Is the correct term for the abduction of shapeshifters werenapping?
Our favourite coyote is back, the rest of her pack less so. Some mad fool has decided to abduct Adam and the rest of the Tri-Cities werewolves. They also come after Mercy and all of her friends. That's one way to invite yourself to be dinner I suppose.
Halfway through the novel I was reminded why I've been enjoying the Mercy Thompson series so much. Patricia Briggs sets a plot in motion but doesn't follow the standard path you would expect. Without spoiling things, we get more plot and a different endpoint than you were initially expecting. Most authors would set that initial plot in motion and try to make the ride enjoyable. Briggs makes the ride to the shops enjoyable but also changes the destination for somewhere with ocean views.
