Fair Game – Patricia Briggs

It’s been interesting reading this series, which runs parallel to the Mercy Thompson series – it’s been nice to fill in some of the additional detail of things that influence Mercy’s story. In this case, it’s the events leading up to the Fae retreating to their reservations and refusing to deal with human laws.

Anna and Charles are sent to Boston to help the FBI catch a serial killer. The Marrok is hoping it helps in their ongoing PR campaign to help humans realize werewolves are not actively dangerous to them (well, much). But it’s also a chance for Charles to take a bit of a break from being his father’s enforcer. That job has been wearing on him since they’ve had to step up efforts since the werewolves came out in public. (The fact that catching a serial killer is a break is rather telling, but hey, they definitely live in interesting times.)

I really like the Boston characters that are introduced, and I just really enjoy reading about Anna and Charles. (I may have used this book to reward myself for finally getting through the more difficult book I finished just before this…)
