Synopsis: When mechanic and shapeshifter Mercy Thompson attempts to return a powerful Fae book she'd previously borrowed in an act of desperation, she finds the bookstore locked up and closed down.
It seems the book contains secret knowledge-and the Fae will do just about anything to keep it out of the wrong hands. And if that doesn't take enough of Mercy's attention, her friend Samuel is struggling with his wolf side-leaving Mercy to cover for him, lest his own father declare Sam's life forfeit.
All in all, Mercy has had better days. And if she isn't careful, she might not have many more to live...

Here we go again! Silver Borne takes us even further into the fae world. Who knew that the fae could be so terrorizing? Well, if you read any books about the fae you know that they can be more than dangerous, especially fairy Queens. They are almost always very bad and that stands true for the villain of Silver Borne. Mercy has something that the Fairy Queen desperately wants and she's not above trickery, kidnapping and brainwashing among other things to get it.
Before the fae roller-coaster begins, we find Samuel having a tough time, and it gets pretty bad for him. I always assumed that Samuel is a very strong person as his wolf is so dominant, but apparently he's not as strong as I thought. With him teetering on the edge of no return, thanks to Mercy, things start looking up. Towards the end of the book Samuel experiences a huge change in his personal life that I'm very happy to see. He deserves a slice of happiness.
Outside of Samuel, the rest of the cast of characters; including the wolf pack members, local vampires and fae, make for a more in-depth story and add a piece to the puzzle. There are so many layers and connections among them that the character development among the secondary characters is impressive.

Moments of high drama, action, sadness and relief will flood your emotions as you take this intense ride into fairy land. There's a huge turning point with Mercy and Adams relationship. Will Mercy finally accept what is between her and Adam, and her and the pack? Like the song goes, "You don't know what you got til it's gone". Thank goodness Mercy is a quick study.
While she's a bit hardheaded, Mercy is strong woman, a strong coyote. Adam constantly worries about her well being, and while she gets some help from her friends, she always comes out of it on her own two feet. Maybe a little worse for wear, but she always manages to kill her opponent without help. I like that best about Mercy. She's real, she has feelings, she stumbles, she's not invincible, but she comes out on top and she can take care of herself.
The narrator, Lorelei King is her usual awesomeness. If I had nothing to do all day, I would have listened to the audiobook in one 9 hour block.
I can't speak highly enough of this series. It's truly one of my favorites, same as Patricia Briggs is becoming one of my favorite authors. I'll be sad when I’m caught up and I'll have to wait until the next book is released. If only I could make myself slow down...nope, that’s not going to happen!
Happy Reading & Listening,
