Welcome to Litsy!

Number 13 in series this one finds Mercy and gang going up against an ancient and powerful artifact known as the Soul Taker who is taking prisoners and leaving victims in its wake. There‘s also still an issue with Adam‘s personal demons, Wulfe and the entire local vampire seethe has gone missing and a mysterious pack member‘s identity is discovered. As usual lots going on. My only disappointment is that we haven‘t seen more of Stefan in either 🔻

I absolutely NEED a spin-off novel(la?) focusing on our Renaissance vampires

Officially caught up with the Mercy Thompson series now!
I do quite like Wulfe so seeing a bit more of him and Zee was quite a nice change.
Another great read!

The Mercy Thompson series has become one of the few series that I look forward to reading every single year. For me, Mercy is one of my favorite literary characters. It felt good to become immersed in her world again. The only thing that I did not like about the story is that at one point it started to drag a bit. However, I truly enjoyed the ending. I am looking forward to reading the next book. #SoulTaken #PatriciaBriggs ⭐️⭐️⭐️

14 pages in.

Very good. Enjoyed this very much.

Sigh😭😭😭 I couldn‘t stop myself and read all 13 books back to back and now it‘s over I just want to go back to the beginning ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Do yourself a favor and read this series. If you are looking for urban fantasy with adults, amazing characters, werewolves, shapeshifters, fae, vampires and great world building this is your series!!! This series deserves so much hype 🙌🏾🙌🏾

I recently reorganized the bookcase in my bedroom (the TBR bookcase is still in progress). This is my Mercy-verse section. Isn‘t it satisfying to have everything in order?

The book was great, as usual. I liked seeing more of the backstories, and while Wulfe is definitely not one of my favorite characters he certainly is interesting.

Recent #bookmail (middle and right) and library #bookhaul (left) for #LitsySciFiBookClub - I have some great books lined up for this month. All I need now is time!

First book of.2023! Although I love this series and these characters ,I felt this latest installment in the Mercy Thomson series got bogged down in the details. I do not enjoy it when a story becomes so complex I need to make a flow chart to understand what's going on. I want to read and have fun! I want more of Mercy, her pack and Zee - I don't need to know the back story for every vampire in the seethe!

I don‘t think this was as well written as other books in the series, but I really enjoyed the development of the world when it comes to magic and artifacts.
Murders are happening in a grisly way, and Mercy‘s unique magic is going to help them catch the killer - if she can survive what her magic does to her. We learn why Zee came out to what was the middle of nowhere.
3.5/5 read for a dark addition to the series, and learn more about Zee and Tad

Starting to plan my reading for 2023 already. Book buying bans and TBR games here we come….

This was an excellent new installment of the Mercy Thompson series, a series a coyote shifter who is part of a werewolf pack. This round she is figuring out where one of the local vampires has gone and how is it linked to a series of slasher like murders? Perfect reading for Halloween! 5⭐️

A solid entry into the series but not one of my favorites. This one deals more with supernatural politicking and fae artifacts and I tend to like the ones based on some sort of mythology.

Finished in a couple of days. Definitely still my favourite series. I highly recommend this series to everyone.

Mercy and her pack have been through a lot in this series and this time out is no exception. If you‘ve been reading this series, book 13 will not disappoint.

Finally got to start this one. I have loved this series for ages. It's such a great series. Had to put my other book on hold so I can read this quickly. Which won't be a problem. I am already sucked in. ❤️

📚 Despite having a crazy, stressful summer, I manage to did read some. The tagged was a long awaited pre-order and another excellent installment in the Marcy Thompson series.

🍁 I‘m ready for autumn. It‘s my favorite season! 🎃🖤☠️🧡🧙🏻

📸 My last sunset at my apartment in Okinawa + my friend Ali & I drinking champagne on the sea wall our last week in 🇯🇵.

One last hurrah at the pool before it closes for the season.

She‘s here and she‘s beautiful!!!

And I‘m so excited to dive in!!!

After finishing the previous book, Smoke Bitten.it was a reread, I'm finally starting Soul Taken!

#NSR22 #Fantasy #UrbanFantasy
Literally read this in a 24hr period. I loved all of it and will probably read it again before the end of the year. Since this is the 13th book in the series it‘s difficult to talk about in a non-spoiler way. But if you‘re looking for a gateway book into autumnal feels this year, this would be a great way to kick off the pumpkin spice season!

I tried to make it last but I just couldn‘t stop! ❤️❤️❤️An intriguing chapter in the Mercy Thompson-Hautman world. So much intrigue. So much to distill. I can‘t say any more without giving details away.

And now we have to anxiously wait for the next book 😭😭😭

RELEASE DAY!!! 🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥳

Added my favorite June book to my #2022ReadingBracket, Soul Taken by Patricia Briggs. But it went up against and lost to my May favorite, The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes by Cat Sebastian.

#SundaySoapbox

My most anticipated is the new Mercy Thompson book by Patricia Briggs (tagged) followed closely by Emily Henry‘s Book Lovers. Then JD Robb has 2 new In Death books (Feb & Sept).

But since I‘m on a book buying ban (I explain that here: http://wanderinglynn.com/2022/01/02/a-year-of-books-100-books-in-2022/), I‘m trying not to find too many new releases. 😆

Oh, man. Look at this amazing cover for the next Mercy Thompson book.
😮🤩😍
