Frost Burned – Patricia Briggs

Bonding with her step-daughter Jesse has brought Mercy out on Black Friday – not something she’d like to be doing, especially when they manage to get in an accident with her beloved Rabbit. But, it turns out to be a good thing, because while they’re gone, the rest of the pack is kidnapped, even luring in the pack members that weren’t hanging around Adam’s house for the holidays. So now it’s up to Mercy to keep Jesse, and some of the other non-werewolf pack members safe while she figures out how to save the pack.

What I liked about this story was that even though a good chunk of the werewolves out there look down on Mercy because she’s “just” a coyote, she’s more than capable of holding her own – and this particular book proves that in spades. The mate bond she has with Adam is explored, and is definitely an interesting take on how that works. (Pack magic definitely has different treatments by different authors.)

I also really like how this overall story went – the person that was ultimately behind the kidnapping was an interesting twist I didn’t see coming. Definitely enjoyed this book – so glad I’ve got two more waiting for me.
