new concepts, but it didn't really resolve any of them. I find myself lacking a feeling of closure, and it doesn't provide the satisfaction I was hoping after waiting for this book to be released.

Not her usual thriller

Of course, I loved it! The climax was very anti-climatic. I feel like her next book might be more thrilling though. Of course I still love the voice actress. Thank you!

Another awesome book in the Mercyverse!

I love this series and this book did not disappoint! It's full of mystery and intrigue and some struggles with the main characters relationship. There were plenty of ups and downs and I never lost interest.

This is my favorite narrator ever! She's amazing and does another awesome job. Her voices are recognizable for each different character and her delivery is spot on!

I'd suggest reading the rest of the series before this one.
