A neighbor to a werewolf and an employee to a gremlin boss in Moon Called, Mercy Thompson is no different and no ordinary woman in the werewolf neighborhood. She can shift from a human form into a coyote skinwalker in a blink after working on a vampire’s bus in her all-woman mechanic shop.
Adam, as an Alpha, will play a significant role in helping Mercy because he, too, has a daughter (Jessy) who has been kidnapped by the same people running after Mac, the boy who luckily escaped from his captors.
It is a supernatural world that follows the rules of the real world. You will feel they are one of us in the Moon Called series.
Wondering how all these supernaturals are all living in the same neighborhood too fantastic for words? Get your question answered by reading Moon Called by Patricia Briggs now!
Part 3: The Main Plot of Moon Called
Moon Called Series follows the story of a professional mechanic and a coyote shifter raised by a family of werewolves. They treat her as a real family until a starved, newly-turned young wolf appears at her doorstep for work. Mercy knows the best thing to do is help the reluctant, fragile boy.
Asking her family for help, the least thing she expected was for them to turn her down. They abandon her when she needs their help the most for wanting to save poor Mac.
Even in the supernatural world of the Moon Called book series, such an act of kindness could lead one to danger, too. Even a walker like Mercy Thompson.
She has to flee from the sudden threatening war to her childhood home and eventually finds herself asking the vampires for help.
Little does Mercy know, her genuine intention to help will get her all the unwanted attention in this supernatural world. And perhaps, to a series of misadventures, especially when she learns Mac, the young runaway werewolf, is an escapee from a laboratory facility for an ongoing experiment.
Despite the danger, Mercy Thompson’s compassion has no second thoughts and kills the villains to continue saving the boy. Things get out of hand as one of them is a werewolf.
The book is filled with exciting twists and turns that will leave you guessing what’s waiting for Mercy next.
Once you start reading Moon Called, you’ll wish there were more in the series! More characters to meet. More places to be, and more importantly, more books to read!
Part 4: Moon Called Breaks The Typical
The fascinating thing about the Moon Called series is how most of the characters are supernaturals like werewolves, vampires, and fae (faeries) creatures yet, with lives like ordinary people. Adam, for instance, Tri-Cities Alpha, is a divorced neighbor. We all thought werewolf mating bonds are difficult to break, and here is Moon Called Patricia Briggs series giving them the right to divorce!
Also, the development of the romance between Mercy and Adam is well done; they’re both loners who have trouble trusting humans and supernaturals alike.
Patricia Briggs makes the characters all-natural as if they exist in the real world with how they live their lives only they are supernaturals with dangerous instincts. Plus, the Moon Called book setting is creatively described; even though fictitious, they seem real to the reader.
Moon Called series is a great read!
