Moon Called (Mercy Thompson, Book 1)

INTRODUCING THE FIRST BOOK IN THE MERCY THOMPSON SERIES! "Moon Called" marks the debut of Patricia Briggs’s beloved character, Mercy Thompson, and sets the stage for a #1 bestselling saga.

Mercy is a unique shapeshifter; despite her upbringing among werewolves, she knows she can never truly belong to their pack, especially after they cast her out for a forbidden romance. Embracing her independence, she has channeled her passion for automotive repair into a thriving one-woman mechanic shop situated in the Tri-Cities of Washington State.

However, the tranquility of Mercy’s two worlds begins to unravel when a half-starved teenage boy arrives at her garage seeking employment. As it turns out, he is a newly transformed werewolf, fleeing from his past and struggling to rein in his burgeoning animal instincts. In light of this situation, Mercy turns to her neighbor, Adam Hauptman, who happens to be the Alpha of the local werewolf pack, for help.

Yet, Mercy's compassion leads to unforeseen complications that force her to reach out to those she once deemed family—the very werewolves who had forsaken her. The narrative unfolds with Mercy navigating the complexities of loyalty, family, and her own identity amid a turbulent backdrop of supernatural politics.

Critics have noted that “In the increasingly crowded field of kick-ass supernatural heroines, Mercy stands out as one of the best," as stated by Locus. This remarkable blend of urban fantasy, emotional depth, and a strong, relatable protagonist makes "Moon Called" an essential read for fans of the genre. As Mercy grapples with her place in a world that often feels hostile, her journey resonates with anyone who has experienced the struggle for acceptance and belonging.

Through engaging prose and vibrant storytelling, Patricia Briggs brings to life a tale of bravery, resilience, and the bonds that tie us to one another. "Moon Called" invites readers to immerse themselves in Mercy's world, where chaos and courage coexist in vibrant harmony.
