In the third Mercy Thompson installment, the story takes us into the the world of the Fae. The story takes off at a break neck pace from the moment Z and Uncle Mike asked Mercy to sniff out a Fae murderer. We take a peak into the land of the Fae, we learn more about their history, rules, community and power hierarchy.Briggs brings a story with lots of plot layers and ever evolving characters.
Mercy is one tough chick, I know I've said that before, but seriously - this woman takes a sever licking and keeps pushing on. This time her downfall was her own sloppy investigating. She barely made it out of this one alive. Toward the end, the story took a very scary and dark turn for Mercy, pretty disturbing actually. It became blatantly clear that she is not a invincible. Some parts are clearly tough to get through, but the payoff in the end makes it a little more bearable.

Mercy and Adam's relationship turns a corner in this book. Due the recent events, I'm liking Adam even more. He definitely has a hard scull, but some how, some way, he sees the light - surprisingly we can thank a very unlikely pack member for the push that sets Adam in the right direction. Now that I've mentioned Mercy and Adam, I've got to address the elephant in the room, Mercy and Sam. What can I say without giving everything away? Well, I'll just say that Briggs really wrapped up that conflict up with a pretty bow!
The narrator is amazing. King and Briggs together make one amazing audiobook. Iron Kissed is the perfect novel for listening because you'll be so enthralled with the story that you won't even notice how much time has passed.
Iron Kissed is proof that each book in the series just keeps getting better and better. I hope that Briggs can keep this pace up for the long haul, because I'm settled in and will listen until the end. If you've already started reading or listening to the Mercy Thompson series, you've got to check out Iron Kissed. You'll be happy you did. If you like a strong female heroine and equally powerful men mixed with urban fantasy and a side of romance, then you'll be happy to add this series to your collection.
Happy Reading and Listening,
