Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs is another book I picked up from a grocery store bin.

It must have been fate, because I rarely step foot in a grocery store. LOL

I am always up for one of her novels. How about you?

My 56

“Pack existed before ceremonies,” Sam said, sounding amused. “Magic binds more obviously, more extensively, but not more deeply.”

( page 56, in hardback,1st edition, published in 2010)

Book Beginnings

The starter complained as it turned over the old Buick’s heavy engine. I felt a  lot of sympathy for it since fighting outside my weight class was something I was intimately familiar with. I’m a coyote shapeshifter playing in a world of werewolves and vampires – outmatched is an understatement.

GOODREADS BLURB:  Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, never knows what the day – or night – may bring in a world where “witches, vampires, werewolves, and shapeshifters live beside ordinary people” (Booklist). But she is about to learn that while some secrets are dangerous whose who seek them are just plain deadly…

Mercy is smart enough to realize that when it comes to the magical fae, the less you know, the better. But you can’t always get what you want. When she attempts to return a powerful fae she previously borrowed in an act of desperation, she finds the bookstore locked up and closed down.

It seems the book contains secrets – and the fae will do just about anything to keep it out of the wrong hands. And if that doesn’t take enough of Mercy’s attention, her friend Samuel is struggling with his wolf side – leaving Mercy to cover for him lest his own father declare Samuel’s life forfeit.

All in all, Mercy has had better days. And if she isn’t careful, she may not have many more…

  4. I feel like you’ve posted about this book before. Something about fate and grocery stores seems familiar…

  6. I like cover number 3. And if there were books for sale at my grocery store, we wouldn’t eat!😂 Thanks for sharing. This looks great.

  7. Sounds like an incredible premise! Not my usual genre, but I might just look for this one. Thanks!

    P.S. I’ve tried unsuccessfully to leave comments before. Let’s hope it works today.

  9. Hi Sherry,

    Not one for me, I’m afraid. However I can still admire the striking cover art and strong storyline, made better of course, by the fact that there is mention of a bookstore in the premise.

    I hope that the series continues to draw you in 🙂

    Yvonne
