Night Broken – Patricia Briggs

Adam’s ex-wife is back – she’s gotten herself into trouble with a man who’s now stalking her, and is apparently willing to kill the people around her. Adam takes her in because she is the mother of his daughter, and since he is an alpha werewolf, it is pretty much his job to protect people. Mercy doesn’t like it, but she also knows that most of the rest of the pack was really fond of Christy, and she’ll just look petty if she doesn’t go along with things.

Turns out Christy’s stalker is basically the spirit of a volcano, and he is really not going to be easy to take on. At the same time, Mercy needs to get in touch with Coyote, because he has something she gave to him that the local Fae have decided they want. When Coyote’s around, things tend to get really interesting.

I’m still not entirely sure what I think about this book. The whole subplot with Christy was a bit much – she’s pretty much a terrible person (who makes really horrid choices), and yet certain members of the pack seem to be right back under her thrall. The bad guy was an interesting addition – bringing in a whole other mythology (so far it’s been European Fae and Native American myths) was an interesting direction to take.
