Iron Kissed (Patricia Briggs)

When her former boss and mentor is arrested for murder and left to rot behind bars by his own kind, it's up to shapeshifting car mechanic Mercy Thompson to clear his name, whether he wants her to or not. And she'll have to choose between the two werewolves in her life-whether she wants to or not.
This is #3 of the Mercy Thompson series and I'm loving every one.

Bone Crossed (Patricia Briggs)

Car mechanic/shapeshifter Mercy Thompson must protect her friends from vampire queen Marsilia's revenge.
#4 in the Mercy Thompson series. I love reading about Mercy and her friends. This one is going on my wish list.

Blood Bound (Patricia Briggs)

Mechanic Mercy Thompson has friends in low places-and in dark ones. And now she owes one of them a favor. Since she can shapeshift at will, she agrees to act as some extra muscle when her vampire friend Stefan goes to deliver a message to another of his kind.
But this new vampire is hardly ordinary-and neither is the demon inside of him.

I like this series very much! This is the 2nd in the Mercy Thompson series.
I love the fact that Mercy Thompson is a mechanic, doesn't describe herself as beautiful and takes care of her friends.

Hunting Ground (Patricia Briggs)

Anna and Charles have just been enlisted to attend a summit to present Bran's controversial proposition: that the wolves should finally reveal themselves to humans. But the most feared Alpha in Europe is dead set against the plan --and it seems like someone else might be, too. When Anna is attacked by vampires using pack magic, the kind of power only werewolves should be able to draw on, Charles and Anna must combine their talents to hunt down whoever is behind it all--or risk losing everything...

Patricia Briggs has brought us another wonderful novel.

Moon Called (Patricia Briggs)

Mercy Thompson's life is not exactly normal. Her next-door neighbor is a werewolf. Her former boss is a gremlin. And she's fixing a VW bus for a vampire. But then, Mercy isn't exactly normal herself.
This was an easy read that I had problems putting down! The main charactors were well developed (love a tough female), plot interesting with a quick pace, and the ending had me reaching for the second book! Love Mercy and all her super natural friends.
This is the first of the Mercy Thompson series.

Cry Wolf (Patricia Briggs)

INTRODUCING THE ALPHA AND OMEGA NOVELS...Anna never knew werewolves existed until the night she survived a violent attack…and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the pack, she’d learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. But Anna is that rarest kind of werewolf: an Omega. And one of the most powerful werewolves in the country will recognize her value as a pack member—and as his mate.

The only downside I can think of for this book was that the author made reference to things that happened in her Mercy Thompson series. It made me feel I was missing something and maybe I should have read that series first.
Like I said, that was the only downside. I enjoyed this story!

On The Prowl (story collection)

These all-new paranormal romances from today's hottest authors feature a female werewolf who comes into her own; a Lord who crosses paths with a fiery mage; a mixed-blood Child of the Moon who faces an uncertain future; and a woman whose sixth sense proves to be a dangerous talent.
I like reading story collections. It helps me to discover new authors that I can seek out later if I like their writing style.
The first book is by Patricia Briggs and is the prelude to her Alpha & Omega series. I enjoyed this story enough that I went the next day to get that series.
I usually enjoy Eileen Wilks & Karen Chance but I was a little bored & disappointed with their stories.
Sunny's story was horrible.It was mainly sex with only enough story to tie the romance and sex episodes together. I felt as if I was witnessing a cheap porn movie! I have to say I was very disappointed to have to wade through all of that in an attempt to find a storyline.
