Smoke Bitten – Patricia Briggs

There’s a lot happening in this book – fallout from the events of the last book (where Adam was forced to kill a witch they thought was their friend), Adam’s ex-wife Christy still being an issue, and a mysterious door from Underhill parked in the backyard, which ends up unleashing an enemy they have to figure out how to deal with.

I like this series because it deals with relationships way more realistically than many other urban fantasy series, and this does not disappoint, even though Mercy is going through an absolute wringer here. (And really, we need to stop with the whole members of the pack are still backing up Christy thing – if this doesn’t put a final nail in that coffin, I will be irritated.)
