Murder by Death

I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.

Silver Borne (Mercy Thompson, Book 5)

Silver Borne - Patricia Briggs

This was my favorite book of the series until the last fifth or so the time spent in Elphame and that only because fae is my least favorite of the supernatural, I think. Still, this was an excellent read and I loved it. I really enjoyed the time spent on developing Mercy and Adam's relationship, the pack, and definitely on Samuel. This book felt a lot less high-intensity than the ones before it in many ways, and I appreciated the break.

 

I can't say a whole lot about the plot beyond what's written on the back cover without going spoilerish. As I mentioned above, not a fan of the typical fae mythology - although I really like Zee and the way the author weaves the truth behind the fairy tales into this series. I just prefer them more when they aren't taking center stage and this book - at least the last half, they are definitely center stage.

 

I have the next one on it's way to me now and I can't wait to read it.
