This time she may get more than she bargained for.Marsilia, the local Vampire Queen, has learned that Mercy crossed her by slaying a member of her clanand she's out for blood. But since Mercy is protected from direct reprisal by the werewolf pack (and her close relationship with its sexy Alpha), it won't be Mercy's blood Marsilia is after.It'll be her friends'.

I know I said this about Iron Kissed, but I think this might be my favourite in the series! It had the same kind of mystery plot as the other books, but with the added extra of Adam and Mercy trying making the first forage into their relationship. I can't really say anything different about Bone Crossed that I have about the other books in the series. Mercy is now a firmly one of my favourite heroines, the plot was interesting and kept me guessing and Adam was wicked hot. For me this series gets better and better as you learn more and more about paranormal world the Mercy seems to keep getting mixed up in.I do seem to be developing another crush as well, does anyone else have the hots for Bran?

I feel like if I tried to explain what I do and don't like about these books, it's not going to make any sense. My mind wanders. Even during the "exciting" parts. I don't know. I wish I did. It must be a personal style thing because I do read "non-fluffy" books and "not the usual genre standard" books. My mind wanders. Even right after I finish a chapter which held my interest, my mind wanders when things lull out for a minute. The series is good enough, but not grabbing me. I'll possibly try book 5 after a break (how many months did I put between 3 and 4? I don't even know, but it was a lot).

Poor Mercy! She doesn't get much of a break from her ordeal in the previous book before she's back in the action. She seems to be the catalyst for trouble. The magic world continues to gain new depth as the books continue, each new insight building on what we know from the previous books. And then of course there's Adam and Mercy...another excellent read.This series is a slow burner. I wasn't that impressed with the first book, the second was better, the third a big wowser and SOLD!

Bone Crossed is not on my top favorites list in this series. Actually, it is probably my least favorite.Mercys mother pays an unexpected visit due to the rape and murder from the previous book. Ben, as weird and revealing as his character proved in the last book .. had a warm reaction to her presence.But his attention was all for my mother. (Bens)Shes married, I warned him. And if you call her a rude name, shell shoot you with her pretty pink gun and Ill spit on your grave.Adam said, Ben. Meet Mercys mother, Margi.That was the only highlight from this book. I found it quite uninteresting. Mercy struggles with the trauma of being raped. Adam is patient. Understanding the fragile situation, he helps Mercy through her panic attacks.An old friend of Mercys, Amber, invites Mercy to visit her home. A ghost is haunting her son and her arrogant and stubborn husband believes that she and her son, Chad is making it up.Thats basically the jest of the book. There are some sweet moments. I could go into them without spoiling anything .. but they are unworthy of typing I dislike giving negative reviews, especially those pertaining to my favorite authors. Nonetheless .. Bleh.I recommend this book only to mature adults who are reading this series. It would be confusing and boring to others. Mild violence and implied sexual content without description.~Happy reading!

If there is one reason why I love this series - MERCY THOMPSONI want to be her best friend. Shes an amazing character brave, strong, humble, feisty, loyal, and shes a mechanic with a fabulous car!!!!And then theres her relationship with wolf shape shifter, Adam Hauptman!!! Hes a total alpha malepossessive, arrogant, brave but he doesnt take over Mercys life.he respects and admires herand of course hes totally in love with her..swoon.what a man!!!I love the world the author has created filled with fantasy characters - shape shifters, fae, vampires, werewolves, coyotes that makes this series truly addictive.Her character development is incredible and some of the secondary characters have really engaging and endearing.Stefan, Mercys vampire friend, Samuel, Mercys mother!!!Bones Crossed, the 4th book in this series has an engrossing storyline that kept me captivated until the last page. I cant wait to get more of Mercy Thompson!!
