Still loving this series! (view spoiler)[I'm a bit disappointed the actual wedding ceremony wasn't detailed beyond the set up and reception. Also I would have liked more details on the first night of the honeymoon ;) (hide spoiler)] Another fun and fast read!
River Marked, book #6 in the Mercy Thompson urban fantasy series, takes place mostly during Mercy's honeymoon, which starts off wonderfully (I <3 Adam) and then goes south in a way that only Mercy's life can, with something very ancient, fearsome and hungry in the water. It's worse than Jaws for making you afraid to go in the water.A fair amount of Native American mythology - or Briggs' variation on it, anyway - is woven into the storyline, along with the usual suspects (werewolves, vampires and...
Re-read for a 3rd time April 23, 2020I find more to love after every reading!Re-read March 27th 2017****Spoilers if you haven't read the previous books.****Adam and Mercy go on a luxury camping honeymoon, and trouble and excitement follow, because nothing can be simple or boring in Mercy's life. River monsters, psycho otters, other shifters and Coyote show up to make things interesting. Love Adam and Mercy together! They are definitely a power couple. Lorelei King's narration as usual was amazin...
Patricia Briggs has this amazing ability to keep this series feeling fresh. Unlike other longer series (for example, the Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries) the plot lines never feel contrived or forced. River Marked is the epitome of Brigg's ability to tell a story that feels so real, despite the fantasy. When more is revealed about Mercy's background it seems authentic, not like Sookie's fairyblood, which seemed pulled out of Harris' ass. The new supernaturals fall flawlessly into their place in Brig...
The tone in River Marked was a bit different from the earlier books in the series. While I welcomed the added focus on her relationship and the romance, the pressure seemed too light on Mercy, which slowed the pace more than I liked. I really think not including the established cast of characters also hurt the story a little.We did get to see a few new secondary characters, though, and some of them look like they might be recurring. The main one was Coyote of Indian legend. As one would expect,
This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life in Books.This wasn't my favorite book in the series but it was still a really good story. If you have been following my reviews you probably already know that I adore this series. I remember reading this book back when it was first released and enjoying it and I liked it just as much on this audio re-read. This is a series that I have made a point to keep up with and look forward to every installment. I had a lot of fun listening to the audio...
As much as I've loved reading every book so far in this series, it is about time that we got something like this one. The old Mercy and Adam are back at it again but with sweeter, more tender moments between them that will make you melt. And while most of the pack wasn't present in this, it was okay because for once, this book is all about Mercy. Her heritage, her (finally) feeling like she belongs somewhere, and of course, her relationship with Adam and I couldn't of asked for more.We got so mu...
Mercy is back ~~ sassier than ever and with her classic ability to find trouble basically anywhere This series continues to be a fun brilliant example of paranormal detectives — create an intriguing mystery plot then sprinkle on your own unique take. In this series, Mercy Thompson is a Mechanic, Shapeshifter, and fighter who is finally joining the rest of the paranormal world and meeting others of her kind. And may I just say... they are very sexy *smirks*We meet some new enemies and allies, see...
4.5 Stars for River Marked: Mercy Thompson Series, Book 6 (audiobook) by Patricia Briggs read by Lorelei King.I really like where this story is going. We are learning so much more about Mercy and the world around her.
4.5 STARS!!!Even after five books, Briggs is able to keep the Mercy Thompson world fresh. I found that this book was very different from the others. It’s set in an entirely different place. No garage here, even though I kind of missed that. The Pack is set on the sidelines, while Mercy and Adam take centre stage and new characters are introduced. The newbies are very interesting because they are the first Native Americans we’ve encountered in this series apart from Mercy. River-Marked explores
An excellent adventure for Mercy and Adam. Fantastic twists, heart felt emotions and constants action, the newest addition to the Mercy Thompson series is AWESOME. I did however miss the interaction with regular characters of this series but it was in no way detrimental to the story line.
I don't understand why so many people liked this book so much less than the others. It's my absolute favorite so far. I love, love, LOVED it. I've always loved Native American Folklore though. But that's just me.
