Storm Cursed – Patricia Briggs

There’s to be a meeting between the US government and the fae Gray Lords – both sides recognizing that coming to terms with each other is in each others’ best interests. Adam’s pack has been tapped to provide security, and Mercy gets roped into more or less emceeing the event. Naturally, there are supernatural forces that don’t want this meeting to happen, namely a group of very powerful witches.

This story goes pretty dark (at least as the tone of this particular series goes). There’s a betrayal by a surprising source. There are also some interesting tidbits about witches and witchborn creatures thrown in that have some potential for future books.

This book does come across as a bit of a waybook in the larger series, but it’s pretty good as that kind of waybook goes.
