Werewolves, Vampires and Coyotes! Oh, My!!

Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs

Mercy Thompson is a mechanic. Now that sets her apart from most women I know, but she also has the ability to shift into a coyote. She's the girlfriend/mate of the Alpha werewolf, lives with a lone werewolf, was fostered by the head of all North American werewolves and has a friend who is a vampire. She is also a walker of Native American legend. This was explained in past books - seems to mean that she is immune to some of the magic of others.Her father was Native American. This book takes place after the nasty man raped Mercy and she killed him, then Adam (the Alpha) tore him apart. She's coming to grips with what has happened and then her vampire friend is literally dropped on her. He's been tortured, starved and is in very bad condition. The mistress of the vampires has evidently decided that Mercy is responsible for killing one of her vampires and is after Mercy's friends and family. A lot of ugly stuff but Briggs is like Charlaine Harris and Kim Harrison in that she can add a touch of humor to her novels. This one was a very fast read. More please.
